• Honest Review of GMAT Books!
  After going through all the GMAT books, here is my honest opinion about some of the most popular GMAT books:
  Official Guide:
  Pros - Excellent source of GMAT questions. Very well organized with real test like questions.
  Cons - No review of any math content or test-taking strategies. Not enough explanations of practice questions.
  Overall, the Official Guide is a must have for all test-takers. It will give you a good idea about the type of questions to expect on the GMAT; however, if... more info

• Not of much help to those who are already in 650-700 range
  Maybe I'm not getting something, but I would call this book GMAT 650-700. I've got 690 on my first on-line trial test simulation (from Manhattan GMAT) and I thought this book would be a helpful guide to close my "gaps".

• SAVE YOUR MONEY
  The exercises are OK to improve your score. I went from mid 600s to lower 700s after working on the 2006 GMAT 800. And that is exactly why I think this book is not worth it. I went to the store to buy the latest edition of GMAT 800 and to my surprise I realized that 90% of the questions were the same as in the 2006 edition. I think it's morally wrong to sell a new edition of these types of books that it is esentially the same as previous versions.

• Good for final review
  I used this book the day before I took the GMAT just to gain some extra insight on the areas that I had the most errors on the practice tests. I was scoring about 600 - 650 on the practice tests but got a 710 on the actual exam. I found the explanations to be more helpful in this book than the official GMAT book and I believe that if I had spent more with this book I would have scored higher on the exam.
