Product Description

* Score high on the GMAT. Get accepted to the Business School of your dreams.

* Comprehensive coverage of all problem types: Problem Solving, Data Sufficiency, Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Analytical Writing.

* 200 all-star problems to ensure you score high on the GMAT.

Ace the GMAT lends candidates a secret recipe for use in mastering GMAT study. Each hand-selected problem comes with a novel Classification, Snapshot, and Chili Rating. Classification tells you what category a problem belongs to. Snapshot highlights why that particular problem is chosen, as well as any special insights or problem-solving approaches that are deemed relevant. A Chili Rating helps candidates judge the estimated difficulty level of a given problem. A single chili indicates that a problem is "mild" (500 to 600 difficulty level), two chilies spell "hot" (600 to 700 difficulty level), and three chilies denote "very hot" (700 or above difficulty level).

Along with answers and detailed explanations, there arguably exists no other learning tool to help you tackle GMAT study at a high level in a more focused, efficient manner.

user comment Ace the GMAT Effective GMAT preparation
 
Review Date: September 30, 2004
Reviewer: Matt, Chicago, IL
I think this book is invaluable for someone who's preparing the GMAT. It focus on topics that students need to master to get a reasonably high score in GMAT. This approach is quite differenty from other text where they simply list a series of problems for students to work on. I feel this approach is much more effective in helping students to answer the more difficult questions in GMAT.

Review Date: August 19, 2004
Reviewer: A GMAT test-taker,
I found 'Ace the GMAT' to be, by far, the most helpful book of all of the GMAT preparation books I used. While the Kaplan GMAT book and the official GMAT guide published by ETS are both invaluable, I nevertheless found the tips and strategies provided by the 'Ace the GMAT' book to be the most comprehensive, concrete and ultimately helpful. The strategies included to tackle the math section were particularly good, especially the chapter regarding questions on probability. Overall, I do not think that anyone's GMAT prep-book arsenal is complete without this book.
user comment Ace the GMAT Well worth the investment.

Reviewer: Test taker,
Excellent skills-building tool that closed the gap in my preparation for the GMAT, which other prep books weren't doing. The author does a fabulous job of providing the lowdown on the question types that recur on the test and the approaches that actually work, and presenting them in a way that's easy for time-poor test takers to digest. Indispensable in helping this test taker hit the 95th percentile. Absolutely worth the investment.

Review Date: January 21, 2004
Reviewer: ,
I found this book to be excellent for sorting problems into groups and learning what common principles are behind related problems. The book has a cool list of ¡°tips¡± imbedded in the solutions section which helped me grasp the common principles behind problem groupings. Even as a liberal arts major and former investment banker, I found a good number of these math and verbal tips simple but not necessarily obvious and enjoyed having them spelled out for me. Examples: Tip #48: ¡°Two rectangular solids my have identical surface areas but different volumes (and vice versa)¡± and Tip #92: ¡°If A is thought to be causing B, the idea that B is causing A is called reverse causation and casts serious doubt on the notion that A is really causing B.¡± The book has a wonderful review of analytical writing and a nice short grammar review in the appendix. This book will teach you how to do problems, and I found it a great complement to the GMAT Official Guide, which has gobs of practice problems but doesn¡¯t deal with how problems work conceptually. In summary, although I was a bit skeptical at first, I thought this book was well deserving of its claim to be ¡°the #1 skill-building GMAT book.¡±

1 - The first few chapters gave helpful points about how to approach the test, especially the essay part.
2 - The math practice questions were just like the test, but the explanations to the answers weren't very helpful.
3 - The English questions were just like the test and the explanations were better written than the explanations for the math answers.
