4.0 out of 5 stars It's the only one so far, May 9, 2007

This review is from: Certified MBA Exam Prep Guide (Paperback)

Well, let's see. I'm beginning my MBA soon and am transcribing this into my computer for a little advance preparation. There are questions that my sole 200-level accounting course has prepared me to answer; some of the questions are written so poorly that you have to assume information (albeit not important info normally); it was obviously written by different people as the questions will change format/wording from section to section; there should have been an additional editing as there are repeated questions and small typo errors; and there are no "interactive and prescriptive electronic review modules" as stated on the back cover - at least that's what the publisher has replied to my e-mail. I cannot determine if it will assist me in my studies or in preparing for the CMBA, but I believe it is filling my idle time with a worthwhile task. All things considered I believe the next edition will have to be improved.

3.0 out of 5 stars Certified MBA Exam Prep Guide, October 24, 2008

This review is from: Certified MBA Exam Prep Guide (Paperback)

This prep guide's first part is a long list of the topics covered by the exam, and its second part is 15 - 25 multiple choice questions on each topic. It is obviously a compilation of many different people's work, and really needs to be edited for uniformity. In a few cases, the answers are incomplete or incorrect. One thing that I did not like is that the answer is printed directly below each question, so I had to spend several hours covering the answers up with post-it notes in order to be able to work through the questions without seeing the answer. Another drawback is that none of the answers are explained - all you know is whether you got the right answer or not, which makes the guide less useful as a study tool. However, it is good for helping you identify your areas of weakness so that you can study the material elsewhere. I haven't taken the exam yet, so I can't comment on how well the prep questions match up with the topics on the actual exam.

Worth purchasing as it is a review of the years of study to gain an MBA. I note that the other people reviewing this text do NOT have a background in business or have their MBA degree so I felt it was worth sharing my review with others in pursuit of their MBA degree. This book is worth reading and reviewing a few times before any final examination. BTY: I ended my MBA degree with a 3.98 GPA.
