1.0 out of 5 stars Its not very useful if the software doesn't work, August 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Kaplan Higher Score GRE, GMAT & LSAT Deluxe 2003 (CD-ROM)

I have only used the GMAT portion of this product, so that is all I can speak about. The software has so many problems that it is difficult to get anything meaningful out of it. I'm not a genius, but I am an electrical engineer and usually do pretty good with computers. During tests, the window will sometimes move partially off the screen so that you can't see the whole question, and will not move back. The reading comprehension sections omit words and sentances. In the math section, pictures and symbols will be distorted so that you cannot read them. Worst off, I spent 3 1/2 hours taking a full length practice GMAT, but when I went to review the answers, due to some glitch the program would only let me look at the first question. Its hard to learn when you can't see what you've done right and wrong. I did, by the way, load this program on two different computers, so I don't think my system is causing the problems. Oh, and if the companion palm software is a big point for you (as it was for me), don't be fooled. It consists of one hundered math problems, many of which give the wrong answer (yes - I checked my math with others to make sure I wasn't wrong - in fact, the frequency of wrong answers became a bit of a joke among my coworkers who were all trying to study on work time). All in all, it is difficult to learn anything when the software doesn't work half the time, and when it does you can't be sure about the correctness of the answers. I've had better luck with the Princton Review book and software, though they tend to dumb down the material a bit, and their online services aren't nearly as useful as they claim when you buy the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ripped off ...!, August 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Kaplan Higher Score GRE, GMAT & LSAT Deluxe 2003 (CD-ROM)

I also own the 2002 version. I planned on taking the GMAT several months ago but, due to recent world events, I had to deploy overseas just before my test date. Now that I've been out of "study-mode" for 8 months, I thought Kaplan's latest version would be a good way to build upon the 2002 version.

WRONG!

At least for the GMAT portion of this package, the introductory test and lessons are no different than the ones on the 2002 version. I don't know if the GRE or LSAT tests are different, but the GMAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME!

Save yourself ... and buy the 2002 version- it's worth 5-stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars It could have been a good product, April 15, 2006

If it was designed better. First, during lessons, there is this annoying voice over talking all the time. You cannot concentrate on reading. Then, the program is trying to be... funny. What for? GMAT is not a comedy. I want to study not laugh. Next - the lessons are designed very badly. You really cannot learn from them at all.

There is a room on the market for a good GMAT software, hopefully someone will make it. This is not it, thats for sure.
