1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title!
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2011
Verified Purchase
Very disappointed with this purchase. The title is completely ill concieved. Only 20 or so of the tips actually pertain to improving your GMAT performance. Even those are pretty basic, common sense things. The other 80% of the book contains scattered musings about careers, management, and school. All well intentioned stuff, but absolutely doesn't belong in a book with this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great career resource for students and professionals
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2008
Whether a recent college graduate or veteran from the 9 to 5 trenches, "101 Ways to Score Higher on Your GMAT" by Arlene Connolly will aid individuals in assessing their suitability and candidacy for graduate school to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. While the book covers career goals, finding an MBA program and what to expect during grad school, the primary focus is on the two admission exams: the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

Although some of the concepts outlined in the book's early chapters have little to do with a master's degree, they are valuable reminders about how to be a successful employee at any level. Qualities such as leadership, integrity and strong communication skills will aid in achieving goals whether on the job, in the classroom or in society. The sections on job hunting, preparing resumes and joining professional memberships offer practical, timely tips for individuals at any point in their careers.

For those who are on the fence about continuing their education, the book outlines the positive and negative factors in pursuing an MBA. Several chapters detail what to expect from graduate school, educational alternatives, job expectations for managers, career opportunities and financial factors. Both arguments are logical, factual and realistic. The real value for readers is in considering Connolly's insights and honestly assessing whether or not they are ready to make the commitment.

The second half of the book covers the admission process for getting into business school. Connolly covers everything from how to choose a school to marketing oneself as a candidate. In addition to a comprehensive overview written in an easy-to-read style, the author provides practical strategies and resources. The chapters on the GRE and GMAT give readers a thorough understanding of the testing process, content and how to prepare for the exams.

"101 Ways to Score Higher on Your GMAT" is a valuable resource for recent college graduates and individuals considering a career change. It's viability as a professional resource will last far beyond achieving an MBA; the sage wisdom and commonsense advice will always have a place on the bookshelves of truly successful managers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Study Aid for the MBA Program
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2008
Determining if the pursuit of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is the right academic choice for your specific career path requires considerable introspection and self assessment of a wide variety of professional skill sets and social attributes, along with an enormous amount of commitment, both professionally and personally. This includes the objective and comprehensive inspection of strengths, weaknesses, and experience. Additionally, a self examination of your specific motivations for choosing a career in management is necessary, as is determining your qualifications as a viable candidate for business school.

Once you've completed the various processes involved in reaching the decision to pursue an advanced degree in business management, the next step is to begin the application process for admission into a desired MBA program. The successful completion of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), along with a Graduate Record Examination (GRE), is required for the submission of an application for enrollment into graduate school to obtain your MBA. 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your GMAT, written by Arlene Connolly, is a concise preparatory guide for achieving optimal scores when taking these two standardized tests, while also providing a plethora of information regarding the literal graduate school experience (areas of study, curriculum, etc.). This book provides an exhaustive amount of information, resources, and guidance necessary to support the excellence for the most successful MBA student, even offering a brief discussion of the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) program.

This expansive guide aides readers in successfully advancing within their respected fields of management, while subsequently suggesting several options for possible changes in occupational direction, as afforded by obtaining an MBA. It provides an extensive view into the many challenges involved in the daily professional life of those in various management positions and lends direction to increase the manager's specific corporate viability. Methods for assessment of specific business school choices are also contained within the text, including the idea of exploring distance learning programs, along with supportive resources for obtaining funding for the MBA education and practical advice for completion of the official application process. Sample examination questions are provided for the student to practice their approach to taking the GMAT and explanatory support is provided for score report assessment. Additionally, detailed web and print resources are included in the bibliography to further assist the student in their achievement of optimal test performance. 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your GMAT aptly deserves a 5-star rating; I would strongly recommend this invaluable guide as a reference for anyone considering pursuing a career in business management. Simply outlined, but very detailed, this book is superior in offering extensive preparation, guidance, and support to ensure a confident and ready GMAT testee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for Students
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2008
As I am a student currently searching for a career path, reading this book helped me see some of the possibilities that could potentially be the right path for me. Not only does this book give advice on how to score higher on your GMAT, it also gives advice on how to be a part of a business, and how to run a business.
I found this book to be very informative with ideas that could be helpful throughout day to day life for anyone. The author gives information from writing your admissions essay, to completing an impeccable resume, to succeeding in a job interview to your maximum potential. The author also discusses how to deal with different personality types in the world of business, which I feel is always useful to know, even if you are not planning on starting a business.
This book will be looked at in the future as a guide to help me go farther in a career than I had ever imagined. Reading it gives me the information needed to succeed, and the incentive to try harder. I recommend this book to anyone who is in need of guidance for any school or work situation.
