I am most irritared by the explanations of PR :evil:
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.
