Published by the Educational Testing Service and the Graduate Management Admission Council (the organizations that administer the GMAT), this book is an excellent guide to the kinds of questions likely to appear on your exam--because they've appeared on exams already. The book begins with an overview of the exam itself, brief descriptions of the different types of questions, and a list of skills that each question type is designed to measure. A very thorough review of the math skills you'll need for the exam is followed by chapters on problem solving and data sufficiency, as well as individual chapters on the three types of verbal questions. Each of these chapters includes strategies for doing well on the exam, hundreds of sample questions, and explanatory material for all the questions. The chapter on the analytical-writing-assessment (a.k.a. "essay") portion of the exam includes all 180 possible questions as well as guides to the standards used in judging your responses. This book is not intended to provide "shortcuts" or "tricks to fool the ETS"--many others on the market can do that for you. It does, however, provide hundreds of actual GMAT questions. As a result, The Official Guide for GMAT Review is an excellent supplementary tool if you're serious about preparing for this major exam. --C.B.

 Rating:  - Gmat book not what I expectedBook was an old addition - 2000. No indication that I was being shipped an old addition. Rating:  - Forget othersIn my opinion this book will be the only one to worth its price. This book is "must" for every exam takers.It reflects all the material that you are responsible for. For that reason forget about all the other books such as Kaplan, Barrons, Princeton etc.These books are a piece of ... and you don't have to use them. Because you should think that ETS is aware of these books' strategies and questions. In sum, there is no alternative for this book. Rating: - The most important book to buy, but still *NOT* enough!In a word, this is a great book! We use this book as the basis for our GMAT preparation--we require all of our students to do all of the exercises in this book before they take the test. This book has LOTS of practice authentic practice questions. There is no substitute for official GMAT questions--the questions in the practice books are just not the same. Many of the practice books have mistakes and address topics that are not really related to what you will see on the ...

There is absolutely *no* substitute for official GMAT questions, and this book has them. You will get a pretty good sampling of the kinds of questions that ETS has prepared for you to take the GMAT. The big problem, however, is that this book is now getting old and ETS spends a lot of money updating their tests almost every day. In other words, this text is becoming outdated.

While Princeton Review and Kaplan are great for re-learning your math, they can only approximate the questions on the GMAT, and they can be confusing. This course is excellent because it ggives you real questions. This prepares you mentally for the GMAT, and is an excellent tool for your last week of studying. Also, becuase ... Read More
