1.0 out of 5 stars This book is junk, July 26, 2008

This review is from: McGraw-Hill's GMAT, 2008 Edition (Paperback)

My first review as well. I reviewed the whole book (chump that I am). Sure there are a lot of errors in the practice problems and the verbal test questions didn't make much sense, but I thought the tips were okay.

Then I reviewed a couple of other books like The Princeton Review and they blew this thing away. A total waste of time. I was hoping at least the practice tests would be helpful, but after researching more, practicing on poorly written questions is more hindrance than help.

It supposedly prepares you for the difficult questions, but sends you only with a loin cloth into battle. This is a shoddy attempt at GMAT prep.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible book!, July 17, 2007

I have never bothered to write a review before, but this book is so bad that I have to stop others from purchasing it. I have gone through most of the math section and have found many errors in their practice problems and solutions. Didn't anyone bother to edit this book? I have a Chemical Engineering degree and used to tutor Calculus. The book was purchased just as a brush up for the GMAT. Save your money and try another review book!

I too have never written a review but after using this book for 2 hours I realized it is worthless. Do not buy this book.
