Rezension bezieht sich auf: Kaplan GMAT with CDROM (Kaplan GMAT Premier Program (w/CD)) (Taschenbuch)
I have used several GMAT books to fully prepare for my big day. The book that accompanies this package is unremarkable. However, I was amazed at the tech quality of the CD ROM: the "virtual instructors" provide the basic facts about the GMAT and its components. The CD is really what you're paying for. The astute GMAT student will take and review all 4 practice tests on the CD. Please note--the Math sections are A LOT tougher than those appearing on real GMAT. Don't be discouraged by poor results on these sections! The Verbal sections are over-simplified. I think they give prospective test-takers a false sense of security on test day. Obtain an English grammar/usage book to supplement the Kaplan materials. Of course, you MUST purchase the Offical GMAT prep-book. ("Ain't nuthin like the real thing bay-bay.") Do the real questions after you've completed the Kaplan tests. You should be peaking at this point. Take the plunge! Finally, I found it helpful to "log" my errors for each section. That's right, a log. Try it--it works. Bonne chance! (relax, no french on the gmat)

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Kaplan GMAT with CDROM (Kaplan GMAT Premier Program (w/CD)) (Taschenbuch)
Although the book itself does not differ greatly from the other prep textbooks, the software that comes with it is truly exceptional! Not only does it offer 4 full GMAT practice exams, but it also features virtual instructors that take you through all the strategies of taking the test, the drill questions, math and verbal reviews, and your OWN personalized study plan compiled after you take the diagnostic test. The software even includes a set of games that let you practice your GMAT skills in a fun way. While I do own most of the existing GMAT prep software kits, if I'd have to choose only one of them, I'd pick this one, and go with ETS's Official Guide instead of their Powerprep (same questions, less $ to pay).

Dated Information, 1. August 2000
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Kaplan GMAT with CDROM (Kaplan GMAT Premier Program (w/CD)) (Taschenbuch)
I have just completed reading the book and going through the exercises. First the good news - the tutorials which are interspersed throughout the book are fantastic and give invaluable advise on how to attack the test. The bad news - the book makes reference to being able to go back and review old questions, which is no longer possible with CAT. I believe the bulk of this book is several years old, predating the CAT with some backfilling describing the CAT issues. There are several questions which are plain wrong and/or deceptive and I do not believe the questions and sample tests realisticly represent GMAT questions. Two specific examples: Page 162, question 18; Page 135, question 23. My take on the questions is that they are not as polished nor realisticly representative of the kinds of questions that you will see on the test itself. I would recommend getting something else, especially if you intend to only use a single source for your studying. This is too bad as Kaplan has a fantastic reputation for just this kind of material, but in this case it's dated material. Scott.
