Summary: Good Tips, but better books are out there
Comment: I thought the tips in this book were good, and they were easier to absorb, and more concisely presented than in the Kaplan book. However, they were the same tips the Kaplan book had. On top of that the Kaplan book had a wealth of tests on the computer (like the actual tests), and is a better buy than this book.
I can't comment on the accuracy of the scores because I didn't take any full length tests from this book, but a really accurate score predicter is the free software (PowerPrep) you get when you register for the GMAT. They give you 2 practice tests that are basically identical to the real tests (as well as tons of exercises) that give you a score within 20 points of what you'll actually score.

Summary: Diagnostic test provides unrealistic results
Comment: Before reading this book, I took the diagnostic test at the beginning of the book to get a baseline of my GMAT score. I made a 730, so naturally, I thought that I would do much better on the real test. I read the book and went through all of the math practice tests (my weakest area). On the night before my exam, I decided to take the PowerPrep test to see how much I had improved after studying for a few weeks. I made a 550. Imagine my disappointment!
I decided to not take the GMAT test the next day and wasted hundreds of dollars.
I haven't taken any of the other diagnostic tests in the other books, but they've got to be better than this one! Also, the questions on the PowerPrep exam were MUCH more difficult than the sample questions and practice questions in this guide.
In short, if you do well according to this book, don't expect to do well on the GMAT!
I had the 2nd Edition, btw.

Summary: Good for strategies, not for sample questions
Comment: This book offers great advice on tackling the various types of problems on the GMAT CAT. I found the strategies for the Reading Comprehension questions especially useful. However, I found the sample Data Sufficiency questions far too difficult, especially in light of how much time Weber recommends you allow yourself for each problem set. For example, I did a sample set of his problems and didn't do very well at all. Yet if I did the same number of Data Sufficiency questions from the ETS 'Official' GMAT review book under the same time limit as I allowed myself for Weber's problems, I did substantially better (50% correct vs. 90% correct). So I wouldn't get discouraged by Weber's Data Sufficiency problems. Of course, if you find his questions easy, then you should rock that section of the exam. Good luck!
