 Improved my score by 50 pts December 19, 2008
Great book to use in conjunction with a more introductory study guide. If you want to score 700+, definitely invest in this book!
Extra tough workout, very helpful December 18, 2008
I first read the book Kaplan GMAT Premier Program, performing the exercises included. As a result, my practice scores increased to an average of about 85% correct, but I simply could not get them any higher. However, the GMAT 800 book allowed me to ace those extra-hard questions I simply could not figure out before. The majority of the questions really do seem like a breeze now.
 Not good December 9, 2008
Not at all a good use of time. A good example of this is how they have one question per reading comprehension passage. There are many other examples of inefficiency. Overall, just not a very useful or effective book.
I've used many different books for gmat preparation and the Kaplan books have been by far the worst. Kaplan's flagship book for the test, the Premier Program 2009, is absolutely terrible - I've never read any book of any kind with as many errors and typos. The problem with the gmat 800 book is not rampant erros and mistakes but a general lack of helpfulness. Unfortunely, Kaplan has really gone down hill.
 Good for small tips and tricks... November 28, 2008
This is definitely worth the money before you take the test! You will learn a lot of small tips and tricks, and the verbal section will help you (more than the math section). Make sure you read the essay and verbal section carefully and get everything you can out of it. While this book is not perfect, you should probably invest the money before you take the test.
Good Luck!
Got me a 760. October 14, 2008

I didn't want some text that would be a waste of time. Instead, I wanted something that would prepare me for the format of the exam while, at the same time, helping me with any finer points on the specific stragety for the exam.
The text was a great choice because it only shows the most difficult problems, and then explains how they arrived at the "correct" answer. Naturally, I found some to be easy and others quite challenging. In the end, it made the GMAT very easy to take, and appears to have gotten me a good score (just took it this AM).
I would recommend to anyone who considers themself a smart person.
