Offers Some Utility but not Critical The utility of this book is up for debate I would say. I just took my GMAT today and while this book was ultimately helpful for some questions I found that I was not 'stumped' by the OG's answer explanations very often.

I was able to hit well above that 700 mark thankfully and made it into a top 15 business school.
