That is a fantastic question, and one which I cannot answer.

When I studied for the GMAT I was consistently recommended the Kaplan Premier book, and I was quite satisfied by it. I have not reviewed the Comprehensive book, but I'm thinking you'll be sufficiently covered by purchasing just the Premier.

Good luck! Anyone else know the difference?

Thanks Eric
Just got a reply from a friend....Havn't verified this info yet....

Hi Ajay

Comprehensive is more of basic....

its for the starters who wanna start from the scratch.....

Premier edition is condense material for the advance stage which will give u some real dense good examples of higher level......

I hope this solves the purpose

Hi Friends,
I brought following 2 books

1] Kaplan Comprehensive 2008 Edition
2] Kaplan Primer 2008 Edition

I find content of these books are same...each and every problem....I'm bit frustrated as I brought both of them...

Only advantage with Kaplan Primer is that it has CD which has some practice sectional and full length tests....

Thanks,
Ajay

Thanks for sharing, and sorry to hear you bought redundant material after all.

So it seems like the only difference between the two is the CD...

"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."
