GMAT Club Updates Their GMAT ToolKit iPhone App

The GMAT ToolKit, a leading mobile GMAT Prep application developed by GMAT Club, has just been featured by Apple® on its “What’s Hot” list. The iPhone® app is part of an ongoing project by GMAT Club to bring high-quality design and execution into the mobile test prep space. The ToolKit was originally released several months ago and has since undergone 3 updates to include additional features requested by users.

Today, the app is no longer a simple GMAT Timer, but a leading GMAT prep tool that includes:

• QUESTION SETS - application comes pre-installed with 111 Hard Quant questions and also includes an option to download free additional SC questions from the GMAT Club forum.
• FORUM - direct access to GMAT Club’s forum using enhanced navigation features.
• BOOKS - a must-have grader/error/time log for Official GMAC books
• TIMER - the most sophisticated GMAT Timer specifically designed for GMAT preparation.
• IDIOMS - an adaptive system to test your knowledge of 240 idioms.
• VOICES - save prep time by getting recommendations from over 78,000 GMAT Club members.
• MATH - detailed review of Absolute Value, Triangles, Circles, Coordinate Geometry, Standard Deviation and Probability.
• RESOURCES - links to the most important topics in the GMAT and MBA community.
• NEWS - receive 2 GMAT questions daily with our “Question of the Day” tool, use the embedded RSS Reader to manage your own feeds and stay current on the latest GMAT and MBA news.

Just in case this is not impressive enough, new features and improvements are constantly being added which owners of the app will receive for free.

The latest version of the GMAT ToolKit will enable users to easily add custom content and questions to their iPhone or iPod Touch, significantly expanding test preparation options and moving beyond traditional learning styles.

My Recommendation on a Scale of 1-10: 10

I personally think this is the best comprehensive GMAT Prep application in the app store.

New Math Workbook

On Saturday, after my session with Gerry, I decided I needed a little bit more help with Math so I purchased Kaplan's GMAT Math Workbook, 6th Edition. I mean it says "Higher Score Guaranteed" right there on the cover so it must be good right? I'm such a sucker for new books!

Geometry Resources

As I mentioned in my most recent post, I'm in the middle of a comprehensive Geometry review. Here is one more resource that I'm using from 800Score.com. I reformatted the material to go into a word document which I'm sure you'll thank me for later. I'll add more resources from 800Score.com as I get to them.

Geometry Overview Begins

This past weekend I started a comprehensive overview of Geometry using the following materials:

- Notes from the session on Geometry with my GMAT Tutor Gerry Kramer

- Handouts from the session with Gerry

- The geometry section in the Official Guide for GMAT Review 12th Edition

- The geometry section in Master the GMAT 2010 by Peterson (contact me if you need this in PDF format)

Progress has been slow so far because I've only gotten through the section on Triangles! Oh well, I guess I'll need to study more intently tonight.

GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible

About to start reading GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible by PowerScore. I was able to find a copy of it on the web for free but the quality of the pdf file is somewhat lacking.

Algebra Success in 20 Minutes a Day

Completed the Pretest for this eBook and got 7/50 wrong. My mistakes were stupid errors but I do need to go back and review division of square roots and the quadratic formula. I decided not to go through the entire eBook.
