Summary: Good buy 2004-10-01
Comment: I took the Princeton Review prep class which provided a good foundation. Then I honed my GMAT skills with an earlier edition of the Kaplan 800 and once I resumed taking the "regular" practice tests I saw my score improve. I ended up scoring 760 the 1st time I took the GMAT

Summary: The good thing about this book is the title 2004-03-18
Comment: ... and nothing else unfortunately.
The theory is insufficient.
The strategies aren't better than regular and are chaotically presented throughout the book.
The questions are not that though unless they are just written badly.On the other side it has a nice foreword and an ambitious title, so I was stupid enough to buy it as I hadn't seen the reviews. No more Kaplan for me EVER.

Summary: ADOBE EBOOKS WON'T WORK AFTER YOU REINSTALL YOUR SOFTWARE!!! 2004-01-11
Comment: Don't buy this eBook!
I bought it last year, but decided to take the GMAT this year.
Everything was ok, but when I needed to format my hard drive and reinstall the software, the ebook reader (Adobe Reader) wouldn't let me activate it.
Now I can't read the book...

Summary: Poor editing, not so challenging math examples 2003-10-08
Comment: This book was truly disappointing. This was the last book I used in preparing for the GMAT and it was so riddled with errors and poor explanations that it made me want to pull my hair out. The math problems were easy in the book but the actual problems I saw on the GMAT were much harder (and I'm a freakin' engineer!) I would recommend the Official GMAT study guide with over 1400 questions and irrefutable explanations (they wrote the test so they should know). My score was 740 and I think the Official Guide was the most helpful. I also used the Princeton Review book but it was not nearly as bad as this Kaplan trash.

Summary: Great Book! 2003-07-31
Comment: This is a great book for prep on hard questions. It has a good selection of questions and great strategies - goes beyond the basic stuff other books talk about. I do think this book offers something the others don't, and has a very realistic set of questions - I found some other books didn't quite hit the mark in terms of offering GMAT style questions. I would recommend this for anyone shooting for a 720+. Look at this book after you have prepped a little with the more basic materials. I got a 770 and I think this book helped.
