Like the larger book, this manual presents reviews, advice, and brush-ups that apply to reading comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, math problem solving, and an analytical writing assessment.

3.0 out of 5 stars
you get what you pay for,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barron's Pass Key to the Gmat (Paperback)
If you have a tight budget, buy this book. If you are more concerned with accuracy, keep looking. The book is good but has many errors that make it hard to trust. With wrong answers listed as right in an answer key, it's difficult to have faith in the accuracy of your results. Sample test results are not numeric, also, which would allow a more meaningful practice run, in my opinion. I'm sure the actual scoring algorithms are likely difficult to replicate, but even just a rough guide like "a score of FAIR on a section may translate into a 500-600 rough score estimate" would be a big help for those of us with a goal score in mind. The book is well worth the price, but may be disappointing if you hoped to get it all in this package or are annoyed by errors.

It's cheap but too outdated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barron's Pass Key to the Gmat (Paperback)
This book does not have current GMAT information. The test is now computer-based and its best advice to you in preparing is to remember to bring plenty of #2 pencils to the test site.

Cheap but flawed,

This review is from: Pass Key to the GMAT (Paperback)
This books needs a good proofreading. There are lots of typographical errors and examples where the answer is an answer to a different question. Also, some of the answers in the critical reasoning and sentence correction are just plain wrong! In every set of questions i missed @2 that i believed i had the right answer; and i usually got only 80% right in this book, but when i take the sample tests in the official gmat book (straight from the gmat folks) i get 95% correct, so i think the problem is w/ the book and not me. this may not have anything to do w/ the problems in the book, but i noticed that the authors are israeli, so i'm skeptical they're to be relied on as the authoritative source on idiomatic English, just as i would be skeptical, in the absence of any other evidence, of any Americans who claimed to be the arbiter of idiomatic Hebrew. nonetheless, this book is good practice and small and portable, but don't take their answers as gospel.
