Guide Review - Cracking the GMAT
Every year, The Princeton Review provides new prep books to help you prepare for the GMAT and other standardized tests. Their latest edition has been expanded slightly to include updated GMAT practice questions and new strategies that are guaranteed to increase your GMAT score.

Cracking the GMAT is more than just a prep book; it is a test-taking method. The Princeton Review has created a system of strategies and techniques that are meant to teach test-takers how to beat the GMAT. Readers will learn new ways to approach and answer GMAT questions.

To help you apply your newly acquired knowledge, Cracking the GMAT also includes GMAT practice questions and answers. To avoid any confusion, each answer also contains a full explanation of how the answer was derived. The back of the book also contains a GMAT practice test that you can take, along with links to personalized scoring reports.

I recommend Cracking the GMAT and The Princeton Review's system to anyone who needs GMAT preparation. If used properly, the book will help you achieve a better score on the GMAT test.
