I am most irritared by the explanations of PR Evil or Very Mad
This book does not set up an equation for me or anything like that! it will simply say "backsolve" or "ballpark"

BALLPARK?? what a joke is that? Honestly, stick to OG, Kaplan and Manhattan!

I just completed a test and I have no idea how to solve some of the problems I answered incorrectly!

Yeah, I agree. Even though the book does an ok job going through the basics (for those who forgot), I didn't like PRs strategy on solving math problems. It does come in handy in certain situations, but its always good to know the basics behind it.

I took a couple Manhattan GMAT CAT exams online and its a bit harder than PR and it explains the answers very nicely.
