Reviews The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review


The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review, 2nd edition, is a welcomed addition to the Official GMAT Review "family" of books. Since most test takers score lower in the verbal section than in the quantitative section, you should not be surprised to learn that this is one of the most popular resources available for GMAT preparation.

As compared with other books with 100% verbal focus, the verbal supplement has the unequaled advantage of bringing you 300 official, retired questions. I cannot stress enough the importance of having real GMAT materials to practice: their quality and style is unmatched in the test prep industry! In terms of number of problems, the book contains:

* 104 Reading Comprehension
* 83 Critical Reasoning
* 113 Sentence Correction

Though there is no overlap between this guide and the official guide 12th edition, there is overlap with PDF tests available from GMAC, OG 10th edition, and also PowerPrep (previous version of official GMATPrep that is still floating on the internet).

If you have gone through the Official Guide and still need access to the genuine GMAC questions - definitely go for this book (this is the next best/cheapest source of Real retired GMAT questions; first being the Free GMATPrep software, second, The Official Guide), but otherwise, get the Main Official Guide first, go through 900 questions, and then decided if you really need more questions - most people don't.

In terms of difference between 1st and 2nd editions - there are 75 new questions and it seems all sections got a bit of a refresh, so you will find about 25 new questions in CR, RC, and SC sections. No other changes have been made. If you own the first edition of this book - don't bother.
