Typos in Manhattan GMAT Book

by priya_kapoor » Sun Jul 25, 2010 8:25 am
Hi,

So I am going to take my test in a few weeks and I noticed my biggest problem was word translation. I am using the Manhattan GMAT book and I find it has a million typos. Is there a location where I can find the area where they correct it or another book someone would recommend for word translations, specifically permutation, probability, combinations etc.? Thanks.

I've noticed those same typos and word translations are also my biggest weakness. Just curious, how have you found MGMAT's chart method for solving certain types of WT problems?

I've noticed typos, too, but not "millions of them". I'm a little surprised at the typos I've noticed, since most could have been detected by a spelling or grammar checker. I just ignore them since they don't really detract from the overall content.
