ha, this is in line to what you say Johnny, look at thsi review

Reviewer: Glen Mehn (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I got this book and took the GMAT yesterday. I scored a 750 on the GMAT, and many of the techniques were VERY useful. One of the big bonuses that the book touts, however, is "4 free online practice tests." These tests were horrible.

Compare: Using the ETS/GMAC practice tests, I scored 650 ad 690, then 750 on the actual test.

When I took the PR practice tests online, the site was slow and buggy, I scored 570-610, and several of the questions were just plain wrong: Bad editing, etc. There were several that had wrong answers inthe math section. I remember one question in reading comprehension where they used "Antebellum" in place of "Postbellum". A fairly important distinction.

By all means, get the book-- just get the $14 one. The extras in the DVD and online tests are not worth your money. If you want practice tests, get the ones from GMAC at https://www.gmat.com/ .

I am concerned for what I am reading about PR. Basically they say it is a collection of tricks and not logic. Now I have second thoughs about buying it, I have done Manahttan, Kaplan and OG, and many of you say PR is closer to the real exam...I am confused

Princeton Review seems to have less respect for the test. They want you to beat it by understanding its design amd seeing through its tricks. Kaplan, on the other hand, wants to help you do well through thorough review of the material. Both are important appraoches, and they complement each other well.

Well I chickened out! :oops: I changed AGAIN the date of my test to Feb 20th. My Company has President's Day as a holiday and I though I could take advantage of this just to relax and do nothing (I will tried at least, I usually study until the last minute). Also the difference is the test will be at 1:15 pm instead of 9 am. Who knows, this might be better for me, maybe I am slower in the morning, who knows, maybe I need a change, maybe, maybe , maybe...

Manhattan for SC is Great! I improved so much becasue of that. And believe it or not Kaplan is good too, if you get used to do problems with Kaplan OG is easier :)

They are free if you purchase just 1 book. You don't have to purchase all the books. However, with each book you have access to a bank of questions according to the book in particular :)

I took two of the tests and I though they were pretty good (well, meaning closer to OG)

I purchased 3 books through Amazon. The best is the SC one. Love it!

As you get closer to your test date, you should emphasize taking more practice tests and doing timed practice problem sets. At this point, you're probably pretty solid with the concepts tested on the GMAT--you need to get pacing down.
