While that may seem daunting, the test is challenging for a reason, and if you want to get into the top business schools, you'll need to excel in a very competitive field. If you're willing to work hard, the GMAT Prep Course will show you the ropes and get you to score your best. Its refreshing, no-nonsense style reflects the authors' insistence that it is hard work, not tricks or insider knowledge, that brings success. An orientation chapter sets the scene and guides you through the basics of what you'll find inside: overviews of each test section (including the essays) with lots of sample questions and in-depth analyses of correct and incorrect answers. No frills here, just lots of practice and some general help with the types of questions you should expect, such as analogies and data sufficiency. While some readers might miss the flashy design or eye-catching logos of the competitors, the authors maintain that attention and diligence are all that's needed to beat the GMAT. If you're up to the challenge, get the GMAT Prep Course and start burning the midnight oil. --Rob Lightner Product Description: Comprehensive preparation for the GMAT Every year students pay $1,000 and more to test prep companies to prepare for the GMAT .

 Rating:  - Excellent resource for math foundationIf you have been away from academia for awhile, this book is an excellent resource for math review. Nova really breaks it down with excellent explanations, examples, and practice problems. Here's what you will learn in the math section: Substitution Math Notes Defined Functions Number Theory Geometry Coordinate Geometry Elimination Strategies Inequalities Fractions & Decimals Equations Averages Ratio & Proportion Read More Rating:  - GarbageI read some other reviews stating this book helped you. I don't know how you managed that, but cheers. There are more errors in this book than I have ever seen in a professionally published work. The answer descriptions are weak at best, and their relations to the questions asked are awkward and obscure. I made a special note to review this to warn off anyone considering the purchase. Stay away. Rating: - Bleah softwarePerhaps the book itself is a nice enough book on preparing for the GMAT, but the software on the CD accompanying this book has to be the worst ever designed for testing. And the online course (while looking slick) is pretty much a rehash of the CD. An example that I have given below is pretty much symptomatic of the software design. While doing one of the full-length tests, in the verbal section, I was answering the first reading comprehension section. After I spent about 2 minutes reading ...

This book is the best at math subject. I also liked the reading comprehension explaination much better than Kaplan. Rating: - Worst bookWhen I read reviews before purchasing this book, I was encouraged to buy it. But after reading it, I felt that first few sections are good and it looked that I was getting all answers correct but problems given are really too simple and not to the standard of GMAT. I wasted my time in reading this book. I wish I had not purchased this book. I read official guide combined with Kaplan and Princiton which helped me a lot. Now I am in doing MBA at Harvard.
