 Maybe too optimistic, but nothing helps as much as basics December 27, 2004

I got 99th percentile on my GMAT 750(49, 42) and i used 3 books: this one, Kaplan's book with CD and Verbal Workbook. I had access to PR book and PP, but I did only tests from those. I found Kaplan's materials of quality and difficulty. Some whine that Kaplan is too hard, but that's good - if you can handle Kaplan, you can handle old good GMAT.
My favorite things about this book:
- Very short and condensed math reviews - straight to the point
- No smart-aleck advice about some stupid tricks - only math review - exactly what I needed
- Fabulous problems that illustrate a lot of traps and multiple ways of solving them
- Starts with the basics - arithmetic, integers, primes, etc - the stuff that anybody can uses a review of. A lot of applicants underestimate how much they forgot the basics and skim/skip them. I would not do that, and that book does not either.
- Finally, the number of questions and quizzes in this book is impressive. I am giving a short summary of some of the sections of the book and number of quizzes and test questions. Quiz questions are math only; Test questions are GMAT-type questions.
Arithmetic
-Number operations (15 quiz questoins and 15 test questions)
-Number properties (15, 19)
-Averages (10, 19)
-Ratios (10, 24)
-Percents (25, 25)
-Powers and Roots (12, 17)
Algebra
-Level One (20, 26)
-Level Two (15, 15)
Word Problems
-Level One (10, 26)
-Level Two (37)
-Test (40)
Geometry
-Lines (6, 14)
-Triangles (16, 21)
-Quadrilaterals (15, 19)
-Circles (19, 13)
-Multiple Figures (4, 15)
-Solids (6, 8)
Data Sufficiency
-Test 1 (25)
-Test 2 (25)
CONS:
- I went through this book at least 3 times (helping others) and I found that solutions don't include some of the most genius ways to handle the problems. I think the authors of the questions went beyond themselves.
- No probability or combinations review, which would be very helpful. Get something. I bombed my probability question on the GMAT.
This workbook rocks! April 23, 2006

With no review and almost 20 years since I last looked at algebra and geometry I got 360 on the GRE math section. With 4 weeks of review using this book I got 570! Imagine what you could do with longer! I highly recommend this workbook. Its easy to follow, the methods are very clear and detailed. It teaches you a few tricks of the trade that are simple and effective. Well worth the money.
Excellent review December 19, 2005

I am purchased this book about four- five weeks ago. This book has been easy to follow with well explained examples. Each chapter has questions divided into easy, moderate, and advanced difficulty. I am pleased that i could answer the majority of the questions with ease. i do however feel that the actual test will be much more difficult, and I am going to purchase another book to get a comparative source. i do believe this is a good starter book for those who might be fearful of Math, but that it would not be wise to take the test after only reviewing this book. Again, this book was excellent, but I would reccommend purchasing several other sources to use as well.
Excellent but incomplete January 27, 2005

Kaplan's Math Workbook clearly explains most of the math skills tested by the GRE and includes a large number of practice exercises in all areas and at all difficulty levels. What's more, it guides you incrementally from the easy to the hard, so even the math-phobic will find it approachable. It's main flaw --inexplicable, inexcusable and potentially dire--is it's lack of probability and coordinate geometry review. Both of these concepts will be on your GRE exam and if you don't review them from another source source, you will be underprepared. Overall, though, it's an excellent book.
Book is good if math is not your expertise April 16, 2005

Before buying the book I got in the 10 percentile on my first crack at the actual exam, after buying this book and using the Kaplan CD tests I got in the 65 percentile on my second attempt. Consequentially I would say this book is good for people that are not strong in math. It will give you the basics you need for an average score. If you're looking to get into the top 80 - 90th percentiles in the quantitative sections this book will be of little use to you.
