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
Hollingsworth, Bobby Hood, Chris Chimera, Chris Hinkle, Peter Hanink,
and Cathy Evins.
Special thanks to John Fulmer, Kyle Fox, Jim Havens, Ted Klein, and
Keith Hehr for their valuable contributions to the 2019 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 Liz Rutzel, Jim Melloan, and Deborah Weber.
