1.0 out of 5 stars error prone., November 4, 2007

By	E. Wang - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this book has a noticable number of errors in its print and also with the software. the software crashes at the end of a section when you take the timed test. it also does not properly align responses with the essay part of the test (meaning, the questions don't always match the answers that you wrote - which makes me skeptical about the underlying logic in the application code).
the tests on the CD also show repeated questions within the same test. i find that to skew your results.

the point is, stay away from this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Are you kidding me?!?, October 10, 2008

By	Benjamin Lee "Ben" - See all my reviews

This guide could seriously ruin your GMAT score. I am only a quarter of the way through and I have found four GLARING errors in their practice questions. For example, on page 91, it asks for the reader to find the equation of a downward sloping line. The answer they give however, states that the slope is a positive number (it should be negative). This is a VERY BASIC error that should not make it into any published book, let alone one that students use to improve their understanding of math and their GMAT test scores. Avoid this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete Waste, March 31, 2008

By	JWA "JWA" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

I will second the concerns of the other postings. This guide is a complete waste. I have just finished my third practice test only to have it crash (for the third time) at the end of section and lose my answers. The review in this book is poor and the practice tests mediocre. That's if you can get them to work!
