The Official Guide for GMAT Review 2017

In addition to taking one of our test preparation courses, obtaining a copy of the Official Guide for GMAT Review 2017 is by far the next best step to preparing for the GMAT. This is the only study guide developed by the test creators, and includes real GMAT questions with thoroughly written answers. In the Official Guide for GMAT Review 2017, you will find a diagnostic test to help you decide where to focus your test-prep efforts, 900+ questions from past exams and 130 new questions organized by the level of difficulty with answer explanations, as well as access to online practice materials, a comprehensive math review, and numerous Analytical Writing Assessment topics.

Some of the questions found in commercially-available GMAT practice books are just not comparable. Many of these practice books, found in virtually every bookstore, have mistakes and address topics that are unrelated to what you will see on the actual exam. These commercially-available practice books contain many typos, some of the answers are transposed or just plain wrong, and much of the popular Internet material is loaded with mistakes. None of these problems exist with the Official Guide for GMAT Review 2017. Every serious GMAT candidate should own a copy.

Luckily, students registered in one of our 48-hour courses will receive this book (a $45.00 value) at no additional charge. Since this book is rarely found in bookstores and ordering it individually from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is both expensive and time-consuming, students enrolled in our 22-hour courses may purchase copies of the 2017 guide at the course itself.

Terms and Conditions:

1. All 22-hour GMAT courses take place 6:00pm - 10:00pm Friday, 9:00am - 6:00pm Saturday, 9:00am - 6:00pm Sunday (Zoom courses follow the same schedule and take place in Central Time)

(Zoom courses follow the same schedule and take place in Central Time)
3. The Thursday evening classes are optional sessions, free for all students registered in the 48-hour course, where a full-length practice GMAT is administered with actual test conditions carefully reproduced. This provides students an excellent opportunity to practice the techniques learned during the weekend course.
4. Tuition can be refunded if notice of cancellation is made at least two weeks in advance. Tuition, minus the $95 deposit, will be refunded if you withdraw from, or change any course you are registered in, less than two weeks in advance and prior to or on the first day of instruction. 
5. Save $50 off the cost of the course by registering with full payment at least 28 days prior to the start date of the course.

If course locations and/or dates change, you are entitled to a full refund of registration fees and tuition if you don’t agree to the change.
