It starts with a diagnostic test (37q and 41v questions). There are a total of 55 different \"drills\" targeting various interesting and often neglected areas. The format for Math is not just standard multiple choice, but actually 50% of the quant questions are Data Sufficiency, so one can practice both questions types - PS and DS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book Contents and Question Split:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quant:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li> Arithmetic (terminology, percents, multiples, fractions, ratios, factors, decimals) - 70 questions<\/li>\n<li> Algebra (equations and inequalities, plugging in, pita, quadratics, must be true, Yes\/No DS, roots, interest, functions, powers) - 163 questions<\/li>\n<li>Statistics, Probability, and Combinations (averages, median, mode, range, stdev, rate, factorials, probability, permutations and combinations, groups) - 117 questions<\/li>\n<li>Geometry (lines and angles, triangles, quadraliterlas, circles, 3D figures, coordinate geometry, inscribed figures and shaded regions) - 100 questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li> Quant Subtotal: 450<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verbal:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>RC - 30 passages and 150 questions (5 questions per passage)<\/li>\n<li>SC (subject\/verb agreement, tenses, pronouns, parallel, modifiers, idioms, mixed) - 175 questions<\/li>\n<li>CR (weaken, strengthen, assumption, inference, evaluate, ID reasoning, resolve\/explain, mixed) - 159 questionss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li> Verbal Subtotal: 484<\/li>\n<li><strong> Total: 934 + diagnostic test (78) = 1,012<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>I am giving Kudos for these sections: factorials, probability, combinations, groups, Yes\/No DS, assumption, and parallel structure questions. These areas are often neglected by test prep companies and I am thrilled to see a guide that actually addresses these.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Issues I have with this book:<\/strong><br \/>\n- Random House used cheap paper - as always<br \/>\n- RC section is structured by topic (humanities, science, etc rather than by type of questions)<br \/>\n- Verbal questions are a bit off (esp. CR) but that's to be expected<br \/>\n- Could use more 700-level questions but there are a few in each section<\/p>\n<p><strong>See my other reviews for overview of the latest GMAT Books:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fcdp%2Fmember-reviews%2FA37G2QHT5VUD2J%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Fdp%255Fauth%255Frev%26sort%255Fby%3DMostRecentReview&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">Amazon Reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/top-gmat-prep-books-guides-reviews-comments-77703.html\">Best GMAT Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Princeton Review 1,012 GMAT Practice Questions (Look up details on Amazon) The book indeed contains 1,012 questions &#8211; counted myself :).
