DESCRIPTION:
An Average book for the Average GMAT Test-Takernot for students trying to score 650-plus. Brian R. McElroy I am a Harvard grad (class of 02'), professional GMAT tutor and 99% GMAT scorer. I know this complex, intricate test inside-out, but at the same time, I'm always learning, which is why it continues to fascinate me.As I expected when I ordered it, this book is just OK; I would recommend it for basic strategies and low/average GMAT scorers only. Unfortunately, the shiny gold writing on the cover is the most impressive thing about it. Any attempt to write an "all in one" guide to a test as complex as the GMAT is destined to be at least . Get something else. still I have used a much earlier edition of this book for my prep and comparing to this edition there are hardly any changes, which is sad.I did not end up using Princeton Review for my GMAT Prep. I spent about a month on this book (on and off) and having seen no improvement, switched to Kaplan guides instead and was able to score 750 with those. I felt the book was OK; it explained how the GMAT works and logic behind the test, etc but after that it started to fall apart. I had a few issues with the strategies and expectations this book se. A Tough Book for a Tough Exam Getting your MBA is kind of a big deal so I bought this book in addition to the official one. They're both very similar, but compared to the one the "cracking the gmat" guide is more about strategy and subject matter. The official GMAT guide has ALOT of practice problems but most of the space in the book (by far) is taken up by the worked out solutions that are included. The se are worth their weight in gold and they're unbelievably awesome to have but they do take up a ton of room.The Cracking the GMAT guide spends more time talking
