Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY
Comment: The exercises are OK to improve your score. I went from mid 600s to lower 700s after working on the 2006 GMAT 800. And that is exactly why I think this book is not worth it. I went to the store to buy the latest edition of GMAT 800 and to my surprise I realized that 90% of the questions were the same as in the 2006 edition. I think it's morally wrong to sell a new edition of these types of books that it is esentially the same as previous versions.

Summary: Good for final review
Comment: I used this book the day before I took the GMAT just to gain some extra insight on the areas that I had the most errors on the practice tests. I was scoring about 600 - 650 on the practice tests but got a 710 on the actual exam. I found the explanations to be more helpful in this book than the official GMAT book and I believe that if I had spent more with this book I would have scored higher on the exam.

Summary: not great
Comment: I obtained this book from a friend and I thought it would be chocked full of GMAT wisdom. NOPE perhaps I just "don't" get it..since I am in the 650 range on the pretests but this book is not very good. It covers a few high level ideas one must master to be in the 700-800 range but it only gives you about 2 examples per concept. I just do no think this book is worth the money...or the time
