 great advice for taking a CAT test August 10, 2008

This book covers the basic math and english content pretty well. I agree that if you are looking for real-math solutions to all the math problems you will need a different resource, but if you follow the testing advice in this book, you don't need to know all the advanced math to do very well on the GMAT.
The Cracking book has a thorough description of, and strategy for dealing with, a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT test.) It lays out how to develop a pacing plan and set realistic goals, and offers a lot of great practice. I do still suggest using the Official Guide for additional practice, and also downloading the free CAT tests from GMAC.org for practice as well.
I never got the sense that this book was supposed to be a replacement text for all the math you didn't learn (or forgot along the way) but rather a great guide to give you the test savvy that you need to "crack" this test.
Best guide for the GMAT November 21, 2009

While this won't apply to everyone, I used this review during the 12 days studying that I had to study for the test and was able to boost my estimated score by about 100 points. In the end I got a 710 on this test, so that should provide a good selling point.
The best aspect of this book is that it teaches you how to think like the test makers. On all of the practice problems there is a solid explanation for the correct answer along with justifications for the false answers.
The other great thing is that the book doesn't waste time. It only teaches the material that will be covered on the test, and it teaches the process of elimination techniques that you'll need to work through the test questions as fast as you'll need to.
I'd strongly recommend this book over any other book out there.
Good book to Study with January 5, 2009

This a good book to study for the GMAT with because it doesn't just focus on the principles, etc that they will be testing you on, but the quickest way to get through the test. It thoroughly covers what will be tested on the GMAT and give tips and tricks to be successful. I would highly suggest this one.
Cracking the GMAT March 12, 2009
Malko (Sioux Falls, SD USA)
Good book for preparing the GMAT, very easy to read and to understand. The last time I worked on Mathematics was in 2001 and since I had no contact with Maths again until I found this book in a Library and decided to buy it.
It explained every steps you have to follow to take this test, and give you hints and many drills so that as the time to write the test come, you are ready and prepared.
Very useful tool March 13, 2005

This is a great value. PR supplies 4 online tests in addition to this book, which contains several good examples of what to expect on the GMAT.
I found this book enormously helpful in preparing for the GMAT and would strongly recommend it.
