Acknowledgments
Our GMAT course is much more than clever techniques and powerful
computer score reports; the reason our results are great is that our
teachers care so much about their students. Thanks to all the teachers
who have made the GMAT course so successful, but in particular the
core group of teachers and development people who helped get it off
the ground: Alicia Ernst, Tom Meltzer, Paul Foglino, John Sheehan,
Mark Sawula, Nell Goddin, Teresa Connelly, Phillip Yee, Kimberly

Beth Hollings worth, Bobby Hood, Chris Chimera, Chris Hinkle, Peter
Hanink, and Cathy Evins.
Special thanks to John Fulmer and Kyle Fox for their valuable
contributions to the 2020 edition of this book.
Special thanks to Adam Robinson, who conceived of and perfected
the Joe Bloggs approach to standardized tests and many of the other
successful techniques used by The Princeton Review.
We are also, as always, very appreciative of the time and attention
given to each page by Gabriel Berlin, Emma Parker, and Liz Dacey.
