Rating: - Horrible
I've heard that kaplan under calculates your CAT scores by 100 but when I actually did it, I found the practice tests pretty ridiculous. Its not because the questions are harder, but the fact that the scoring algorithm intentionally underestimates your score significantly.
Ex: the official practice test gave me a 660, where as kaplan gave me a 560.

Also the CAT math sections are full of errors. The verbal sections have a real problem it comes to double spacing. Its really annoying ... Read More
Rating: - Worth it for the CD
First, I don't understand all the complaints about errors and typos. I did every problem in this book and understood the solutions when I read the answer explanations of problems I got wrong. I did not encounter errors. (I ultimately scored a 730.) I can't help but wonder if some of the "errors" people found were answers they just didn't understand. (A reviewer of the Official Guide here on Amazon proved that point by bringing up a specific example s/he quoted as the book's mistake, but other users explained ... Read More
Rating: - OK, but the official GMAT guide is better
I used the Kaplan guide and the official GMAT study guide to prepare for the GMAT.I first went throught the Kaplan guide cover to cover.I found the math review to be very helpful, and some of the test taking tips were useful.However, once I began reviewing the official GMAT study guide it became apparent that the practice questions in the Kaplan quide weren't quite accurate reflections of what the actual questions would look like.Practicing questions is the key to success in taking the GMAT.I've read ...

Rating: - Numerous errorsin math section; try another publisher!
This is my first GMAT study guide, and the first standardized test study guide I've used in over a decade. The Verbal section was pretty good. It had a few frustrating errors but none that kept me from learning the material. The Math section, however, is awful. As others have mentioned elsewhere, why would the Kaplan folks ask you to check your answers using a calculator when it clearly says elsewhere in the book that you CANNOT use any kind of electronic device (including calculators) during the actual GMAT test? ...

Rating: - Sooo many errors
I have to say that I am disappointed in this book. I've found NUMEROUS typos and errors...this is supposed to be a review guide. Simple things like getting PEMDAS correct (it is referenced as PEDMAS on page 224). On page 263 there is an error in the associative law example...that 3Y should be 3X...people have enough problems with math itself than to have to read a study guide that throws erroneous problems at them. It's a waste of time and honestly I have no faith in continuing to review from it. Now I see even more ... Read More
