I will be graduating in spring 2008 (BS) and am goiing to take the GMAT in Aug 2007 studying over the summer.

My question is this Kaplan each year releases new editions for example KAPLAN 800 2006-2007. Is there any change from 2005-2006? Also, do you think the 2007-2008 book be relased by May 2007?

Secondly, would you just go with Kaplan 800 and forget the KAPLAN GMAT 2006 all together?

Thanks

With regards to your first question--I don't know what the difference is between Kaplan 2006-2007 vs. 2005-2006. As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to use the latest GMAT materials on the market. However, if you all ready have the 2005-2006 edition, my sense is that there probably isn't much difference in content between this edition and the new edition.

With regards to your second question. Kaplan GMAT 2006 is a worthwhile book to purchase. If you are interested in pushing your score to the 700+ range, I think that Kaplan GMAT 800 is worthwhile to purchase ALONG with Kaplan GMAT 2006 (this is a great foundational book). Kaplan 800 focuses on the TOUGHEST material to be found on the GMAT.

Good luck!

Hi,

I am runnning out of time in my preparation and I still want to do some practice with Kaplan 800/Advanced, especially with the verbal part.

I really hope that somebody can post a list of the most difficult verbal questions from the point of his own experience. It would really save me time, as everybody says that the book is not organized in an order of difficulty.

Thanks a lot!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
