Summary: Good Exercise 2007-12-15
Comment: I found this beneficial and relied on it heavily while studying. The test seemed to be a closer assessment of ability than the product from GMAT, but I used both while studying.

Summary: Kaplan is Horrible! 2006-09-16
Comment: I got the book. Signed up for the website. Then didn't have time to study for a while because of work. When I finally had time to use the book and study, my internet access (where a lot of important suppliments are) was cut off because it was passed the assumed amount of time. I tried getting it restored, but Kaplan was no help.
1st-They kept connecting me to the wrong departments who were too busy to talk, so took messages and never returned your calls.
2nd-Didn't respond to emails
3rd-After 4 days of trying to get in contact with the right department, I found out at Friday at 6pm that the people who could help me are closed from 5pm and the whole weekend. So now I have to lose another 3 days. This is very frustrating for someone who has to work and is limited with time. The phone opperator said this is a common problem but Kaplan does not care to spend the money to have employees over the weekend.

DO NOT USE THIS BOOK, THE SERVICE THAT COMES WITH IT IS TERRIBLE!

Summary: Helpful, but you'll have to do the heavy lifting yourself 2006-08-14
Comment: This is a decent GMAT prep book. It's worth the money, and will help you get in gear for the GMAT. However, the GMAT is computer-based now, so relying on the books too much is of limited value. It will help you brush up on math and grammar a bit, and get a feel for the questions on the exam. If you are serious about doing well on the GMAT, you need to do some practice tests on the computer.

If it means anything to you, I got a 720 on the GMAT. This book definitely helped, because I hadn't done any math for a few years.

Summary: It's helpful 2006-03-13
Comment: I'm in agreement with what most people have said. The Kaplan review is definitely harder than the real GMAT, they work you harder on the practice tests and score you lower. This will most likely be a discouraging experience, but if you work at it and really put in the effort then it will lead to a good score.

My Kaplan scores were as follows:
550, 550, 620

I just took the GMAT and scored 710. The three materials I used were Kaplan, GMAC's Quantitative Review book, and the 2 free downloadable practice tests from MBA.com (which I scored 620 & 720 on). Bottom line, use Kaplan to prepare, then use the MBA.com practice tests as an accurate indicator of how you will really score.

Summary: still a skeptic if it really helped or not 2005-08-24
Comment: I am an undergraduate whose trying to go directly for his MBA.
So far the preparation was horrible

Diagnostic: 570
CAT 1: 400 Scaled scores: Q- 22 V-21
CAT 2: 420 Q- 25 V-16
CAT 3: 500 Q- 28 V-22

Ok, I have to say that at the third CAT I concetrated as if it were the real deal. My GMAT is tomorrow so I feel like I will do terrible to miserable.
The other comments make me feel a little bit better but since I did not do as tarrific as the other reviewers I feel panicked.
I would like to score above 550+ and best outcome would be around the 620 areas.
I hope that the other reviewers are right saying that the Kaplan is more difficult than the real deal.
I had only a ten days time to study for the test.
