Hello
I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for a good GMAT preparation book.
There are so many to choose from and I do not know which are good ones.
Thank you |

Go to Business Week's site, h22p://w3.businessweek.com/bschools/mbajournal/,
and look at their profiles for MBA's. Following is one person's path to GMAT excellence. :)
Before I got too involved in the applications, I tackled the GMAT (I didn't want to have to worry about it late in the process). Because my undergraduate transcript was void of any mentionable academic distinction, I knew I had to crush the test. While I was home for Christmas in 1998, I bought a Princeton Review GMAT book. I scheduled a February 1999 GMAT and set about a simple, methodical study program. Each night I spent about two hours doing problems from the Official Guide for GMAT Review. I worked on each of the problem areas independently, and kept detailed records about the questions I was missing and the time I was spending on them. Each weekend I took a full computer-based practice test. The last week before the test, I reviewed my testing strategy notes and crafted my essay templates.
When I finally took the GMAT CAT, I had six practice tests under my belt and felt oddly relaxed and confident. The result -- 740/6.0. The next day I gave my study books to a friend and haven't thought about the test since.
