Cracking the GMAT

Princeton Review's GMAT series has a long-standing reputation for teaching test strategy rather than brute content memorization, and the 2009 edition's core approach — think like the test writer — remains sound pedagogically. Over 200 practice questions plus two full-length tests gave this edition genuine prep value in its time. The unavoidable caveat is age: the GMAT format has changed substantially since 2009, the online test access is almost certainly dead, and a test-taker relying on this edition for current exam structure would be at a real disadvantage. Use it only as supplemental strategy practice alongside a current edition. As a standalone 2025 prep resource, it's too outdated to recommend without that warning.
