Customer Reviews

CATs are accurate

Hello, I took the GMAT today and my GMAT score was 90 points lower than my lowest Princeton Review CAT score from the 04 edition of cracking the GMAT. I made a 770 on both Powerprep tests (however my scores were highly inflated since I answer all of the questions in the ETS Guide before taking the Powerprep tests) and a 720 and 740 on the Princeton Review CATS. I made a 610 (on diagnostic), 540, 570, 550 on the Kaplan CATs from the 05 edition. I scored a 640 (46 math 31 verbal) and a 610 (41 math and 32 verbal) respectively on the Peterson CATs. I did not read the Peterson book. Most importantly, my Peterson CAT scores were almost idential to my real GMAT score. According to my unofficial GMAT score, I scored a 630: 46 on Math at 79% and 31 on verbal at 62% with an overall 79% ranking (or I scored higher than 79% of all the test takers). Now if you want to know where you are at presently, take a couple of the Peterson's CATs. However,I have more work to do if I want to get accepted into a top 10 MBA program for the Fall 2006 semester.

Current reader/studier comments and rections

I am currently studiing for the GMAT and using this book as well as others. I am centering my study around this book and using the others as add ons, for different perspectives, and for additional practice tests. The course is thorough. The book breaks down each part of the test into types of questions that are asked. Most importantly the book gives a math or grammer lesson to teach you what you didn't know or forgot. I like this better than other programs that give you "tricks" to solve problems. I prefer to understand the underlying knowlegde. That is why this book is better than the other books that I've seen. My one complaint about the book is that their sample questions are poor. The reading comprehension passages were incomprehensible and the questions were poorly worded and confusing. I was very concerned until I consulted other references and realized I that it was the book and not me. One sample math question required some little math rule that I have never heard of or ever seen in a book. Good luck everyone! -MR
