Title: Very good study guide for the GMAT CAT
Product review: Consistent with other people's experience with this Kaplan book, the practice tests were much more difficult than the real GMAT. Therefore, the book makes the real test seem easier. What's funny is that I scored about as well as I did on the short diagnostic exam (so, was all the prep really worth it? I think so.). However, I scored well above the very first time I took the GMAT (9 years ago), and for that I am greatful. Since I was worried that Kaplan might not be a complete study guide, I bought the ARCO book as a companion, which I also recommend. Forget about the Barron's guide. I used this one the first time around and I scored horribly.There were only a couple mistakes in the book and on the CD. However, Kaplan needs to beef up its AWA section to take into account the new E-rater system ETS uses to score the AWA sections.
