About the ManhattanGMAT Strategy Guides

The ManhattanGMAT Strategy Guides offer students a unique balance between two competing emphases: test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Most prep courses focus on the strategic portion of the GMAT - timing, shortcuts, etc. However, we believe that unless a student has a solid understanding of the content, the tricks won't be of any use. Therefore, we include practice problem sets that build specific foundational skills in each topic as well as advanced content that many other prep books ignore.

From the Back Cover

What Students Are Saying: "The 7 Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides are excellent. They cover tons of great strategies and tips for taking the exam, and they avoid irrelevant information. I like that each guide provides its own questions and analysis, outside of official GMAT problems." "The guides are excellent in explaining what is actually tested on the GMAT. The strategies used to handle each specific area were excellent and very practical. The materials addressed things in very fine detail."
