Book Reviews of The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition

Book Review: Cornerstone for anyone's GMAT prep
Summary: 5 Stars

Most people will not need to purchase several GMAT books at $30+ each to succeed. Nevertheless, I believe that many people would benefit from having other books that focus more on skills and strategies to complement this one. My most important point is this: other books will no doubt be useful in some way; however, this one is a MUST, it is the "cornerstone" for further preparation.

One thing to note about this book: it will NOT teach you the fundamentals of math or correct grammar or critical reading, etc. It is more accurate to think of this book as a collection of practice questions which assume you already have those skills. In other words, if you need to brush up on these things, get out the old math textbooks from college and the old grammar and syntax books from high school.

Another thing about this book: It keeps the test's "goals" in perspective. Though many of its questions are difficult, the GMAT is not filled with impenetrable journal passages or advanced calculus; the test is trying to determine your grasp of the fundamentals of math, numbers, logic, and communication. Spending serious time with this book helped me think the way the test "thinks".

Finally, download the free Test Prep software from www.mba.com. The software is formatted EXACTLY like the test, and it was invaluable in my preparation. The practice software was a bit easier than the real thing, so keep that in mind. For example, Practice Test 1 I got a 700, Practice Test 2 730, and Practice Test 1 again (reinstalled) 710.

My score: 700 Analytical-45 Verbal-40

Good luck!
