THE APPROACH: The approach used in this book is a systematic,
skill-building methodology, one that begins with a simple
presentation of skills in the lessons and ends with tests that
consist of GMAT-style questions at the difficulty level of the
actual test. This is an approach that has been tried out over
decades, and it is an approach that works In each lesson, one skill
is presented using examples containing easier language than the
language found on a GMAT to ensure that the targeted skill is
clear. A skills practice exercise follows each skill presentation,
using language that is at the difficulty level of the GMAT but is
in a single-sentence format that makes the practice easier than
GMAT-style questions. The materials then progress to GMAT-style
skills practice exercises that are at the level of the actual test
but cover only the material from that particular lesson. Thorough
explanations follow each skills practice exercise and each
GMAT-style practice exercise. After all the individual lessons have
been mastered, GMAT-style tests are presented. These GMAT-style
tests contain questions that cover points from each of the lessons.
These questions are at the difficulty level of the GMAT and contain
the same selection of skills as the GMAT. Thorough explanations
follow each skills practice exercise and each GMAT-style test. THE
CONTENTS: The book includes a lesson section and a test section.
The lesson section includes twelve individual lessons (Nouns,
Pronouns, and Possessives, Agreement, Parallelism, Comparisons,
Verbs, Modifiers, Sentences, Wordiness, Awkwardness, Diction,
Idioms, and Clarity) that are based on an exhaustive study of the
points tested on official released GMAT tests; any point that
appears on this list has appeared numerous times on official
released versions of the test. Each of the twelve lessons includes
a presentation, a skills practice exercise with thorough
explanations, and a GMAT-style practice exercise with thorough
explanations. The test section includes six GMAT-style tests with
twelve questions in each (Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, Test 4, Test 5,
and Test 6) with thorough explanations for each correct and
incorrect answer.
