5.0 out of 5 starsVery Helpful Tips
By A GMAT test-taker on August 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
I found 'Ace the GMAT' to be, by far, the most helpful book of all of the GMAT preparation books I used. While the Kaplan GMAT book and the official GMAT guide published by ETS are both invaluable, I nevertheless found the tips and strategies provided by the 'Ace the GMAT' book to be the most comprehensive, concrete and ultimately helpful. The strategies included to tackle the math section were particularly good, especially the chapter regarding questions on probability. Overall, I do not think that anyone's GMAT prep-book arsenal is complete without this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsEffective GMAT preparation
By Matt on September 29, 2004
Format: Paperback
I think this book is invaluable for someone who's preparing the GMAT. It focus on topics that students need to master to get a reasonably high score in GMAT. This approach is quite differenty from other text where they simply list a series of problems for students to work on. I feel this approach is much more effective in helping students to answer the more difficult questions in GMAT.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell worth the investment.
By Test taker on August 27, 2004
Format: Paperback
Excellent skills-building tool that closed the gap in my preparation for the GMAT, which other prep books weren't doing. The author does a fabulous job of providing the lowdown on the question types that recur on the test and the approaches that actually work, and presenting them in a way that's easy for time-poor test takers to digest. Indispensable in helping this test taker hit the 95th percentile. Absolutely worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe GMAT Miracle
By A Customer on January 21, 2004
Format: Paperback
I found this book to be excellent for sorting problems into groups and learning what common principles are behind related problems. The book has a cool list of ¡°tips¡± imbedded in the solutions section which helped me grasp the common principles behind problem groupings. Even as a liberal arts major and former investment banker, I found a good number of these math and verbal tips simple but not necessarily obvious and enjoyed having them spelled out for me. Examples: Tip #48: ¡°Two rectangular solids my have identical surface areas but different volumes (and vice versa)¡± and Tip #92: ¡°If A is thought to be causing B, the idea that B is causing A is called reverse causation and casts serious doubt on the notion that A is really causing B.¡± The book has a wonderful review of analytical writing and a nice short grammar review in the appendix. This book will teach you how to do problems, and I found it a great complement to the GMAT Official Guide, which has gobs of practice problems but doesn¡¯t deal with how problems work conceptually. In summary, although I was a bit skeptical at first, I thought this book was well deserving of its claim to be ¡°the #1 skill-building GMAT book.¡±

4.0 out of 5 starsGood if you devote the time to it.
By Nebulous Dream on April 29, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
"Ace the GMAT" is a great book in preparation for the Graduate Management Admissions Test. I would recommend getting a head start on studying, as it can take a while to digest all of it. If you're like me and have forgotten all the stuff you learned in high school math, take a month or so and give yourself the time to actually review the material. Make sure you're not wasting your money. Give yourself time to study before the exam.

I subtracted one star due to the fact that there are typos within the book, and they seem to be careless ones. Just be careful to look for those mistakes, as many can be found.

Overall, it is a good product. I did only decent on the exam (fortunately I only had to take it once), but if I had devoted more time to learning the strategies laid out I know I could have done much better. I did very well on the AWA portion, however, and I have to say that the guidelines laid out in that section are a surefire way to receive a 6.

Also, the problems in this book are harder than those in the The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition. They are also more representative of the exam's difficulty. Do not study the Official GMAT book alone and expect to do well. The questions are not as hard, there are limited explanations and you will not score as high. (I used both to study in preparation for my exam in February.)

So, in conclusion:

-Allow yourself time to actually use this book. Results do not occur overnight.
-The AWA portion, if memorized, can allow you to do extremely well in that section.Read more ›
