Summary: This is the best guide for the GMAT! 2007-03-28
Comment: Having used both "The GMAT Advantage with Professor Dave" and "The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition," I have to say that Professor Dave is the best study guide for this test.
I initially purchased the "Official" guide because I thought it would have the latest test preparation sample questions and tips for taking the test. In actual use, the "official" guide lacks much of what really counts when it comes to successfully studying for this exam... practical test-taking tips.
As we all know, the most important things to study before taking any standardized test are the format and structure of the test, along with the way in which the test is scored. Most of the information on this test is learned over the past years of college and earlier schooling, not from any study guide. This is the main reason why I highly recommend "The GMAT Advantage with Professor Dave!"
Professor Dave is the ultimate study guide. A GMAT test-taker only has to sit down and follow this well structured guide in order to learn how to take the test and succeed.
Professor Dave introduces you to the GMAT at the beginning of the book in a calming and motivating way. He helps structure the next four or five days of studying by actually dividing the sections of the book into specific days of study and setting breaks during the day. My favorite part of the guide was that it felt as if I had an actual professor there assisting me with preparing for the exam.
Overall, this book is a complete study guide for the GMAT. It surpasses other books in so many ways. Most importantly, it is structured with a realistic schedule for studying, and comes with a virtual professor that both motivates and brings a sense of support to your preparation for this test. If you're like many GMAT test takers, busy with a full time job or college work and lack free time, the structure of this book is worth every dollar and time you put into it!
What are you waiting for? Add this book to your shopping cart and start preparing for your GMAT test!

Summary: Well Done 2005-11-10
Comment: I have attempted using many tools to try to crack the GMAT...but I was never fully satisfied until I found the GMAT w/Prof Dave. I love the style it's written in and the easy to learn tools that are given. I was very lucky that I had people recommend this book to me, and I, like them urge anyone who is going to take the GMAT to get this book!

Summary: excellent review 2004-12-22
Comment: This was the first book I picked up. I didn't know what to expect but I had
heard of the author from friends. I was a little intimidated by the exam but
this book was just what I needed to ease me into a study mode. The style is friendly and inviting, but don't be fooled by the classroom style, levity, and graphics. The material is very challenging academic stuff.
The professor is friendly and polite, then challenges you with some very
difficult math problems. But he shows you how to categorize problems and several techniques to use. It really opened my eyes to math problem solving. I must have worked 300 problems. This was the most help. The math tutorials were excellent. There is a section in the book on new types of math problems that have appeared on the most recent exams. I'm not sure how they got this information but it shows they do their homework.
Be ready to work hard. There are four 7-8 hour classes in the book (plus
extensive homework) but it took me a lot longer than eight hours per class because I read every explanation carefully.
They rated every question in the book as to easy, medium, or difficult. I
didn't get this at first but later I realized recognizing harder questions
indicated I needed more time with these. This little tip made me aware of timing which has always been a problem for me. My pacing improved markedly.
The critical reasoning questions were abundant in the book, broken into
categories which made them easier to understand. Many of these questions were related to business (with some business terminology) that can be tough for Liberal Arts majors.
All in all, I strongly endorse this book and the Official Guide which is another great study guide, but without the pictures.
