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.
Advanced English Dictionary is distinguished from the other (paper, electronic) dictionaries in many ways. Not because it contains far more words than a conventional paper dictionary, but because it uses a radically new approach and technology called WordNet. Instead of just listing the words and their definitions, Advanced English Dictionary shows how every word is linked to another. Type in the word "tree" and you will get not only the definition, synonyms and opposites, but the hypernyms (a tree is a kind of what?), meronyms (what are the parts of a tree?) and more. You can also find a list of hundreds of trees, from yellowwood to the Tree of Knowledge, and even all words that contain the letters t-r-e-e. This WordNet approach will help you to understand the meanings of words better. Linguists call WordNet project one of the biggest leaps for dictionaries since scholars sat down to write the epic Oxford English Dictionary.
