But the book isn&#8217;t perfect, of course&#8211;no test prep book is. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at this book, its features, its merits, and its minor gimmicks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Structure of the Book<\/h2>\n<p>Manhattan GMAT Advanced Quant has an organized, patterned layout. Appropriately, you could almost call the setup of the chapters <em>mathematical<\/em>. The introduction is playfully labeled &#8220;Chapter 0.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Next come four chapters that focus on the two major question formats in GMAT Quant: Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. Chapters 1 and 2 cover principles and strategies\/tactics for Problem Solving. And from there, Data Sufficiency gets its own principles and strategies\/tactics chapters. In Manhattan terminology, &#8220;principles&#8221; refer to broad approaches that apply to all or most problems in a given question format. Principles discussed include making sure you understand every bit of information in the problem, doing your work on scratch paper, etc&#8230;. Strategies\/tactics in this book include backsolving, picking numbers, eliminating answer choices through logic, and so on. The four chapter rundown of the principles, tactics, and strategies for top accuracy in PS and DS is labelled as &#8220;Part 1&#8221; of Manhattan GMAT Advanced Quant.<\/p>\n<p>Part 2 consists of Chapters 5 through 8. The second part of Manahattan GMAT Advanced Quant covers a variety of math concepts and ideas that are equally important in Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. This part can be seen as a general field guide to GMAT Quant. Immediately after that comes the similarly holistic Part 3. Part 3 consists of just one long chapter. Chapter 9, called &#8220;workout sets,&#8221; is exactly what it sounds like. This final chapter is an extended section of GMAT Quant practice problems.<\/p>\n<h2>The Good<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Excellent writing<\/strong><br \/>\nThis may sound of secondary importance in math instruction. But if you&#8217;ve ever read an unbearably dry math tutorial, you know how important good writing is. Manhattan GMAT Advanced Quant is conversational, easy to understand, and breaks down concepts clearly and helpfully<\/li>\n<p><strong>Good examples<\/strong><br \/>\nThis book uses a lot of terms and ideas you may not have seen elsewhere. But it defines every novel idea clearly, with examples of how these ideas can be applied to real GMAT Quant questions. For instance, in Chapter 0, the book talks about the idea of using your &#8220;top-down brain&#8221; and your &#8220;bottom-up brain.&#8221; The book doesn&#8217;t just explain that &#8220;top down&#8221; refers to deductive logic while &#8220;bottom up&#8221; refers to intuition and snap judgments. It also has multiple flow charts showing how these two kinds of human thought can be used together to solve difficult math problems, step-by-step.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Covers all the strategy bases<\/strong><br \/>\nEvery aspect of math approach and strategy is in here. I can&#8217;t think of a single &#8220;go to&#8221; trick of my own as a tutor that this book doesn&#8217;t also teach. And the book had countless additional insights I now plan to share with my students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Very GMAT-like practice questions<\/strong><br \/>\nAs with other Manhattan materials, the Quant problems here are spot on. A wide variety of question types are represented, with focus on medium-and-harder difficulties. And within that range, the format, conventions, and tone of the practice sets match very well to the real GMAT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insightful answer explanations<\/strong><br \/>\nThe answer explanations are thorough, accounting for the reasons behind every right and wrong answer. In addition, multiple approaches and strategies are explored in the explanations. I would say that the explanations here are even more complete than the also-wonderful Quant explanations in other Manhattan books.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bad<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Relatively light on academic content<\/strong><br \/>\nThe formulas, theorems, patterns and so on that are used in GMAT Quant are touched on here, but they aren&#8217;t really the focus. Admittedly, in the introduction, the writers say this book is for test-takers who are already fairly knowledgeable about math, and want to up their game. But even the best GMAT Quant students can forget a formula or math fact now and again. So an index reviewing the academic facts would have been a nice addition to the book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The book is more &#8216;general purpose&#8217; than it claims to be<\/strong><br \/>\nThis isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing. But when the introduction indicates that the book is only for people who&#8217;ve scored a 47 or higher in GMAT Quant, it&#8217;s a bit misleading. Manhattan GMAT Advanced Math, when paired with <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gmat\/manhattan-gmat-math-guides-1-5-book-review\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">other Manhattan GMAT math books<\/a> that are more content heavy, could be helpful even to beginner and intermediate GMAT math scholars.<\/p>\n<h2>Further Reading and Resources<\/h2>\n<p>This book is just one of many possible resources you can use as you reach for your GMAT target score.
