Great Review/Practice Books July 25, 2008
Jenny
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought the series of EZ Solutions for the GMAT and found them to be very helpful. After going through GMAT books from Kaplan, Princeton Review, and others, I needed something more in-depth to tackle all type of questions. The EZ books cover a broad spectrum of content and practice questions with detailed explanations. These are great books for those who are seeking to perfect their score or need something more than just the basic review provided in regular study guides. They are also a good review for those who have been out of school for a while and need to refresh their math skills to score higher on the GMAT . The EZ books are very detailed and comprehensive, far more than any other book that I have seen. I would highly recommend using the EZ Solutions GMAT set of books to improve your scores!
Crash Word Problems November 20, 2008
Oleksiy Lytvyn (Indiana)
This book is very strong in providing you with all types of Word Problems that you can meet on real GMAT test. But the main target of this book is not only to show you all these problems, but provide you with everything, what you need, to successfully solve all of them. You shouldn't read boring theory, because you study it when you practicing.
In every GMAT textbooks (here I mean textbooks that provide you with preparation for all GMAT sections), you definitely find a chapter or section "Word Problem" where you find theory about this type of problems and enough limited set of problems. If you go through the theory and do all problems, but don't understand something or find them easy then you have to search in other sources for additional examples.
This book helps you to discover your gaps in all types of Word problems. It helps you to understand why and where you make mistakes because everything is done step-by-step without jumping and dropping any stage of explanation in solutions.
The level of difficulty of problems is ranged from easy to difficult. It means that you can solve easy problem, but make a mistake in more difficult one, then you immediately find your weaknesses. The conception of this book is to provide you with problems, but these problems are in blocks that related to one rule or one type of problem. Even if you take a problem and whether guess the answer or solve it occasionally, you can't guess all answers or use your flaw approach for the same type of problem that is paraphrased or conditions are changed. Doing problems in a row show you whether you are good, or you need to improve your skills. Because the worst what could happen is when you solve pretty easy examples of word problems and think that you are pretty good with these questions, but on real test you get more complex problem. Uppps...
May be other providers want to provide their users with the same approach too, like EZ, but they want to cover as much as possible in one book and with theory, and it's unreal to insert all this stuff in one book.
Good Luck!
Honest Review of GMAT Books! February 24, 2008
Rochelle Smith (USA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
