Summary Of The Book
Cracking the GMAT (With DVD) is a comprehensive guide to taking the GMAT test for admission into management schools. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is an internationally standardized test format that students take up, to gain entrance into management institutions for graduate studies. The GMAT, like other general aptitude exams, tests the candidate’s mathematical, analytical, and verbal skills.
This test is divided into three sections - Analytical Writing Assessment, Quantitative Ability, and Verbal Skills. The Analytical section has two essay writing exercises. One of the essays should be based on a given argument, while the other must focus on a given issue. The Quantitative Section is a set of multiple choice questions, with two sections - the first one tests a candidate’s problem solving ability and the other is a data sufficiency test. The Verbal Skills section has sentence correction tests, critical reasoning tests, and reading comprehension tests.
Cracking the GMAT (with DVD) covers all these aspects of the GMAT Exam. The book includes four full length practice exams and sample questions with detailed answers that guide readers on how to understand and solve the questions in a GMAT test. Strategies and hints that can help readers get the optimal benefits from this guide are also provided.
The chapters in this book cover topics like arithmetic, geometry, algebra, data sufficiency, sentence correction, reading comprehension, and reasoning ability. The accompanying DVD has video presentations and suggestions on how to prepare for the test.
