Wow. If you're planning on taking the GMAT, you need this book. I was living in an area that didn't have Kaplan or Veritas prep classes available, so I was self-studying. I bought the Kaplan Premier book and read through the entire thing. Towards the end of the book, I realized that I didn't retain very much of the lessons early on in the book. You need a guide to scheduling your study schedule.GMAT Clarity did an amazing job of not only scheduling the Learn phase, but also providing opportunities to review past material. It's a must have for anyone that is self-studying. Along with the schedules, it provides a lot of insight into schools, and what kind of program you should be aiming for with certain scores. The only thing that this book won't do, is really evaluate your work. That's on you. You have to be realistic with yourself. It's been eight years since my undergrad, and I'm not used to spending hours a night studying. You really have to do a self assessment on your learning QUALITY. Don't just try to power through the lessons without actually learning.In addition to the Manhattan GMAT Prep, and OG series books you are required to use for this, you should also consider the Powerscore Critical Reasoning book (Amazing book. You may not realize you're getting better at CR, but it'll show on the test), Kaplan GMAT 800, and the GMAT Math workbook.BUY THIS BOOK.
I used this book to go from 570 on my diagnostic to a 720 on the real deal. Couldn't be happier with the guidance and schedules. My prep felt efficient; I was always learning and improving and I doubt it would have been like that if I studied on my own with the study materials (official guides, strategy books, etc.) The schedules are easy to follow and just make everything simple. Great book to pick up if you are self-studying for the GMAT. I give this book credit for getting a GMAT score high enough to get accepted at Wharton. Thanks Tommy.
If you want to self-study, GMAT Clarity is excellent. It gives you the advice you need to prepare efficiently. That is what it is designed to do: make everything simple and understandable, so that you do the right things in the right ways to improve your score and avoid wasting any time.I picked up the book not knowing anything about the GMAT or test prep and in a couple of days had a great feel for what I needed to do. The big picture decisions are crucial for GMAT prep and this book lays them out better than anywhere else, including the forums. I raised my score 70 points in about a month of prep; I had a tight application deadline for various reasons. I doubt this would have been possible without GMAT Clarity. Certainly recommended.
Just skimmed through this book for the first time and all I can say is "wow." GMAT Clarity gives you the independence of self-study while still offering a methodical, efficient schedule that incorporates other top-notch GMAT study resources. I really wish I had a guide book like this for every standardized test I've ever taken. Hopefully, they will expand to other exams soon!
I recommend GMAT Clarity strongly. Last year I tried to GMAT prep without much success.I got the manhattan books and the three official guide books, read some stuff on the forums and went after it pretty hard. Problem was, I didn’t know exactly what to do. I ended up working through several of the quant books and some of sentence correction book and doing practice problems.I didn’t improve much on either section despite putting in some quality time, so I got frustrated and shelved my study wondering if business school was right for me. A few months back, a friend recommended that I pick up GMAT Clarity as she had used it and loved it.I’m midway through my second round of prep and things are going swimmingly. Right from the very beginning I knew this book is what I needed. I worked the first chapters and planned my target score and then planned my course and schedules. All that was very straightforward and made me feel in control and on track for a change.I’m going to complete about 150 hours of prep, looking to go up 100 points. Even just knowing stuff like that is amazing as before I wanted to improve as much as possible but didn’t know the hours it would take. Nor was I organized in my prep each week.The schedules are sweet – they tell you what to do and make sure you prep smart. Taking notes the right way, practicing the right way with the official guide problems, taking sections to reinforce that. Its all really good. Once you see the schedules, you just know they are helping you save time because they are organized and build in prep theory that the author talks about.So, yeah, buy this book. Unless you feel you just have to take a classroom course, this is the perfect thing for prep. Its worth every penny.
After spending thousands of dollars on classes and books by the most popular companies, I couldn't crack 650 on several attempts. Fortunately, a friend turned me on to GMAT Clarity and I'm so glad she did. Thanks to the innovative methods of the book I was able to raise my score to 710! I was able to study at my own pace and on my own time. Great book and an amazing value. Highly recommended!!
