A very good MBA partner
This is an extremely well written book packed with tons of useful advice. If you're about to start an MBA and are looking for general advice on how to prepare for your studies, then you'll find this product particularly useful.The only downside (and minor one at that) to the book is that it perhaps tries to cover too much. For example, there is a section on how to exercise during study breaks. Personally, I'd refer to a more specific fitness book if I wanted such advice. Had the book not tried to cover too much and given a little more depth in one or two areas, then I would have awarded a full five stars.A book you'll constantly refer to during your MBA studies, and keep at arms reach throughout your career. The fact that this book has spent very little time on my bookshelf, but instead has spent most of the time actually beside me, is an indication of how I value the book.

MBA Handbook review
A decent piece of material. I purchased it in order to gain a better understanding of what I'm getting myself into. The book didnt have any information on the gmat and the pre-course content was about 30 pages, although 30 very good pages. I would reccommend this book to people who have already begun their studies rather than still deciding on things.
