This is the best i have used so far. The math review is very detailed and by far the best. After going through another book, i learned so much more with this one. What I liked most is that the quick quizzes after each section are tougher than the lesson problems. So,they bring you up another level once you have mastered the lesson. E.g., I am better at sentence correction and breezed through those lessons, but got slowed down in the quiz. Each lesson takes ~1 hour, so the 24 hr thing refers to 24 man-hours of study, not day hours. I spent two weeks on the book.

I would recommend this book for anyone who is in a hurry to take the GMAT. It contains customized study plans that are timed. It also provides detailed explanations to both easy and difficult questions. The reviews on Math and Grammer sections are very helpful for those who need to be refreshed. This book provides peace of mind for anyone who seriously completes it.

I used this book as the capstone to a self-taught GMAT course. It provided adequate review of the quantitative and verbal concepts on the exam, challenging practice problems, and good answer explanations. The AWA section was also helpful.

In addition, I used Kaplan's CD and the GMAT PowerPrep software, both were also excellent.
