The syllabus on the following pages lists the topics and homework assignments for each week s verbal

and math classes. Verbal homework is due by the next verbal class, and math homework at the next math

class. There are three types of assignments given each week:

Manual Homework: Manual refers to the Princeton Review Inclass GMAT Manual, Quantitative Review

and Verbal Review (Version 9.0 3 books). Each week youll have pre class assignments from these manuals.

These readings and drills prepare you for the upcoming lesson, so its very important that you complete

them before each class. Answers and explanations are provided at the end of each chapter. You will also

have post lesson practice sections. These sections provide additional practice with the topics covered in

the lessons.

Official Guide Homework: Official Guide refers to the Official Guide for GMAT Review, 13th Edition (the

blue book). These questions allow you to practice the Princeton Review strategies that you have learned

in class, by working on real GMAT problems. The first section is a diagnostic test and the rest of the guide

is divided into sections by question type.
