Equations, Inequalities, and VICs (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 the various forms (and disguises)
of algebra on the GMAT, and practice fundamental techniques and strategies
to solve for unknown variables in any context.
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.

Each chapter is followed by 15 challenging practice problems, progressively increasing in difficulty and designed to increase your ability from novice to expert in the given topic. Answers with comprehensive explanations follow each problem set.
*A special chapter provides specific strategies for attacking GMAT Data Sufficiency Problems that involve the use of Equations, Inequalities, & VIC's. Data Sufficiency problems are uniquely challenging problems that account for more than one-third of the quantitative problems you will see on the GMAT.
*After mastering the Equation, Inequality, & VIC topics and completing Manhattan GMAT's comprehensive problem sets, you can test your knowledge on Equation, Inequality, & VIC problems that have appeared on past GMAT exams. These problems are contained in The Official Guides For GMAT Review (sold separately), published by GMAC, the organization that administers the GMAT.
