The secret for the GMAT is practice and stamina.

For my own preparation, I used The Princeton Review, Kaplan's Book and ETS' The Official Guide for GMAT Review.

I will go through the advantages and disadvantages of each,...

Not enough explanation to carry over into real time test taking.

This is supposed to be the response from ETS to the kaplan method. It is interesting because it brings a shaddy comparison of miths and facts about the GMAT but it does not tell you how your answers affect your score, it seems to keep things...

This is an excellent book with the real GMAT questions. It explains all the questions and answers and also explain why a particular answer is correct. Till now, this is the best GMAT practice book I've seen. Anyone preparing for GMAT needs to have...

This book contains exactly the same material contained in the verbal section of the complete version of the Official Guide for GMAT Review (by the way I've checked only the reading comp section). So don't buy this book if you already have the...

Since the Gmat test is manage for other people, the exercises are different. This book is a good tool to start the work. Much of the exercises in this book already are in the 10th and 11th edition of Official Guide for GMAT Review from ETS.

The questions I thought were really basic atleast the first 100. There are only a few tricky ones. It might give a false sense of expertise in GMAT math. But if you are looking for just practice it gives the range of questions.

This book is slimmer than the orange Official Guide, weighing in at about 300 problems, but if you need more math practice, it's a great resource. One caveat: the average difficulty level of questions in this book is somewhat lower than that of...

This book really explains what it takes to be a great manager. It provides insights into why we have gotten so far from how people (not just "corporate execs") want and need to be treated. I learned a great deal for myself as a manager, a...

Save your money. Although there was some good information in here, I felt like I had to search long and far to find it. Many BORING details as to how the data was compiled. This book could have been something better if the authors had just...

It's fact-filled and timely, yet it doesn't get to the heart of why leaders are successful. It's a great complementary book to your library, but I suggest getting a more practical book that may help you at work. I suggest a book I also ordered...

Wow, talk about an insult to intelligence. When you read this book you say "Duh" as you read it. The online quizes coulde be helpful, but using a character called "Answer Man" makes you feel like you are in first grade. If you really feel you...

This textbook is expensive. I think the price is absurd.

However, the information contained is worthwhile. Guffey could have condensed a lot of material.

Things that work in the book's favor are the checklists at the end...

This is a simple yet intriguing tale that pinpoints the real issues with meetings. I've been to so many bad meetings, and I can't wait to implement the concepts from this book in my organization. Well done!

Meetings are a problem, but Patrick could have used the analogies from 5 Temptations or Obsessions. The story and model are stretched thin and lack the umph of his earlier works.

The title is provocative and will probably sell books. The parable of a software game firm in Monterey struggling with ineffective meetings makes for a reasonably readable, well-scripted (except for "our data is inconclusive." p. 184) and...

Haven't taken the GMAT yet, but I have been studying hardcore. This book is the starting point for use with "The Official Guide to the GMAT Review." Use this book before you use that one.

This Textbook was in excellent condition and is very helpful in my business law class. I really was happy with the speed in which the book arrived at my door step.

The Business Law w/UCC App (Cram 101) was not what I had expected. Having had a previous class with a study guide book, this previous book included further questions reviewing the chapters content, thus being very helpful to prepare for testing....

This study guide was not as thorough as I thought it would be. Yet, it helped me get through the tough essay questions on the exam.

This book is written in a real-world, down to earth style. It's got no fluff, no theories- just good, hard easily learnable information about crafting highly effective sales letters that suck in the cash. This book is a must for any/everyone in...
