This book gives only the most basic of overviews for what you need to know for the real GMAT exam. Additionally, the math questions have many, many typos (for instance, they use a '+' instead of an '=' in the question), so it is impossible to know how to answer the questions. I didn't bother carefully reviewing the verbal section, because I was so disappointed with the math. I would recommend this book, only if you need additional practice math problems, and typos don't drive you crazy. I highly recommend the actual book from ETS and Kaplan books (the other 2 I used) for studying for this exam. (Also Elements of Style by Strunk and White may also be useful to you.)

While this book covers many of the same strategies as other books, it is nowhere close to being as complete or as challenging. It also contained several typos. Your time is much better spent with the Kaplan book and CD and GMAC's official prep books- skip this one.

I spent 30 mins in reading part of the verbal section in this book. I regret that I should spend my precious time on somewhere else.

The book just simply gives you the answer to the question without too much explanation for each answer choice. Moreover, the explanations are poorly written and organized.

I have returned the book to the store right away.

I bought this book in preparation for the GMAT exam. While the tips on how to solve some of the quantitative problems are valuable, they can be found in other books. The serious problem with this book is that the practice problems in both the verbal and quantitative sections have numerous errors. You will not learn anything from this book and it causes more harm than good. I returned it to the store (not bought from Amazon) shortly after purchase. You'll do better off sticking with the Kaplan guides or the GMAT Official Guide
