The Fractions, Decimals, and Percents guide
(1 of the 8 books in Manhattan GMAT's Preparation Guide series)
provides a highly organized and structured approach to the variety of
questions in this quantitative content area. Students are presented
with ways to manipulate part-whole relationships and practice
implementing strategic time-efficient shortcuts. The
book offers a unique balance between two competing emphases:
test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Practice
problem sets build specific foundational skills in each topic and
include the most advanced content that many other prep books ignore. As
the average GMAT score required to gain admission to top b-schools
continues to rise, this guide provides test takers with the depth and
volume of advanced material essential for succeeding on the GMAT's
computer adaptive format. Book also includes online access to 6
full-length Simulated Practice GMAT Exams at Manhattan GMAT's website.
Broadly speaking, success in business comes from effectively executing a strategy to attain a competitive edge. What you are looking for in your application to business school is a competitive edge; the GMAT is, after all, a competition between you and every other B-school candidate in the country. There can be a lot of winners in this competition, but you will be compared to each of them, so you must develop a strategy that will help you attain your competitive edge on this vital aspect of the application process. This book will help you develop two different strategies: first, a strategy of preparation for the days, weeks, or months before you take the test; and second, a strategy of execution for when you walk into the testing center and sit down at the keyboard.
The GMAT is a challenging exam. Preparation is vital since competition for a place at a leading business school is fierce. How to Pass the GMAT allows test-takers to become familiar with the styles of question they'll face on the GMAT. It offers expert advice as well as writing assessments and realistic practice tests covering all aspects of the GMAT: problem solving, data sufficiency, reading comprehension, sentence correction, and critical reasoning. Full answers, explanations, and assessments of scores are provided.
