45 of 46 people found the following review helpful:  3.5 Stars Actually, By RegGuyTX (Huntsville, TX USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cracking the GMAT, 2008 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback) I thought this book was pretty good for the review portions. It helped me relearn a lot of math (especially) that I had forgotten over the past 15+ years. However, the practice tests in the The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition Official Guide were better. Those are old questions from actual tests.
As I wrote in my Official Guide review, the best thing you can do is to download the free (as free as the $250 you just paid to take the test) practice tests from the GMAT site. They look and feel exactly like the real test. I believe the reason I scored 70 points higher then when I took the practice test was because I was more comfortable with the process. It wasn't because I got smarter over the 36 hour period between the practice and real tests. 37 of 39 people found the following review helpful:  Good Intro to the GMAT, but inadequate for people seeking higher GMAT scores, By BeatTheGMAT.com (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cracking the GMAT, 2010 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback) I self studied and scored a 770 on the GMAT. Here are my thoughts on Princeton Review's Cracking the GMAT book:
===== OVERVIEW ===== The Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT book is, like the Kaplan GMAT 2010 Premier Live Online book, a general GMAT strategy guide. However, apart from the natural similarities (such as separate chapters for the 5 types of problems you will see on the GMAT plus an essay section), the two books follow markedly different "paths to knowledge". As advertised from the beginning, The Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT is not a guide that emphasizes building subject-matter skills in the quantitative or verbal fields, but rather focuses on what the authors call "cracking the system" - tips and tricks to help you score higher with an obvious preference for process of...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful:  frustrating, By This review is from: Cracking the GMAT, 2009 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback) I'm in the midst of studying to take the GMAT test and have been using the Princeton Review "Cracking the GMAT 2009 Edition".
This book does some good teaching. Lots of basic knowledge that I had forgotten in the years since high school and college math. However, significant amounts of the book are more about how to take the GMAT test, not on teaching the basic skills. When it does impart important information, it mostly just encourages you to memorize formulas while not following through on why the formulas are important. Most frustrating is that the book contains many typos and misinformation. It is maddening that the test questions require so much attention to detail, and that the editors apparently did not use the same level in proofing the book. There have been numerous examples that I have come across. For example, on pg 196, there is a data sufficiency question. After giving the sample question, the explanation misquotes the question!
