4.0 out of 5 stars
Here's the deal...,
This review is from: KAPLAN GMAT 2000-2001 WITH CD-ROM (Kaplan GMAT Premier Program (w/CD)) (Paperback)
I have used several GMAT books to fully prepare for my big day. The book that accompanies this package is unremarkable. However, I was amazed at the tech quality of the CD ROM: the "virtual instructors" provide the basic facts about the GMAT and its components. The CD is really what you're paying for.The astute GMAT student will take and review all 4 practice tests on the CD. Please note--the Math sections are A LOT tougher than those appearing on real GMAT. Don't be discouraged by poor results on these sections! The Verbal sections are over-simplified. I think they give prospective test-takers a false sense of security on test day. Obtain an English grammar/usage book to supplement the Kaplan materials. Of course, you MUST purchase the Offical GMAT prep-book. ("Ain't nuthin like the real thing bay-bay.") Do the real questions after you've completed the Kaplan tests. You should be peaking at this point. Take the plunge! Finally, I found it helpful to "log" my errors for each section. That's right, a log. Try it--it works. Bonne chance! (relax, no french on the gmat)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good study guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: KAPLAN GMAT 2000-2001 WITH CD-ROM (Kaplan GMAT Premier Program (w/CD)) (Paperback)
I think I would highly recommend this book as one of the study guides that one should actively consider buying as part of one's preparation for the GMAT. The practice tests though hard gives one a good feel for the actual test. I scored pretty miserably in those tests never crossing 560 in any one of them. However, on the real thing, I managed a score in the 90th percentile. The math section of the practice tests in this book is particularly a good representation of what one would see in the actual exam. I would not say that for the verbal section though. Along with this guide I would also strongly recommend the GMAT Verbal workout and Grammar Smart both by The Princeton Review to augment one's preparation in the verbal section. Finally, one should not get misled by the level of questions, that one would see when one would use the official GMAT Powerprep software now provided free by ETS. However, it is useful to go through that to get a feel for the software that one would encounter on the actual test.

Impressed,
By Estelle Lacroix (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KAPLAN GMAT 2000-2001 WITH CD-ROM (Kaplan GMAT Premier Program (w/CD)) (Paperback)
Although the book itself does not differ greatly from the other prep textbooks, the software that comes with it is truly exceptional! Not only does it offer 4 full GMAT practice exams, but it also features virtual instructors that take you through all the strategies of taking the test, the drill questions, math and verbal reviews, and your OWN personalized study plan compiled after you take the diagnostic test. The software even includes a set of games that let you practice your GMAT skills in a fun way. While I do own most of the existing GMAT prep software kits, if I'd have to choose only one of them, I'd pick this one, and go with ETS's Official Guide instead of their Powerprep (same questions, less $ to pay).
