So you wanna get an MBA. Do you have a good GPA? You also need to ace the GMAT CAT. Even if you have only a month to prepare, there's hope. The authors of 30 Days to the GMAT CAT have compiled 30 lessons to help you maximize your score--in about an hour a day. A brief overview of the structure of the exam is followed by detailed information about the Computer-Adaptive Test--from the way the screen will look in the various sections of the actual exam to the way the questions posed reflect your performance. The lessons themselves begin with a list of the day's topics and a brief overview of the lesson. As you work through the book, you'll prepare for the different types of questions (for example, reading comprehension, sentence correction, algebra, and geometry), take eight "mini tests," and spend time reviewing each one using the detailed explanations of the correct answers. During the last week, you'll take the three individual sections of the practice exam and evaluate your results. While additional preparation (including taking full practice exams) would of course be helpful, by the time you complete the program, you will have brushed up your skills and--more importantly--learned strategies to outsmart the GMAT. --C.B. Delaney

Next time, hire an editor.......2002-08-27

I started using this book but switched to the Kaplan and GMAC guides because of the number of editing mistakes I encountered in using this book. Nothing undermines my confidence more than a book that dispenses wrong answers, so for that reason I gave it one star. Save your money - go with the Kaplan guides instead.

Poor Editing. Full of printing errors in the practice tests

Good, but poorly edited and written.......2002-03-10

I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I appreciated the concise and to-the-point style. I found it easier to brush up on my quantitative and verbal skills with this book than with other GMAT books. If you are short on time then this book would be a good choice. However, the sheer volume of errors really bugged the hell out of me. Most of them are stupid editing errors (occurring on virtually every page), but I also found some critical errors with the practice questions. The massive number of mistakes detracted from my ability to study effectively because I was always second-guessing the book. I found this to be an unforgiveable sin for a test prep book and so I only give two stars instead of four.

Packed with real help!.......2001-09-04

I highly recommend this book. Small in price and page length, but packed with practical skill-building materials that don't insult the reader's intelligence. Explanations for practice questions are the most thorough of any GMAT book I've seen. Kudos! What I liked best is that the author provides online support for the book. (Why don't more authors do this?) At the end of each lesson the reader is referred to online materials (at the author's web site) that supplement the lesson. Cool!

Really good for most of the material.......2001-08-03

Arco's GMAT in 30 days is an excellent book for a person intending to raise his/her score by 80-100 points in that timeframe. I took the GMAT and got a score of 730 and 6 in the AWA. This book contains a lot of the information presented really nicely. It however is lacking in two areas. The verbal reasoning explanations are quite difficult to understand and the book doesn't talk much about probability. The other sections are excellent and provide all the information and relevant practice questions. In order to get a good feel for the GMAT though, I found several opinions from different publishers helped, besides, there is so much information out there that I wanted to get as much as I could. I would also recommend Princeton's excellent book with the CD for the other sections. Their Process of Elimination method is really good.

New or existing business owners will find all the essential elements and formulas of a professional business plan, with concrete examples throughout, in this revised guide. Complicated marketing and financial concepts are translated into down-to-earth, practical advice. Included are five updated sample business plans that serve as blueprints for business owners' own plans, with instructions that provide a wealth of detailed information about how a successful small business should operate. Plans are presented for simple, one-person operations, as well as for corporations with many employees. Aspiring business owners learn how to shape a plan to appeal to an intended audience; organize and format a plan in a professional way; describe the ownership, mission, objectives, and keys to success for the business; analyze the business industry, target market, and competition; create a marketing and sales plan; address the important operating processes and personnel issues; create financial statements based on realistic assumptions; and use the business plan as a management tool long after it is completed.

One of my favorite business plan books, and I read many........2006-08-13

I've put together both an Amazon.com guide and booklist regarding business plans, and this book is included in both. In fact, it is listed as one of the top 3 business plan books in my guide. And it would be listed higher in the booklist if the list were not ranked by copyright date rather than content quality. If you are serious about writing a sound business plan for your small business, then definitely get a copy of this book to help you in your endeavor.

Business plans help a small business get off the ground, get financing, and to expand-grow. To do a business plan correctly requires much research and planning, not to mention the effort to write it all up. The book is split into two parts. Part I is an 86-page treatise on the nuts and bolts of business plans. It is really very well written and covers the full range of topics:

1. Product and service description
2. Market analysis, including industry, competition, target customers, and SWOT
3. Marketing and sales plans
4. Financial plans, including balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, breakeven analysis, sales volumes, and profit margins
5. The company summary
6. Operations and management plans
7. How to write it up in 20-30 pages

Part II is comprised of five sample business plans that include:

1. The plan of a young female entrepreneur who wants to start a video production company
2. The plan of a young female entrepreneur who wants to start a coffee cart business
3. Some guys who want to take their knowledge as sprinkler system installers and build a sprinkler installer business of their own and expand upon that into a complete yard-care business that might someday become a home improvement business
4. Some guys who want to be retailers of commercial fitness equipment in a big way
5. Some guys who want to be retailers and service providers for building elevator systems

The first two business plans require minimal start up costs. The third plan requires more than minimal start up costs. And the last two business plans require significant start up costs.

I really liked the book. As a SCORE counselor I recommend it regularly to my "clients." I would have liked the book better if the sample business plans had appeared to be better researched. I also was turned off a bit by the extent of copy and pasting done in the sample business plans. But for all I know, real-world business plans at the entrepreneurial level have a certain "homegrown" feel rather than the polished ones I am used to seeing in large corporate merger and acquisition files.

Book Description

Contemporary studies on social structure and the world political economy tend to be concerned primarily with present conditions and what these promise--or threaten for the future of the planet. The authors of this volume have taken a less fashionable stance, looking instead to the recent past and the pivotal historical moments that have formed the world we live in. Consisting of fourteen essays contributed by an international group of specialists, Rethinking the Nineteenth Century examines the social formations of that period and integrates them into a modern theoretical framework. The broad issues of class and state formation, imperialism and nationalism, and ascent and decline in the world system are the central focus of the book.

Book Description

Demystifies all the major marketing theories and converts them to useful objectives, case studies, and summaries.

An integration of microeconomic concept into mood problems.......2003-11-05

The author has attempted to integrate the investment concepts, like resource perception, risk perception and etc among the depressed or manic people. Such concepts has broadened the reader about the future perception and related cognitive biases in the mood disorder. However, the direct integration into practical intervention still needs more exploration in future.
