3.0 out of 5 stars Questions are too easy, April 4, 2004
By 
Eugene Wu (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cracking the GMAT, 2004 Edition (Graduate Test Prep) (Paperback)
The test taking strategies and presentation of the material is excellent, with point form summaries for each chapter. I found the points in Kaplan scattered and burried between excercises -- harder to summarize the main points into a list for quick review.

The questions, however, are way too easy. The Kaplan book does have questions similar to the level of the GMAT.

I would personally buy this book to learn the concepts, Kaplan for the questions. This combination worked best for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Questions too easy, October 31, 2003
By 
Alan Chen (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cracking the GMAT, 2004 Edition (Graduate Test Prep) (Paperback)
These questions are too easy. Don't kid yourself if you score high on a princeton review practice test. Kaplan has more difficult questions that are comparable to ETS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book a nice starting point, August 10, 2004
By 
This review is from: Cracking the GMAT, 2004 Edition (Graduate Test Prep) (Paperback)
It gives some interesting strategies for tackling certain kinds of questions. However, be warned that others have indicated those Princeton "tricks" don't apply that often to real GMAT questions.

I'll save you some time and let you know that most everyone recommends Princeton or Kaplan for a basic review, then the Official review w/over 1400 practice questions along with the PowerPrep software - both from the GMAT people (www.mba.com) and supposedly contain actual past test questions.

Good luck!
