I was in a dilemma when I went out to buy this book. The dilemma was whether to buy this one or the Kaplan premier 2009 but I finally decided to buy this book after some hours of time spend at the near by book store reviewing their indexes and content.

All topics of premier program of Kaplan are covered in this book except the math review which they had touch based in the appendix section . So I can easily conclude that this book is just a similar book as Kaplan premier program book just without a CD-Rom at half price.

As you all know ,Kaplan is a must for GMATtest prep along with the Official Guides so no doubt that one should get this for effective preparation.

The book is really good and has helped me to improve my GMAT score. The only missing information is that this book is similar to the Premium Program 2008 Edition, what is not clear when you buy them. I bought both, but returned this one, because the Premium Program is much better. The content is the same, but it included 2 CD-ROMs with 4 GMAT Prep Tests.

This book does give some useful techniques for preparing for the GMAT but be aware that the questions on the actual GMAT test are a lot harder than the ones in the book or the ones on their test online. I thought the verbal part was pretty similar to the questions in the book, but the quantitative part was quite different. I recommend getting an additional book on the math part of the GMAT.

I looked at several GMAT study aids, and this was the best. The ability to take practice tests online was very important. I would recommend this in conjunction with the free exams that you can download from the GMAT site.

This book is a great resource for beginning to study for the GMAT. There is a fairly good math refresher appendix as well as written explanations for each practice question in the book. There are as many practice questions as can be reasonably expected in this book, but you will likely need to reference another book for additional practice questions. Overall, a great book to get you started.

this book is a really good one to prepare for the GMAT test. you can really improve with it and the really good thing is the code to access Kaplan website in order to follow how well you are improving. You also have many practices and tips for the Test. it's really great.

While the book is so-so, the customer service is non-existent for the companion portion of the Kaplan website. The only way to get help is via e-mail, which would be okay except they don't reply to e-mails. (The phone number is only for people who have paid for online classes.) After sending 3 e-mails over the course of two-weeks asking the same simple question, I've received ZERO RESPONSE. This is completely unnaceptable. I bet Kaplan's competitors do better... they couldn't possibly do worse.

I had ordered the book and selected free shipping. I wish the free shipping had faster delivery. The delivery date was set for about two weeks. I was surprised to receive the book in 10 days. Great service and product.
