Great workbook for MBA leadership class
We're using Kouzes & Posner's "The Leadership Challenge" book (among others) in our MBA Leadership and Management Processes class.This workbook, although not required, should be.There are lots of checklists, worksheets, questionaires, etc. that lead you through applying the concepts presented in the book. ...

Kaplan is Horrible!
I got the book.Signed up for the website.Then didn't have time to study for a while because of work.When I finally had time to use the book and study, my internet access (where a lot of important suppliments are) was cut off because it was passed the assumed amount of time.I tried getting it restored, but Kaplan was no help.
Not 800, but not bad
GMAT 800 is a very popular book. Whoever at Kaplan came up with the name ought to get a raise and an immediate promotion to the head of the marketing department. Everybody wants an 800, and we'd all like to think that working really hard through the materials in one book will get us there.
Good overview after you have completed all other preperation books
I think this book gives a good overview of the main concepts.This book needs to be completed after you have other GMAT materials, e.g. Kaplat GMAT guide, the Official GMAT Review.The quantitative section covers many of the questions that are very similar to the ones you see in the actual GMAT.These tough questions in quant really helps.The quant questions in the actual GMAT are much harder than the practice questions in official review.However this book covers many of the tougher questions. ...

Five Stars!
Perfect text for those who do not have an organic chemistry background and need a quick run down of the basics of oranic chemistry.

Awesome!!!!
I didn't read the book but knowing the person, I know that the book should be great.

Organic Chemistry is doable!
This is an EXCELLENT book that I think should be a MUST for anyone considering taking Organic Chemistry. It is written by a fellow student, who knows what people struggle with. He even gives some background review on concepts from Inorganic Chemistry which is very helpful. Organic Chemistry is a demanding, fast faced, often confusing and frustrating subject, even for the most intelligent. The author states that clearly, that it is a hard topic, but it is also one that the average person can succeed in if they put in the time and effort. I found this book to be inspirational, and gives you a clear idea of what you will be heading into when you walk into Organic chemistry the first day, and it is alright to be nervous about it, as almost everyone is. ...

Going Back to College...
I'm 35 and studying for a COMPASS test (college entrance exam for those who never took the ACT/SAT).I failed Algebra in High School, skipped classes alot, and remembered absolutely nothing, but I have a good head for numbers and logic, so I've found myself able to understand most of the concepts in this book so far.If you have no head for numbers, or feel that you aren't good with logic problems/eyeballing math questions, then you may want to also purchase the "Algebra For Dummies", as this book only *briefly* goes into each concept.
Algebra for Dummies Workbook
I have gone back to college after 20 years and need to take a College Algebra course.This workbook has been very helpful in reviewing things I went over a very long time ago and making sense out of them.I highly recommend it.

Calculus Workbook for Dummies
I think this book is very informative and provides for a clear understanding of fundamental Calculus that ordinary text books just cannot compete with.

WOW!I never knew how much I forgot!
Trying to make George W. Bush happy with his No Child Left Behind, I decided to seek a highly qualified status in mathmatics.This book was a refresher for me as I have to bone up on all aspects of mathamatics.It is a very simplified and step by step overview of the 'meat' of calculus.I wouldn't reccommend this if you wanted to get a very involved look at the subject material, but for an overview or refresher, this works admirably. ...

Working the Muse to Creative Delight
A brand new creative tool for the artistic life. New tools and guidance from artist's way creator Julia Cameron. Excellent for the journey along with Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and all the other goodies that Cameron has shared to artists around the world since 1992. Give the gift of the creative heart to yourself... you will be surprised in your dreams! I had heard of the Artist's Way in college and read a copy from time to time but when I really applied the practice in 2004 ... Cameron's informal mentoring did the trick to unblock my creative expression. My artistic dreams were focused on literary pursuits but a sudden interest in singing caught a life of its own when I joined a formal Artist's Way group composed of 7 people. Before I knew it the practice lead to a solo performance at a cancer benefit gala show where I sung "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack and was told I sounded alot like her. Nonetheless, if Cameron herself had told me in 2003 that I would be a singer (I've since joined a choir that does fundraisers around the city) ... even I would have laughed! The point is ... if you want your heart to lead the way ... allow the artist to thrive and express itself without intellectual editing ... and see your creative experiences soar! ... Read more

great book
This book really gives a lot of great pointers on how to study for the GRE and it has math equations, word groups, root words as well other great study guides

vocab words for small word turds
This product has greatly helped me improve my vocabulary skills for the GRE.It does a good job of teaching the most effective ways to build your vocabulary for the test in a way that does not involve memorising but instead involves learning.

Kaplan's GRE Verbal Workbook
Although I'm only half-way through this workbook, I 've found it indespensable for any one wishing to increase their English vocabulary and especially for those akin to improve their verbal scores in the GRE.I've already managed to improve my own unofficial scores with the help of this book and I'm very confident that these improved scores will be reflected in the actual GRE.This is a highly recommended source! ...

It's pretty bad
This book isn't completely useless, though it's pretty close.I'd say that a couple of the Logical Reasonig chapters are useful, but that's about it.The games section is completely useless (get the Powerscore Logic Games Bible).
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK - COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME
I have to say I am very disappointed and I may actually take Kaplan up on thier 100% money back policy.I purchased the Kaplan LSAT, Kaplan 180, Powerscore Logic Games Bible, Powerscore Logic Reasoning Bible and started with the Kaplan LSAT.How unfortunate, as Powerscore uses methods 100% more effective, in addition to using real LSAT examples.
NOT real LSAT questions = NOT worth the money
When I started studying for the LSAT I didn't fully understand the importance of studying with REAL LSAT questions. I purchased the basic Kaplan LSAT book + Kaplan 180. the basic Kaplan book was a COMPLETE waste of money, and the Kaplan 180 was little better. The questions just aren't from actual LSATs, and they simply aren't the same. Furthermore, the books were riddled with typos. If I could do it all over again in a more cost effective manner here is what I would get, respectively:

A good help for any struggling Math student
This book helped me achieve a higher score after I went through half the workbook. I increased my math score from a 610 to 700 in 3 weeks. This book does do wonders. However, some of the explainations of the problems and how to work them are vauge and really don't give you a sense on how to apply them to other problems with the same underlying concept. In conjunction with this book, I would have to recommend Kaplan's SAT 1600 and Kaplan's SAT II Math IC for mastery of harder questions and for more review.

Vague Explanations
This book contains very good practice material but the explanations to the answer choices are very vague and difficult to understand.
Buy this book!
I would definately recommend that you buy this book.The practice that it gave me was extremely helpful, as well as the "SAT Math in a Nutshell" section.The format was easy to follow and true to the SAT, giving me plenty of practice, and help where I needed it.It improved my math SAT score 50 points - from 630 to 680.And I only did about half of the book!Imagine if I had worked through the whole thing.It's not hard, however - the book is designed so that you only tackle one (approximately) 30-minute section at a time.Just remember - for best results, make sure that you start using this book 3 weeks to a month ahead of time.Read more

Great instructional tool
This is an excellent book for both teachers and tutors alike. I use it for both remedial and enrichment for the many different levels I am tutoring. The "Putting It All Together" chapters at the end of each unit are really great. The answer to each question is given along with the corresponding lesson so the student knows exactly which skills need to be practiced. I would highly recommend this outstanding book.

8th grade reading comprehension
It is a very effective, well organized workbook that divides the sections to encourage manageable study.

Teach Yourself Illustrator
If you don't have the time or the money to take a lengthy class on Adobe Illustrator, just buy this book.There are a lot of instructional books out there for Illustrator and other Adobe programs, but this is by far the best and most concise.It includes a CD with lessons and images, and if you start at the beginning and plow through it, you'll learn Illustrator competently enough to get you up and running with the program.

Illustrator CS training guide
This workbook is incredibly useful for gaining a thorough understanding of Adobe Illustrator.Shortcuts are introduced throughout the lessons and extra information is included in grey text boxes in the book along the way.Lessons are outlined well in the table of contents for quick reference.

Want a high score?You still might not want this book
The fact that this book contains a formidable 15 exams, dwarfing its competitors in the sheer number of tests offered, alone makes this book a valuable purchase for somebody seeking a VERY high score on the Math IIC.If your target score is not above a 750, this is not the book for you.I am a very good math student and could not finish a single exam, and my highest score was a 700 flat.I highly recommend buying this book in tandem with Kaplan Math IIC.Kaplan is notoriously easier than Barrons or Princeton (neither of which are as hard as this).Do as many Meylani tests as you can, then with 5 days before the exam, do a few Kaplan exams to get your confidence up, as Kaplan is largely accurate to the actual exam.Using the Meylani was very helpful to me, and made the actual exam seem significantly easier than it would have been otherwise.

Overprep but smart and very helpful
This book makes you feel as if you are about to have a heart attack while doing the tests. But on the test day you feel very confident when you see the real questions and you start to ask yourself, "Hey, will the hard questions ever show up?" Your scores and timing should not discourage you while doing the tests in this book (my highest score was 680 but I still managed to get my 800). Here is a hint, the easy questions in this book are the standard ones you will be seeing in the real test. There will be only two - three questions similar to the ones in this book. Nevertheless, my advice is to go over all questions and their solutions. And, the way this book overpreps you is better than other's, especially the Barron's one.

Excellent Prep for 2C.
There are 15 tests in this book, they are hard but they have prepared me very well for the real test. ... Read more

Understanding and Using English Grammar (Third Edition)
I have used this outstanding book with international students for several years, but it would be helpful if the Answer Key were available from Amazon.

Grammar is difficult
With this book is it possible to learn the english grammar.
Clear and easily understandable
The geniuses that controlled my education decided that I should skip fourth grade reading because they caught me reading Mark Twain in third grade. I can't imagine what in the WORLD they were thinking, as I came to learn years later that in fourth grade reading they taught - you guessed it - grammar! And boy, did I suffer. My written grammar was absolutely horrendous for years, and even though I continued to be placed in advanced or honors English classes throughout high school, whenever my papers were returned to me the "concept" side came back with an A, and the "grammar" side came back with a D or an F.Read more
