Amazon.com Review

You know you need to score high on your GMAT to get into a top business program. Don't panic. Kaplan GMAT CAT takes the attitude that the GMAT should be viewed like any other part of your business-school application--an opportunity to show schools who you are and what you're capable of. As the authors point out, "If you can take control of your GMAT experience, you can take full advantage of that opportunity." This book can help you take control, with its useful advice on everything from managing stress to using your scratch paper strategically. Both the verbal and the quantitative sections of the test are given in-depth coverage, with an overview of each section followed by chapters devoted to each of the different types of questions--chapters that provide both step-by-step methods for solving the questions and practice quizzes to give you some experience at answering them. Principles for succeeding on the two types of essays in the analytical-writing assessment round out the coaching section. The enclosed CD-ROM features additional lessons, games, a diagnostic test, and simulated GMAT CAT practice tests. Another practice test, with detailed explanations of the correct answers, is included in the book. Helpful appendices on GMAT math you'll need to know and information on where, when, and how to apply to business school make Kaplan GMAT CAT an excellent resource for anyone considering pursuing an MBA. --C.B. Delaney

5.0 out of 5 stars GMAT in the rush, 3 days to prepare: Kaplan's book ->740/800, February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN GMAT CAT 1998 WITH CD- ROM (Paperback)

I had to take the GMAT to apply for a business school, but only 3 days to prepare it. I am not even a native speaker. I read the book, and did the problems. Contrary to other CDs, the tests on this CD are even a little bit harder than during the real GMAT CAT. My advice is: use everything they say, this is the optimal strategy. If I did it, you can do it too. I am sure you could even do better, if you take the time to practice the way they say. -Frederic-

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Test Prep, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN GMAT CAT 1998 WITH CD- ROM (Paperback)

The best thing about Kaplan's materials is that they are tougher than the real thing. Rather than getting a false sense of security entering the test, scoring low on the Kaplan tests will make you want to study harder to prepare for the real thing. We wouldn't recommend using just the Kaplan materials. Pick up the Official Guide to the GMAT to augment your studying. However, buying this book will put you on the right track to a stellar GMAT score.

4.0 out of 5 stars seems to be the best test prep material around, September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN GMAT CAT 1998 WITH CD- ROM (Paperback)

i never really read the book but the cd-rom was a very good compilation. the maths section was a little easy and their lessons were very basic but the reading comprehension and the critical reasoning sections were very helpful.the sentence correction section could have been more difficult though.Finally the tests were more difficult than they usually are in the gmat but they could have included a few more tests in the cd-rom format.Overall it is a software worth recommending to anyone sitting for the gmat,certainly one of the best, if not the best testprep material around.
