Summary: unless you are out of excercise books
Comment: I chose the book because its content is pretty accurate, and it has tons of questions. Yet, as I was pratising the tense excercises, I lost my track: the question styles are off GMAT style and many questions seem to be artifically awkard. The book has 5 tests, yet all in the old GMAT format. I especially do not like the software, which has only one test in it and does not resember real GMAT experience.
On ...(the webseite), I sorted "GMAT" books by "bestselling"and I found 5 books that fit my needs and have >4.5 stars. These five books have been helpful to my progress! I wish I had logged on ... (the website) and read others' comments earlier. Well.
Good luck to you.

Summary: There is better prep material out there
Comment: This book the typical job of explaning the test, and what is going to be tested, and will review you over the basic types of quesitons that the test has. Then the book gives you a pretest to let you know where you stand, and then it begins to give you some review sections.
The review sections are pretty good, but they are not helpful if you are someone that needs to brush up on a subject. In fact, they do tell you they are no substitute to real knowledge. So you might want to keep that in mind.
The next sections of the book are a series of practice tests that are good exercises to go through, but some people claim some of the answers are wrong, and I did find a few typos in the book. So it is a little frustrating to work through.
The computer software disk, is worthless. Other books such as the Princeston review's disk has LOTS of questions. This book computerized the first exam in the book only. Not exactly helpful, not adaptive, so don't look for a lot of help.
Now this book might be good if you just want to sit down and do problems similar to the ones on the exam. If you are looking for a reach coach, or anything that is adaptive, this book isn't much help. Personally, I wouldn't purchase the book, but if someone had a copy laying around, I'd pick it up.

Summary: Awful, terrible gmat book. Dont buy it!
Comment: Words fail to describe how bad this book is.
The practice tests and questions have no resemblence at all to the actual gmat questions.
The book is so bad that I was personaly insulted and have decided not to purchase any more "barrons" books.
