Very well written, fun to read - BUT just not enough depth

In my view, this is the most well written GMAT book. Its really fun to read and has very good introductory chapters of each section that helps you refresh fundamentals.

But, in terms of depth/difficulty of the questions, this book does not prepare you enough to face the GMAT. I recommend everyone to start GMAT prep with this book to brush up the fundamentals and to get an overview of the exam pattern (and also to build self-confidence) and then go on to study something else like Kaplan/Manhattan before starting with the mandatory one - The Official guide.

Another note - The DVD that comes with this book is almost useless. I hoped to have a couple of practice exams but all it has is a couple of videos explaining about GMAT etc., So better go for a non-DVD one if there is such an option.

excellent!!

It is a complete book, with directions for all the test, and a lot of details about how the test is written to find out the answers for difficult questions! I strongly recommend this book.

Good Book overall, buts skimps in some areas

Overall I think that this was a good book; however, they skimped in a few areas. The grammar section was very bare bones as well as the statistics. I was able to do well by purchasing some additional books.

I also wish they put more information about the grading. Each section (math and verbal) is out of 60 points, and then is weighted depending on how the general populace does. They never mentioned this, so despite having a lower raw score, my verbal was actually a much higher percentile. This would have been nice to know when studying.

Cracking the GMAT 2008

I used Princeton Reviews SAT book and was well pleased. I pushed my score to the 1300 mark. I'm now eyeing graduate school and am hoping for the same results with this book. I just finished my first run through of this book. Overall I was pretty pleased. The thought process undergone to construct the book is in a methodical manner that is conducive to learning. Much better than Kaplans. My main complaint is the lack of content in the gramar certain areas of the math section. Some of the teaching logic is fundamentaly flawed. If you don't need to re-visit some of your weak areas and are to use this as a strategic guide then I would say it would be well worth your money. But some of the areas that I honestly have not had to think about since maybe grade school seemed lacking in all areas. Hope this helped.
