Rating: Summary: included software is terrible Review: I have quite a few complaints about this book.1) The CD is an exact copy of the text of the book. I am not quite sure what the point of the book is now that I have the CD. 2) The software doesnt give you a score on your practice tests! Even the free software that is available from GMAT.com will score your practice test! This software also will not score your essay, you are supposed to have a friend score it for you. (Again, the free software at GMAT.com will score it for you). 3) When "reading the book" from the CD, the format is awful. For example, the math review section is 97 pages long. The controls are "Forward" and "Back". If you dont read it all in one sitting, you have to click "Next" until you get to where you stopped. My advice: Buy another book, and download the free software from GMAT.com.
Rating: Summary: In combination with Official Review GMAT book, not that bad Review: I recently started the study for the GMAT and initially I bought the GMAT review book from Barron's, 12th edition. Even though the passages are sometimes too long and too outdated, the review sections of each type of question I have found very helpfull. Together with the Official Review GMAT book I believe I will have a good change to succeed in the test. Also, I just got some software exercises which really should help me master the test.
Rating: Summary: Very bad Review: This book really wastes money because its stuff is outdated and biased. You will find this book can not improve your scores on actual GMAT test if you are studying GMAT through this book. In verbal section, SC and RC are very poor because they have dissimilar with actual test. Really, not buy this book.
