I got 99th percentile on my GMAT 750(49, 42) and i used 3 books: this one, Kaplan's Premier Book, and the Verbal Workbook. I had access to PR book and GMAT Prep, but I did only tests from those. I found Kaplan's materials of quality and difficulty. Some whine that Kaplan is too hard, but that's good - if you can handle Kaplan, you can handle the GMAT. Please see the section at the very bottom of the review - I have included a list of my favorite problems from this book - those are the most fun!~~~ PROS: ~~~- Condensed math concept review - straight to the point- No smart-aleck advice about some stupid tricks - only math review - exactly what I needed- Solid problems that illustrate a lot of traps and multiple ways of solving them- Starts with the basics - arithmetic, integers, primes, etc - the stuff that anybody can uses a review of. A lot of applicants underestimate how much they forgot the basics and skim/skip them. I would not do that, and that book does not either.- Finally, the number of questions and quizzes in this book is impressive. I am giving a short summary of some of the sections of the book and number of quizzes and test questions. Quiz questions are math only; Test questions are GMAT-type questions.~~~ CONS: ~~~- No probability or combinations review, which would be very helpful. Get something. I bombed my probability question on the GMAT.- I went through this book at least 3 times (helping others) and I found that solutions don't include some of the most genius ways to handle the problems. I think the authors of the questions went beyond themselves.- Errors (even though this is the 6th edition and it barely changed compared to the 1st and 2nd, there are a few typos and just careless errors - it's a shame)- Not as thorough as the MGMAT guides (those cover more topics in-depth and perhpas a wider area). Also, if you are rusty with math (really rusty), you may want to get the Kaplan Math Foundations or Foundations of GMAT Math by Manhattan GMAT.--- PREVIOUS EDITION ---The changes in the 9th 2015 edition are very minor and you can easily purchase the previous editions (including 8th, and 7th) if the books are cheap enough (often for a fraction of the cost). The books are 99.9% the same with several problematic questions replaced (a few of the advanced questions)Arithmetic-Number operations (15 quiz questions and 15 test questions)-Number properties (15, 19)-Averages (10, 19)-Ratios (10, 24)-Percents (25, 25)-Powers and Roots (12, 17)Algebra-Level One (20, 26)-Level Two (15, 15)Word Problems-Level One (10, 26)-Level Two (37)-Test (40)Geometry-Lines (6, 14)-Triangles (16, 21)-Quadrilaterals (15, 19)-Circles (19, 13)-Multiple Figures (4, 15)-Solids (6, 8)Data Sufficiency-Test 1 (25)-Test 2 (25)~~~ HARD & INTERESTING QUESTIONS ~~~Also, here is the list of the Most Interesting GMAT questions from this book (some are hard and others require an unusual approach) - make sure you can answer every one of them and know how to solve them by heart:Number properties test: 8, 13, 14, 17, 19Averages test: 4, 6Ratios: 22Percents: 4, 7, 8, 22Powers and Roots: 5, 12Algebra test 2: 2, 6Basic Word Problem Exercise (p. 131): 6, 8, 9Word Problems Test 1: 4, 19, 24Percents, Ratios, and Rates: 34General WP Test: 31, 35, 40GeometryTriangles Exercise: 7, 11Triangles Test: 2, 15, 18Quadraliterals and other polygons: 14, 16, 17Circles: 2, 5, 10Multiple Figures: 2, 6, 9, 14Solids: 5DS1: 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24DS2: 3, 7, 9, 10, 15, 21, 23, 24~~~ WHY ONLY 4 STARS? ~~~1. No significant updates over the years. This book has remained virtually unchanged since the second edition (for the last 8 years). You are welcome to purchase any of the previous editions to have the same effect.2. It is a good/great book but there are now other great books out there (MGMAT Guides, Veritas Prep Guides) that give this book a run for its moneyFinally, please make sure you have a copy of the Official Guide for the GMAT (OG) - if you have not discovered it, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy as it is published by GMAC and contains 900 official GMAT Questions.Let me know if you have any questions - I reply to comments!Good Luck on the GMATBB, GMAT 750 (q49, v42)
Explanations of the math concepts are not bad, but they're not great either. This received 4 stars becauseof the practice problems, and the breadth of material.
Good review material
Good GMAT book.
