In order to attain the high GMAT scores needed to get into the top business schools of their choice, an increasing number of prospective b-school candidates are taking the GMAT more than once. But how does one go about acing the test for the first time or bolstering a second attempt? The book is a distillation of the experiences of a veteran test-prep instructor, MBA Admissions coach, author and education raconteur. It offers a philosophy built on two simple but powerful propositions:
* Identify the principles behind classic problem types.
* Succeed first by not getting the easy questions wrong and then go on to get the difficult questions right!
Ace the GMAT contains two of the author's own inventions: The Big Seven Number Cracker for open-ended variable problems in Data Sufficiency and the Four-Corner Question Cracker for Reading Comprehension questions.
