1.0 out of 5 stars Not great. Definitely not recommended., 6 April 2000
By A Customer
I found the tips in this book either unhelpful or ones I already knew (along the lines of, "If you can't do a question, don't mull over it but move on"....i.e. stuff you're taught before your first exam at prep school). The practice tests are far too easy and at a complete disparity from the selection tests that I have done which have been leagues more difficult. I'm not sure what kind of jobs this book is aiming to prepare one for - perhaps ones which require very little intellectual capacity? Sorely disappointed with this purchase. Save your money and buy a GMAT test book or something of that sort instead. You'll go further, I assure you. Harsh review, but I'm sure others will agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to practise, 11 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This is one of a number of titles that I have used from these authors and this publisher. They contain real life examples (and plenty of them). This means that with the tips along the way the methodology of the tests becomes much more comprehensible - I have definitely found it the case that the more of these tests I do the better I become - initially they were almost impossible. This series of books is practical, contains good examples and provides very useful guidance along the way. All this means that you can approach these tests with the confidence that comes from experience! Highly recommended.
