3.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction, but not enough info for in-depth prep, April 5, 2000
By 
TestMagic Inc. (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the GMAT CAT with Sample Tests on CD-ROM, 2000 Edition (Cracking the Gmat With Sample Tests on DVD) (Paperback)
I have a business preparing people for the GMAT and I *never* use this book. Most of our students need much more than this book has to offer. Basically, Princeton Review does not give you all the information they have because they want you to take their course. As they say, people sign up for the course just to get the books!

This book will show you what to expect on the GMAT, but it won't clear up any of the serious problems you may have. For example, if you are scoring pretty high in the math, like 80% or so, you will need to focus on more difficult questions and this book does not have enough of them.

All of their sentence correction problems also neatly fall into their categories, but, alas, these are not the questions that most people have problems with, it is the tricky questions that people have a hard time with.

The software is so-so. It's better than the Peterson's (almost everything is), but not as good as the Kaplan. The best, of course, is the official PowerPrep software. I have had many problems with students getting over 600 on the Princeton Review software, but getting 100 or 200 points less on the real test!

In short, you should buy a good test prep book to use along with the official GMAT review. There is no one book that will give you everything you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Princeton Review study guide mirrors actual test, November 28, 1999
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the GMAT CAT with Sample Tests on CD-ROM, 2000 Edition (Cracking the Gmat With Sample Tests on DVD) (Paperback)
I found that the Princeton Review guide along with the ETS PowerPrep and the Official Guide to the GMAT to be very representative of the actual test. I took one of the Princeton Review CAD test the morning of my actual GMAT test and made the exact same score on both. I also used Kaplan but found my test results much lower than what I actually scored.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last minute wonder, January 27, 2000
By 
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the GMAT CAT with Sample Tests on CD-ROM, 2000 Edition (Cracking the Gmat With Sample Tests on DVD) (Paperback)
I was using the Kaplan and Cambridge books and consistently getting 580s on the practice tests. I got the Princeton Review on the Friday before my Wednesday test and cracked down. This book teaches you WHAT you need to know, not some general knowledge review like other study guides. The only downside is that the math sample tests seemed a bit easer than the real thing. I finished all of the practice tests in plenty of time, but on the real GMAT I had to guess on the last 12 math problems during the last two minutes. Final result 660!

Good Luck
