 Deceiving October 13, 2006

I bought the whole set based on some posts I saw at a GMAT forum along with the Princeton Review GMAT books, and the Official Guides.
After doing all three of them, I've this to be the most disappointing. There's a couple of reasons:
1) there's some typo errors, which should be fixed as this is a study book
2) there's questions and sometimes even entire passages copied STRAIGHT out of the Official Guide. I'm not sure the copywrite law on this but it was really tedious since I already went over the OG. Also, it was a waste of my money to have bought both the sets.
3) the explanations are mediocre at best. There's also little follow-up and in depth explanation.
4) The level of the questions were too easy. If you're looking to boost your 500 to a 600 this book might help. If you're looking to get a 700+, these books have almost no material dealing with that diffculty.
Either way though, if you have the official guides (11th edition), you basically have these books

I am certain it will increase your verbal score, and I just can't handle any more competition for b-school!!!
Please buy the Kaplan book instead!
Thanks

What a didactic little tome! The concept of "self-study" should necessarily entail the use of materials that demystify a given topic; this book unfortunately achieves the opposite effect through a strange vacillation between overly pedantic musings and incomplete explanations. A more conversational, accessible writing style would be of greater benefit to the dilettante grammarian. If you've hated reading my review thus far, for instance, you would dislike this book immensely. If you're looking for erudite treatment of a topic that should be presented simply, buy this book or the GMAT Official Guide. If you want a more functional analysis of sentence corrections, I recommend you look elsewhere.

This book was pure joy. It gave the right concepts for tackling
GMAT Sentence Completion questions. Also, they order official GMAT Guide questions by category, which is really very very helpful.
I can confidently say that this book will help you quite a bit.
Very very satisfied reader.
(Also, i bought all their 7 books. They are just classics. If you dont have the money to enroll for expensive preparation courses, just buy the 7 GMAT books from these guys. They seem to know what
they are doing)

If you are serious about getting into top B school then 15$ is a trifle amount for this book. Although book itself does not have many excercises but the online material that comes with the book alone is worth more than 15$. This book has some tricks which I couldnt find in most other books and since Sentence correction was the only department where I wasnt scoring correctly over 95th%, I had to get this book.
With this book you can take 3 online CAT exams. To give you an idea I took the third exams 1 day before GMAT and got 760 in that. Guess what my GMAT score was? 760.
In the end if you are serious about getting top score you should get this book.
