2.0 out of 5 stars
Not useful if targeting a 700+ score,

This review is from: Verbal Workout for the GMAT, 2nd Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I recently, completed reading this book.
This book's decent reviews attracted me as I required some extra practice. But after reading the book I am surprised why people have given good reviews to the book. Here is my take: Positive: 1. The book is OK for beginners who need guidance on very basics. 2. I can't think of anything else good about this book. Negatives: 1. The book has very few sample questions 2. The introduction to each section is useful for very beginners. Anyone who has read kaplan or OG would not find the theory interesting. 3. The most important: The answer choices in critical reasoning/reading comprehension not similar to actual test. Some of the explanations are actually silly and it's hard to agree with the book at several places. I would not recommend this book to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Verbal Workout for the GMAT, 2nd Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
Verbal was all I needed to focus on for the GMAT. Rather than spending $$ on taking a class, I just bought this book and read it cover to cover. The result: my berbal percentile went from 58% to 93%. No joke!

Solid strategy for the verbal section,
By Executive English Solutions "EES Chile" (Santiago, Chile) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Verbal Workout for the GMAT, 2nd Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I have been a GMAT tutor to ESL test takers for over 6 years and I have to say that the PR strategies are by far the most useful for students who don't speak English as their first language and need to focus their efforts on the score raising essentials. IMHO the main weakness of this book is its lack of isolated concept drills to drive home each strategy.
