Customer Reviews:
ExcellentOctober 23, 2008 I think this book explains how to analyze the Critical Reasoning part of the GMAT in a very well structured way. I have the Verbal workout from the Princeton Review and it doesn't even cover this topic. The official guide is too general and doesn't explain all the different types of questions that the GMAT asks in the Critical Reasoning part. The Manhattan GMAT preparation guide explains the 6 different types of questions, gives you examples and identifies the types of questions given by the Official guide so you can practice by recognizing the differences. Comparing to other books (Kaplan and Princeton Review) I liked the S-W-Slash chart.
Cons: I bought mistakenly this book I thought I was buying one book from the Manhattan Review, but the purchase was worth every dollar.
Great book!March 8, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
