Geometry GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guide: Sentence Correction) [Paperback]

Manhattan GMAT Prep (Author)

Book Description

Series: Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guide: Sentence Correction | Publication Date: October 30, 2005

Geometry (1 of the 7 books in Manhattan GMAT’s Preparation Guide series) provides a highly organized and structured approach to the variety of questions in this quantitative content area. Students learn every geometric principle, formula, and problem type tested on the GMAT and they master the intricacies of shapes, planes, lines, angles, and objects. The book offers a unique balance between two competing emphases: test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Practice problem-sets build specific foundational skills in each topic and include the most advanced content that many other prep books ignore. As the average GMAT score required to gain admission to top b-schools continues to rise, this guide provides test-takers with the depth and volume of advanced material essential for succeeding on the GMAT’s computer adaptive format. Book also includes online access to 3 full-length Simulated Practice GMAT Exams at Manhattan GMAT’s website.

From the Publisher

Key Features:
*Each of the 7 Guides covers 1 major topic in extensive depth, providing students with many more pages-per-topic than found in all-in-one tomes.
*Cleanly-presented strategies, problems sets, and explanations with sidebars that highlight key concepts; no need to wade through cramped pages in small typeface.
*Single-topic focus of each guide allows the student to purchase only those guides that pertain to his/her weaknesses; also is much easier to carry during studying than all-in-one book.
*Includes bonus chapter on Manhattan GMAT’s unique rephrasing technique for attacking Data Sufficiency--a particularly challenging GMAT question format.

From the Back Cover

What Students Are Saying: "The 7 Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides are excellent. They cover tons of great strategies and tips for taking the exam, and they avoid irrelevant information. I like that each guide provides its own questions and analysis, outside of official GMAT problems." "The guides are excellent in explaining what is actually tested on the GMAT. The strategies used to handle each specific area were excellent and very practical. The materials addressed things in very fine detail."

5.0 out of 5 stars A good refresher, December 15, 2007

Quantitative section on the GMAT can be a little tricky, even if you were pretty good at Math in your high school or in college. Why? Because the skills tested on the GMAT are different than the one you acquired in high school or college.

For example, the data sufficiency section is not a straightforward problem solving section and requires some targeted practice before you take the real thing.

I am an engineering major and I took multiple advanced Math courses in my college and yet, I benefited from the Manhattan Review quantitative books. So even if you think that you know everything that there is to know about the Geometry knowledge tested on the GMAT, it doesn't hurt to review some concepts and practice some additional questions. Like I said, it helped me a lot.

Of course, like with everything else on the GMAT, you need to practice a lot so you will benefit from this book only if you have sufficient time to practice. If your GMAT is in a week's time, this book is probably not for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you can count from 1 to 10.... this book is not for you, September 3, 2006

I have an engineering background and I strongly suggest others with a similar one or even more better some basic high school math knowledge not to buy this book. I could complete this book and all of its 'exercises' in an hour. All it does is repeats very basic math knowledge which I bet you will not forget even after 50 years from now. All in all bad book for GMAT Geometry preparation. Now I have look for ways to sell this book which I bought two days ago... any buyers? not a scratch on the paper and is all in mint condition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick shipping..books in good condition, June 22, 2010
