Can't get much better than straight from the source
When preparing for your GMAT you want to try to practice with questions that are as close as possible to what you'll see on Test Day. The Official Guide is full of them! Although this book won't give you much in terms of advice (check out a Kaplan or PR book for this), it will give you plenty of opportunity to test your skill level. Using this in conjunction with one of the books mentioned above is a very effective method of getting ready. Good luck to all on your test!

If you're serious- buy this book!
While the book is no help in brushing up on math, and the questions on the archaic floppies are the same as those in the book, if you want a better score, get this. While Princeton Review and Kaplan are great for re-learning your math, they can only approximate the questions on the GMAT, and they can be confusing.

This course is excellent because it ggives you real questions. This prepares you mentally for the GMAT, and is an excellent tool for your last week of studying. Also, becuase the format is the same as the real GMAT, you won't stress about anything on test day.

Some warnings: do the test on the disks (it's the same as the book, and gives you valuable practice on taking the computer test); don't try to learn the math from the meager review; and do one essay question (the software is so primitive, you have to get used to it!).

Also, this course accurately predicts your GMAT score (it hit mine on the nose).

Forget others
In my opinion this book will be the only one to worth its price. This book is "must" for every exam takers.It reflects all the material that you are responsible for. For that reason forget about all the other books such as Kaplan, Barrons, Princeton etc.These books are a piece of ... and you don't have to use them. Because you should think that ETS is aware of these books' strategies and questions. In sum, there is no alternative for this book.
