1 out of 5 stars Far too basic   June 24, 2008

I bought this book based on amazon reviewers comments and I was wrong. This book is so simple it's not even funny. Just skimming through it, I can not even say that it will help with the GMAT in the slightest way.

For a far better math review guide for gmat preparation, I would reccommend the Arco Gmat/GRE Math review book. This book assumes you know how to add and multiply (unlike the "Ultimate" refresher) and goes through topics in great detail. I am almost done with the entire Arco book and love how it introduces new topis and gives you problems that range in difficulty - from easy to hard. This is how you build up a mathematical skillset.

Not to mention, the Arco book covers the bredth of math-related topics which are likely to appear on the GMAT.

Anyone looking to get a serious score, steer clear of this waste of $. Your $ is better spent on the Arco book.



3 out of 5 stars A little too basic....   June 19, 2008

It gives an okay overview of the basics, but it is not challenging enough for the GRE.


4 out of 5 stars One of my favorites   June 2, 2008
This book starts you off with very basic math, building up to the more complicated mathematics that are included in the GRE (geometry, arithmetics, up to logorithms, etc.). Step by step, you fill the exercises right in the book. Simple and very useful. Helped me out a lot personally


1 out of 5 stars Its Very Basic Book, though it says refresher for GRE etc.   April 26, 2008

Its Very Basic Book, though it says refresher for GRE etc. It starts with 2+3=5 and continues with only very very basic details with the most complex formula in the book being "Area of Circle=Pi*r**2".


5 out of 5 stars Adequate Math Refresher   March 16, 2008

I bought this book as a Math refresher for the GRE. For its price it's a good bye, and includes practice problems and answers. This guidebook is geared towards the General GRE, the GMAT and the LSAT. The same publisher has more specific refresher books for each test individually, my advise would be to go with that. Other then that, very folksy and easy to read.
