This book is just a copy of one part of "The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition". If you buy that then you shouldn't be buying this book. It is just a waste of money.

"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 you need more than just a bank of questions, you need to look at some other source.

Kaplan:
Pros - Good for additional practice questions as a supplement
Cons - Review of math content is not thorough but just the very basics. Not enough explanation of test taking strategies. Full of guessing techniques with no real mathematical solutions. Not good enough explanations of practice questions. Unrealistic questions.

Princeton:
Pros - Good for additional practice questions as a supplement
Cons - Review of math content is not thorough but just the very basics. Not enough explanation of test taking strategies. Full of guessing techniques with no real mathematical solutions. Not good enough explanations of practice questions. Weird sense of humor.

Barrons:
Pros - Good math review. Big list of questions. Good test taking strategies. Very well organized. This is by far the best of the all-in-one kinds of books.
Cons - Although the book has a good math review, it doesn't go deep enough into each concept. Not enough explanations to practice questions. Does not have a good section for logical reasoning (permutation, combination, probability, etc) questions, which is one of the most important question-type. Does not break down the concepts/questions step by step.

EZ Solutions (set of 9 books):
Pros - Thorough math review from A to Z. Effective test taking strategies. Abundant solved examples. Numerous practice exercises. Great practice question bank in basic and advanced workbooks.
As with most books, you are expected to already have a good knowledge about the various match concepts, but with these books, you can literally start from scratch and reach the most advanced level of the GMAT.
Cons - To get the best result from these books, you have to invest in buying several books (set of 9 books), but if you compare the cost and benefits, the benefits outweigh the cost, or you can buy a few not all. Missing the verbal section. This is not a good option if you are looking for a mediocre score or just looking for a very basic brush-up. Recommended for serious test takers only.

Some of the other books has no real content; whereas, there are some other books that I haven't yet had an opportunity to review, but may be some of them are good supplementary aids.

I hope my review will help some of you in making the right decision.


"GMAT"
I received this book very quickly and was able to raise my score 200 pts.

"Definitely a great study aid"
Received the product quickly and in reasonably good shape (no thank to the USPS)
I also have the the bigger GMAT study guide. The combination has really helped me to get in the groove of what type of questions I can expect.
If you have test anxiety, don't do the guide!! Take the class. This will only help you if you just need the exposure to test questions. If you freak out at tests, take the class so you get the total experience.

"good"
but i do not encounter any problems from this book in the test at all.

What our customer's say!

"A must have!", I couldn't have prepped for the GMAT without this guide. It is a "must have" for anyone who actually wants to study for the GMAT with real GMAT questions. Kaplan's questions are too hard, Barron's are just bizarre - you can rely on these questions.

"not a must have but good for practice", most of the stuff in this book is already in the GMAT official guide(OG 11) except the practice problems. buy this book if you want more math practice...it has good amount of practice problems: Problem Solving(176), Data Sufficiency(118)
and these problems are different from the ones in OG 11.

"Excellent Preparation Book for the GMAT", It has been seven years since I have been out of college. My math skills are very rusty. The Quanative Review is the best book to get because it is written by the GMAT Staff. Each question comes with an explanation of how the problem is solved. The book is broken down into sections with complete explanations.

I am not good at math at all and there are over 300 problems to solve from basic arthimatic, algebra, geometry, and Data Sufficienty. all have multiple choice answers and at the end of each section.

The book is much cheaper than getting it through the mba.

I also recommend the GMAT Verbal Review as well

"Helpfull for GMAT excercies", This book is a must if you are about to take the GMAT and need lots of practice on Math it contains a lot of good exercies and how to solve them...

"GMAT Books you must have!", I have been studying for GMAT for a few weeks now and I think the OG is a great source for a good practice on real GMAT questions. But having said that, use the OG only once you grasp all the basics and when you are almost ready to take the GMAT. The OG does not contain any math conceptual content, so use it only for practice towards the end.

In order to get a real GMAT prep - I would recommend you buy the set of 9 books of "EZ Solutions," or whichever book(s) you think you need most help with. These books are very detailed oriented and cover everything on the GMAT math. First use the review modules to get the concepts and then use the workbooks for practice. Some of the most challenging topics in GMAT math, such as permutation/combination, probability, geometry problems, complex word problems, etc., are brilliantly explained in these books. Also, the EZ Advanced Workbook is a "must have" if you are aiming for a high score. It may be a good idea to buy Barron's without the CD (don't waste money on the CD version for any book). After doing all this, use the OG and you will see a dramatic difference in your scores. If you still need more practice, you may consider buying the Kaplan book (but really not needed). Save your money by not buying anything else. You don't even have to take any of those pricy courses. I followed this process and my scores have jumped from the 500-range to the 700-range. Good luck!

"Just practice nothing else", The questions I thought were really basic atleast the first 100. There are only a few tricky ones. It might give a false sense of expertise in GMAT math. But if you are looking for just practice it gives the range of questions.

"Excellent practice", While I did not compare this with other guide books, as some reviewers have, I did use it to prepare for the GMAT. There are tons of questions, their answers and explanations for the answers. There is also a good section on how to approach the analytical writing section of the GMAT. This book complements the Official guide 11th edition.

If I were to have to take the GMAT again, I would buy this book again.

I scored 90% Overall.

"Great book", You should definitely make this a part of your study plan. The book was extremely helpful to me. I found it to be an excellent refresher. The explanations in the answers were great.

"I found this to be VERY helpful", While I did not compare this with other guide books, like some reviewers have, I did use it to prepare for the GMAT. There are hundreds of sample problems and the solutions and HOW the solution was arrived at.

When I took the exam, there were no problems that were in a format I had not seen. Naturally, they were different, but the TYPES of problems had all been explained in the book.

If - for some insane reason - I were to have to take the GMAT again, I would buy this book again.

PS: I scored 90% on the quantitative (woohoo!)

"Could Have Been Better", The questions in this book are definitely A LOT easier than their counterparts from the Official Guide for GMAT Review. Nevertheless, I was still surprised when I got a total of 10 wrong answers. This book by itself is not enough for GMAT study, but it is great for warming up before working on the questions in the official guide.
