Kaplan books, official guide and princeton are considered as the general good prep material. I have not used princeton though so i dont know much about that, but kaplan is good. Later you could try gmat challenge , and gmat prep tests.

chitrakar, Verbal: OG 11.. DO all the questions in math and verbal sections.. understand the explanations - very important as this is the logic GMAT expects test-takers to apply. For sentence correction (SC), use Manhattan SCs. For Critical Reasoning (CR), Kaplan is good. But, avoid Kaplan for other sections of the GMAT. For Reading Comprehension (RC), OG 11 should be good. You may also use ARCO GRE to work out a few passages. Practice tests (computer based): Please take only GPrep and PowerPrep. Avoid other tests as they are either too easy or too difficult. For more info., drop me a line at: somushankar@rocketmail.com

Thanks! just released the 2008 edition of their series, so I would assume that's what he/she meant.

The best book to start with by far is Cracking the GMAT, the Princeton Review book. It has the best overall explanation of the test IMHO. They make it easy to understand and it's actually kind of funny (they don't seem to think a whole lot of this test, just like us, lol). The tips for each question type really helped me also to help me keep my timing good and for doing smart guessing when I was running out of time. The tests are good too.

Powerprep is too old to be really that useful anymore. The scoring algorithm has changed a bit, and it's definitely easier than the current test. I wouldn't bother with Powerprep unless you're really out of other materials and just want extra practice (most of those questions are in the OG 10, btw). GMATPrep is undoubtedly the best but I also used the PR tests and I would highly recommend those. They are adaptive like the real one and they're great practice.
