 2008-12-22 - Mostly 400-650 level test questions
If you are shooting for 700+ GMAT score, this book will leave a lot wanting. The main problem is the questions are way too easy for those who are above average test takers. GMAT has become MUCH more difficult over the years, and this book provides questions from old exams which no longer reflects the type questions of the real GMAT.
If you are scoring in the 500s, this book will help you. If you are already scoring above 600 in your practice exams, then I suggest you focus your studies on Manhattan GMAT books (3rd edition) and GMAT Prep (download free from MBA.COM), which has at least 250 GMAT questions which are similar to the real GMAT.
Just as anything, how you spend your time is critical in studying for your GMAT. I suggest you use your valuable time studying materials which has more difficult and realistic questions than this book.
 2008-09-05 - A must have!
I couldn't have prepped for the GMAT without this guide. It is a "must have" for anyone who actually wants to study for the GMAT with real GMAT questions. Kaplan's questions are too hard, Barron's are just bizarre - you can rely on these questions.
 2008-08-10 - not a must have but good for practice
most of the stuff in this book is already in the GMAT official guide(OG 11) except the practice problems. buy this book if you want more math practice...it has good amount of practice problems: Problem Solving(176), Data Sufficiency(118)
and these problems are different from the ones in OG 11.
2008-03-31 - Excellent Preparation Book for the GMAT
It has been seven years since I have been out of college. My math skills are very rusty. The Quanative Review is the best book to get because it is written by the GMAT Staff. Each question comes with an explanation of how the problem is solved. The book is broken down into sections with complete explanations.
I am not good at math at all and there are over 300 problems to solve from basic arthimatic, algebra, geometry, and Data Sufficienty. all have multiple choice answers and at the end of each section.
The book is much cheaper than getting it through the mba.
I also recommend the GMAT Verbal Review as well
2008-03-26 - Helpfull for GMAT excercies
