Unfortunately, I had to take the GMAT a second time because my score was not high enough for my grad school. The first book I had used was by Kaplan, the advisor had recommended it. I thought I was well prepared and was not. Then my friend told my about this book and I did everything in it. I took the test two days ago and my score went up 130 points! I recommend this book to everyone! Get this one the first time so you don't have to take the test again!

I had already given the GMAT TestPrep online test and was looking for some more tests. Hence I picked up this book and gave the 3 online tests which come on the included CDi. I found these tests excellent .My final score on Gmat matched the score that I got on the last Arco CD test . (620,730,690)


The only reason I did not give 5 is because I did not use the theory of Arco much.For reading/revision of theory and simple strategy, I found that Princeton review book is excellent.And for practice questions , official Gmat book is a good resource.

PS: I posted this review by mistake to 2006.I don't know the difference between the two but the CD tests I gave were for 2007 edition.

I found the book very helpful in my studies. I did not like that the level of difficulty was not indicated on the text problems. I would like to have known the area where I missed problems or the type of problems missed on the dvd exams. Overall, it had more than enough sample tests.

Just to warn you guys that the CD's does not work very well. I have tried to make it work many times and I still can't make the sample test to work. The software does provide a number to call, when the software dies with Internal Error. When I called the number they did not have the product in their database and needed a ISBN number off the CD, not the Book, and there is no ISBN number on the CD. Finally, the support person was able to get hold of one "Master the GMAT" title; from 2001 edition! I had bought the book for the stimulated tests and it doesn't work.
