Summary: Highly recommended 2008-05-12
Comment: This book was a great help, providing clear explanations for the practice problems and carefully going over its methods in a way that was informative and easy to grasp. I was able to utilize this book to my advantage without any trouble and without having prior experience with practice problems and tests. Overall, the straightforward format of the book and its clarity of style helped me gain many skills necessary to be confident about taking the GMAT. I would definitely recommend this to anyone else taking the test and needing a practice boost.

Summary: too abstact 2008-05-04
Comment: I can concur with others who have pointed out the distracting typos, which also make some of the explanations quite confusing.
This book appears to contain some fairly sophisticated methods for tackling difficult problems on the GMAT--the problem is that they are woefully unexplained and poorly illustrated. In fact, this whole thing reads like a course accompanying product that depends on teacher explanation. Very unpolished and really only of use to advanced students and those looking to get their hands on more practice problems. Go with the other other Manhattan series if you're looking for one good set of books.

Summary: Math Study Guide 2007-12-11
Comment: Heard great things from my colleagues about this series. They really lived up to my expectation though the book covers could have been laminated to make them sturdier! Overally speaking, it is a very good book. Basic to advanced. Tons of difficult questions. Solutions are very detailed. I also found a lot of free downloadable study guides from Manhattan Review's website (www.Manhattanreview.com). Try it. I also emailed them directly about my suggestions on the books. They were very responsive and receptive. In sum, I recommend the Turbocharge books after going through a half dozen other study books. OG is also a must.

Summary: updates 2007-09-27
Comment: I have recently purchased a set of Turbocharge GMAT books. The books are
very comprehensive and well structured with practice problems at the back of
the book behind all the chapter-by-chapter instructions. I noticed that all
the books are updated recently within the last two months. It is quite
assuring to know someone is always fine-tuning the content and updating it.
Highly recommend it. A friend studied with the set and scored 740 lately. I
hope I will match or beat it!

Summary: Too Many Mistakes!!! 2007-08-28
Comment: This book is good cause it is small, has a good glossary of terms/formulas, but there are a ton of mistakes. Some that apply to numbers and make some concepts hard to understand. Plus, they don't explain anything. They show you a concept, give you a couple practice questions, then that's it. I guess that's a way for them to sell the other book and make more money. For the size of the book and overall worth of it to me, I'd pass. The 1st 20 or so pages are good, but the rest was sub-par. I prefer Princeton Review's Cracking the GMAT.
