Synopsis
The bad news is, you can't avoid the GMAT torture if you intend to go to graduate business school. Because of the grade inflation that skews GPAs, most graduate business schools now require the GMAT as a way of separating the wheat from the chaff. Now for the good news: By doing well on the GMAT you can overcome years of goofing off in school. A dynamite GMAT score can get you into a graduate program that otherwise wouldn't look twice at you and your C+ GPA. On the other hand, even with a GPA of 4.0 from a top-flight school, you'll be facing some pretty stiff competition, and a high GMAT score could make the difference between being admitted or not.
If you're one of the quarter of a million business school hopefuls taking the GMAT this year, you'll want to use this friendly guide to help you outsmart the competition. Written by long-time test prep coach Suzee Vlk, The GMAT For Dummies offers you an enjoyable way to get quickly up to speed with what you need to know to:
- Fine-tune your test-taking skills
- Bring the right stuff to the test
- Psych out the test
- Spot traps built into test questions
- Figure out the point behind questions
- Make the best educated guesses
- Combat test-taking anxiety
- Use your breaks wisely
- Save time and beat the clock

- Assess your strengths and weaknesses
- Think "the GMAT way"
- Approach different types of questions
- Nail the grammar questions
- Ace the reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions

Review
GMAT scores are an important part of any graduate business-school application, so you need to perform well. Suzee Vlk, long time test-prep specialist and author of several Dummies books, can help. The GMAT for Dummies is packed with useful information and strategies to help you prepare for the test. The book includes advice on how to use the book efficiently (Vlk estimates you'll need 28 hours to work through it), review chapters for all three sections of the exam, and two complete practice exams. Two chapters focusing on the analytical writing assessment portion of the exam will help you write effective essays--and remind you that schools differ regarding the importance of this section. Vlk also offers special advice for "computer illiterates" worried about taking this computer-based exam. In familiar Dummies style, Vlk includes a handy tear-out "Quick Reference Card" with a summary of the most important information and a "Part of Tens" section with "10 Dumb Things You Can Do to Mess Up Your GMAT" and 10 relaxation techniques to use before and during the exam. With its witty writing and helpful icons in the margins pointing out important information, The GMAT for Dummies makes test preparation easy and relatively painless. --C.B. Delaney
