 GMAT by The Princeton Review December 15, 2008
Nicholas F. Sacca (Fort Myers, FL USA)
The GMAT by The Princeton Review is the most comprehensive self study book that helps the student to have a better understanding of the structure of the examination and provides examples of questions that may be presented in the computer test. The book also contains a very valuable CD that simulates the actual test so you will feel more comfortable with the real thing on day of the test. So, for all of us taking the test, good luck and score high!
 Honest Review of GMAT Books! July 6, 2008
Rochelle Smith (USA)

After going through all the GMAT books, here is my honest opinion about some of the most popular GMAT books:
Official Guide:
Pros - Excellent source of GMAT questions. Very well organized with real test like questions.
Cons - No review of any math content or test-taking strategies. Not enough explanations of practice questions.
Overall, the Official Guide is a must have for all test-takers. It will give you a good idea about the type of questions to expect on the GMAT; however, if you need more than just a bank of questions, you need to look at some other source.
Kaplan:
Pros - Good for additional practice questions as a supplement
Cons - Review of math content is not thorough but just the very basics. Not enough explanation of test taking strategies. Full of guessing techniques with no real mathematical solutions. Not good enough explanations of practice questions. Unrealistic questions.
Princeton:
Pros - Good for additional practice questions as a supplement
Cons - Review of math content is not thorough but just the very basics. Not enough explanation of test taking strategies. Full of guessing techniques with no real mathematical solutions. Not good enough explanations of practice questions. Weird sense of humor.
Barrons:
Pros - Good math review. Big list of questions. Good test taking strategies. Very well organized. This is by far the best of the all-in-one kinds of books.
Cons - Although the book has a good math review, it doesn't go deep enough into each concept. Not enough explanations to practice questions. Does not have a good section for logical reasoning (permutation, combination, probability, etc) questions, which is one of the most important question-type. Does not break down the concepts/questions step by step.
EZ Solutions (set of 9 books):
Pros - Thorough math review from A to Z. Effective test taking strategies. Abundant solved examples. Numerous practice exercises. Great practice question bank in basic and advanced workbooks.
As with most books, you are expected to already have a good knowledge about the various match concepts, but with these books, you can literally start from scratch and reach the most advanced level of the GMAT.
Cons - To get the best result from these books, you have to invest in buying several books (set of 9 books), but if you compare the cost and benefits, the benefits outweigh the cost, or you can buy a few not all. Missing the verbal section. This is not a good option if you are looking for a mediocre score or just looking for a very basic brush-up. Recommended for serious test takers only.
Some of the other books has no real content; whereas, there are some other books that I haven't yet had an opportunity to review, but may be some of them are good supplementary aids.
I hope my review will help some of you in making the right decision.
Good for beginners July 22, 2008

Some experts might hate this book but this is a good book for beginners. For any one who is new to GMAT or even those who have been working for quite sometime and think of giving a go at GMAT, this book is a good start. It explains the format of GMAT and starts off with a layman type explanation of topics. DVD edition of this book is recommended for those who hate to sit and read. However don't rely on this book alone to crack GMAT. Once finished one can move on to the next level by checking more books on GMAT.
Useful and helpful GMAT book September 20, 2008
Omer Yazici
This book is almost perfect. Cracking clues and useful tips are perfect but need more practise questions. Because most of other books do not classify GMAT strategies like it. I recommend this book.
 Princeton GMAT Review August 25, 2008
B. Trigger (Laurel, Maryland United States)
This book is for newbies, but if that is where you are then there is nothing wrong with purchasing it. I would look to getting the Ez-Solutions set of nine books. They have everything covered in their books, so why not spend the extra money and do it right the first time.
