San Francisco, CA – February 1, 2011– Ender Markal, a professional math tutor in San Francisco who has helped over 300 students, announces the release of his GMAT Math Workbook (Barron’s, 2011), a complete resource for the quantitative section of the GMAT. The book covers all concepts included in the test and provides a comprehensive review of math basics with hundreds of GMAT quality practice problems with detailed explanations. Review copies are available upon request.

GMAT preparation is critical as gaining admission to top business schools becomes harder and more competitive. The 2008-09 test year, for example, set a record with more than 265,000 GMAT tests administered, an 8% increase over the previous year.

GMAT scores help test takers set themselves apart among this growing pool of graduate school candidates, helping recent graduates compensate for a lack of work experience and older test takers counterweigh years spent away from academic work. The GMAT is usually a test taker’s only chance to “make up” for weaker parts of his or her application, enhancing their chances with a more recent indication of their eligibility.

Fortunately, boosting the GMAT score is still within a test taker’s control. With appropriate preparation, test takers can transform the GMAT test to their advantage and present a graduate school application that stands out among many others.

The GMAT Math Workbook goes further than other GMAT preparation books by establishing a clear path between theory and application. Detailed explanations and alternative solutions help test takers connect the dots between concepts and actual questions. The GMAT Math Workbook also shows how to strategically develop a preparatory system months before the exam and how to master GMAT strategies on test day.

Barron’s GMAT Math Workbook contains more subject specific questions, each with detailed explanations. Comprehensive examples ensure that students fully understand each concept before they proceed to self-practice. There are plentiful sidebars with tips and reminders throughout the book focused on carrying out solutions without the aid of a calculator. Extensive sample problems test individual principles and make it easy to see the big picture while focusing on individuals’ weak areas.

Every chapter in the book (arithmetic, algebra, word problems, geometry and data sufficiency) is filled with practice problems and solutions, and two full-length model math tests are included for further practice. The book also offers detailed information on GMAT mechanics, time management/stress saving tips, test preparation and test-day strategies.
