When do you plan to take the GMAT ?Depending on the time you have ,you may wanna go through the books.
Ideally, you should firstly go through the concepts and then attack the questions. The Princeton Review book is quite basic and you maynot find it helpful. You may wanna start with the MGMAT books

PR is a waste of your time. Stick with MGMAT books.
Google "GMAT Pill"<--really helpful, worth checking out--especially for RC passages.
e-gmat SC: Never thought it would be fun learning SC.

Woo Whooo got through Chapter 1, in Foundations of Gmat Math (solving for equations- something i remember I was good at in school but forgot, had to relearn it last night), I saved the review questions for tonight.

Tonight's plan:
Review questions
Chapter 2
and 1/2 of chapter 3.
