The 12th edition of the Official GMAT Guide presents more than 800 questions
taken from retired versions of the test with more detailed explanations of the correct answers.
The questions are presented in order of difficulty, giving users a better understanding of what
constitutes an easy or hard question. The 12th edition also features two new downloadable tests
and practice questions to help users focus their preparation efforts. The Official GMAT Guide remains the
only test prep book on the market that presents actual questions from prior tests. This book, along with an
"unofficial" GMAT strategy test-taking guide, should be all that you need to prepare yourself for the exam.

GMAC!)

GMAT 2010, Premier Live Online by Kaplan
Buy this book from Amazon.com
We have received a lot of favorable feedback from
our MBA admissions clients on this book's predecessor the past
2 years,
and hence we are hoping this newest edition at least
matches the expectations set by the previous Kaplan book
and CD ROM combination set.
The book is helpful and contains many good study tips.
The CD-ROM is what makes this a good buy, however,
due to the extensive test questions and diagnostic
tools. While there is a large group of people who like
the Kaplan questions because they claim they are more
difficult than the GMAC official questions (an
interesting argument in its own right since there are
different bins of questions on the real GMAT each
grouped by level of difficulty), we still
prefer the official GMAC questions and simply recommend
augmenting, not substituting the Kaplan questions for
the real GMAT questions in the GMAC book described above.
Cracking the GMAT with DVD,
2010 Edition by Princeton Review
Buy
this book with DVD from Amazon.com
We like this guide because well, for
starters, it comes right out and recommends the official
guide for practicing "real" GMAT questions.
Additionally, the test-taking strategies are very
insightful and are designed to help you eliminate the
"decoy" answers GMAC wants you to incorrectly choose.
Process of elimination techniques are also very well
explained in this guide. The DVD is a nice
differentiator for readers who want the video to
supplement their learning. This product has long been a favorite amongst
our business school admissions clients.
The GMAT for Dummies
(5th Ed) by
Scott Hatch and Lisa Hatch
Buy this book from Amazon.com
If you like the for Dummies books,
you will not be disappointed. This book is a definite
help, but the
GMAT test is now computerized and the third edition
does not adequately address the test's new format.
McGraw-Hill's GMAT with CD-ROM, 2010 Edition by
James Hasic and Stacey Rudnick
Buy this book from Amazon.com
After only receiving very limited, but
positive, feedback on the 2009 edition, we have now
received enough client feedback to feel confident
recommending this book. The CD ROM is supposed to be
very good and this appears, from all accounts, to be a
very good book that just hasn't received enough
promotion. We have not yet purchased this book and
reviewed it ourselves, but we plan to do so over the
next coming months.
Cliffs Computer-Adaptive Graduate
Management Admissions Test by
Jerry Bobrow, et. al.
Buy
this book from Amazon.com
Good explanations are provided for the
questions and answers. Test-taking strategies are
discussed. This book is optimal, however, only for those
test takers who have one week or less to prepare for the
exam.
