I am a foreign student preparing for the GMAT. The answers in this book are not all accurate and that creates a lot of confusion because you will not understand what you did wrong. Also the explanations are not what I would like to get me prepared for the GMAT. I am going to buy the Kaplan and ETS books to study. There is a saying in my country that says

I must have been moving too fast to take much notice of the errors the other reviewers mentioned. I found Arco's GMAT prep book and CD to be a very useful review and preparation for the logic and math on the GMAT.
Not having time for a formal prep course I bought this book, scheduled my GMAT with the testing center, and worked quickly through the book. Having the test scheduled and my money paid was a good way to get myself moving. The book seemed clear and straightforward. There is a lot of review of the questions given in the practice tests. It helped me start to think like the test writers and look for the subtleties in the questions. It did not give me a new brain, and I was not surprised to see my final scores reflect how I have done on other standardized tests.
Get the book, take the test, get back to school. You will be glad you did.

How can this test prep help you learn when there are so many errors? It was a waste of time! I'm shocked at the lack of quality control for this product. It would take too long to explain all the errors I found in just one small section of one test but the grammatical errors were GLARING. I erased it from my computer immediately after taking just that one section because I couldn't trust that any other material would be accurate. Try checking your local library to sample a lot of different test preps if you can. Shame ARCO!
