3.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to GMAT and some practice but not a study guide, September 19, 2010
This review is from: Kaplan Portable GMAT (Kindle Edition)
Kaplan portable GMAT

Good intro to GMAT and some practice but not a study guide
This book is only available in electronic format and it looks like it was specifically designed for portable devices. The best description I can give it, is a collection of basic GMAT information follow the by specific strategies for each section and the few practice questions

Strengths:
- short chapters work very well with portable format
- good coverage of the test mechanics
- overview of many popular and effective strategies to be used in the GMAT such as back solving, strategy for critical reasoning, and reading comprehension strategy
- each section is followed by a short quiz (5 to 10 questions)
- inexpensive
- Good book to use as a big picture refresher, possibly something to use the last 2 weeks before the test

Weaknesses:
- Lacks background information for math and verbal (no formulas, grammar rules, etc)
- Few practice questions
- No practice tests
- Not clear how to best use this book in conjunction with other Kaplan books

Bottom line: helpful mobile guide to introduce one to the GMAT and provide an overview of GMAT strategies. However if you lack math or verbal skills you won't get very far on strategies alone. If you are already familiar with the GMAT, this book will be of little value.


Top 6 Mistakes People Make on the GMAT:
1: Rushing to take tests before learning basics
2: Starting with the Official Guide instead of a guidebook/textbook
3: Giving GMAT the worst quality time of the day - studying after a long day
4: Skipping basics and rushing to advanced topics
5: Starting to prepare with poor English proficiency
6: Not following strategies exactly or cutting corners


Good Luck on the GMAT!

If you know that the previous question you answered was a blind guess, spend a little extra time trying to get the next one right. &quote;

&quote;
At the end of the section, you are penalized more heavily for not getting to a question at all than for answering it wrong. So if you have only a minute or two left and several questions remain, guess at random. Do not leave anything unanswered. &quote;
