Description

Getting a top score on the quantitative section of the SAT, GRE, and GMAT requires far more than plugging numbers into formulas. Students must apply their mathematical skills to convoluted word problems that test their ability to read clearly, interpret quickly, and determine the optimal plan of attack. Most importantly, they must be ready for the typical tricks and traps that the test writers use over and over again to snag unsuspecting students. This publication presents the hardest, trickiest, most convoluted word problems you are likely to see on the SAT, GRE, and GMAT – and shows you how to tackle each one quickly and confidently. We will test your knowledge (and speed) for every topic from addition to probability, including all of those annoying word problems involving mixtures, age, rates, and geometry. Use this book to fill in the gaps – and to find creative ways to solve “killer” problems without breaking a sweat. To ace a standardized test, you will need to conquer math word problems. If you want a top score, this book can help.

Description

Few prospects are as frightening to MBA applicants as taking the GMAT. Ironically, most preparation guides only cover half of what students need to know to get a top score on the exam. To ace the GMAT, students must master far more than the requisite concepts in math, grammar and writing; they must learn the tricks of the test writers, who tend to ask the same types of questions, with the same types of trips, traps and pitfalls, on every exam. This publication addresses the second half of the equation, by “teaching the test” in an efficient and practical manner. It presents targeted strategies for each section of the GMAT, along with dozens of relevant examples. Readers will learn the sneaky ways that test writers try to confuse students and distract them from the correct answer choices. They will learn practical (and manageable) ways to conquer dense reading passages and tough math problems. Most importantly, they will learn how to exploit the predictability of the GMAT, which make it a surprisingly learnable test. For many students, the GMAT is the greatest obstacle they will face in the MBA admissions process. With so much at stake, they must work smarter (rather than harder), to earn a top score. This savvy publication shows them how.

Description

Far too often, students offer the same excuse for scoring poorly on the quantitative section of the GMAT. “I understand the theory, but I can’t solve word problems.” Sad to say, but in the world of standardized tests, this is analogous to saying that you know the alphabet, but you can’t speak in sentences. Getting a top score on the GMAT requires far more than plugging numbers into formulas. You need to be able to apply your mathematical skills to convoluted word problems that test your ability to read clearly, interpret quickly, and determine the optimal plan of attack. Most importantly, you need to be ready for the typical tricks and traps that the GMAT writers use over and over again to snag unsuspecting students. This publication takes a common sense approach to preparing for the quantitative section of the GMAT - it presents EVERY topic in the form of word problems, which range from basic to complex. We will test your knowledge (and speed) for every topic from addition to probability, including all of those annoying word problems involving mixtures, age, rates, and geometry. Use this book to fill in the gaps – and to find creative ways to solve “killer” problems without breaking a sweat. To ace the GMAT, you need to conquer math word problems. If you’re willing to learn, this book can help.

Description

Far too often, students take a last-minute approach to GMAT preparation, which leaves them confused, overwhelmed, and unprepared for the actual test. This publication offers a logical and progressive approach for students who want to avoid cramming by preparing for the GMAT a few minutes every day. Each daily lesson plan includes a new vocabulary word, grammatical concept, and math problem that students are likely to see on the GMAT. As the lessons progress, the material becomes increasingly more difficult, to prepare students for the harder – and more time consuming - questions. Most importantly, the book provides “monthly” and “quarterly” updates to reinforce material and build the student’s confidence. The GMAT is an intimidating test, but a highly predictable one. Use this publication to gain the competitive edge that you deserve!
