The Official Guide to the GMAT, 13th Edition will be the first guide on the market that contains official sample questions from the new Integrated Reasoning section that will be part of the GMAT exam in June 2012. Because this component is more interactive than other core components in the GMAT exam (Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing), the Integrated Reasoning practice questions will be housed on a companion website that readers will be able to access after purchasing the book*.
In addition, 20% of the current questions will be replaced - all with official questions used on actual GMAT exams - more than 800 questions are included!. No other GMAT study guide can provide this.
The book will publish three months before the new test is integrated and will be the only guide on the market to include study information and practice questions written by the writers of the test.

This book is a good resource for reviw questions, however, other sources such as the Princeton Review or similar sources should be used first, to learn the shortcuts, and ways to attack the questions. After using other sources, use this book to try your new techniques

Bought the digital version to keep my study going on the road. Generally it's a well formatted eBook from what I can tell (though it looks like others have noticed issues with tables / images that are too low a resolution).
For my part, I can't even get that far because it crashed EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to jump to a page - in this case to the Problem Solving section. Not sure if this is a problem with the Nook or with the eBook, but this seems to be the only title I have issues with.

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.This book is full of actual questions/answers from previous GMAT exams. It also includes reviews for every section of the test. So if you're weak on math, there's a section to review math, etc. It goes from trigonometry, geometry, statistics, and every math type question asked.
I recommend it if you're serious about taking the GMAT.

This book is good for someone who would like to study GMAT for the first time. Though I am a foreigner, this is still great to know what kind of test GMAT is. In this book, everything is organized by subject compactly, it is useful to know what you should study with concentration.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I got the book for reference and it is great. Although it is an older edition, it is very useful for many practice sessions, which I will need before the actual test. I also like the step by step explanation of the problems, it helps me understand the materials so much better. :D

This guide should be a mandatory purchase for anyone looking to take the GMAT Exam. It was an essential ingredient to my scoring success on the exam. The Official Guide for GMAT Review offers hundreds of "retired" questions to fine tune your skills. I was fortunate to find it.
