The reality is that GMAT tests high school math, basic level of grammar, basic logic, and basic reading skills. What makes scoring high on the GMAT hard is the time limit. If you think GMAT tests some advanced topics, then this book is for you because the key to getting a high score, is having solid background and solid basics. You want to do as much as you can to build that foundation because without a sound foundation, the rest of the house falls apart and your fancy roof or granite counters will not help you when walls start settling.~~~~ This is the right book if: ~~~~- You are looking for a review to polish some of your skills (this is a good book to thumb through)- You are an international applicant. Enough said probably but there is value from grammar as well Idioms/RC vocabulary (25% of the book is devoted to this)- You are short on time (you can use this book instead buying the 3 verbal Guides). You can cover this one in 1 week as opposed to 3 weeks for the CR, RC, and SC Guides (overlap is minimal but you get the most important skills here)- You keep failing to get a high verbal score and can't quite pinpoint the reason (most likely you have skipped right to the more advanced topics & strategies, so this will be a good way to refresh/review)~~~~ This is the wrong book if: ~~~~- Your English is poor (you must learn English first). This is not an ESL guide or a shortcut- You are looking for an in-depth Grammar guide (this touches on MAIN subjects but it is rather short for a grammar book - 90 pages of content and about 50 if you take out the examples and drills)- You are looking for advanced strategies or hard questions (there are some but very few).
