30 days preparation in 10 daysFebruary 1, 2001 Only had 10 days to prepare when got the book but all went fine and the GMAT score was good. There may be some errors in the book but you should normally be able to spot them if you are actually doing the exercises (as opposed to be learning that for the first time ;-) and just reading it while falling asleep... The structure of the book allows you to start and finish something, instead of having to stop in the middle, which is good and motivating.
Great guide if you don't have a lot of time to studyApril 27, 1999 I had less than a month to prepare for the GMAT. In fact, I spent no more than two weeks studying for the test. If you are like me who don't have a lot of time -I work full time and attend classes full time - I recommend this book. Although the book recommends that the readers spend one day per chapter (and therefore 30 days to prepare for the GMAT), I actually managed to finish reading the chapters and practicing the questions within a week. Their test taking strategies are good. I agree with the reviewer who mentions that there are some errors in the quantitative sections. This is the reason why I am giving it 4 (instead of 5) stars. But the errors didn't frustrate me as it did to the other reviewer, because I found errors in other GMAT guides too. Overall, the book is still an excellent buy. The questions in the book are slightly more difficult than the ones on the actual test. So don't get upset if you don't finish the practice tests within the recommended time.
Good book - Beware of errors!January 31, 1999 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I used this book as a study aid form my GMAT exam. This book is well organized and easy to understand, however the reader should be aware that there are several mistakes that occur in the quantitative section of this book. They range from simplifying fraction errors to improperly stated formulas. These errors create a high level of frustration when studying with this book.
