As a person who likes math, I must say the GRE math is terrible.

But, if I have to know it, better study. There is a lot of review and a lot of practice in this book. It's a good choice! ( )

As a person who likes math, I must say the GRE math is terrible.

But, if I have to know it, better study. There is a lot of review and a lot of practice in this book. It's a good choice! ( )

Despite typos that make a few isolated problems, and a few entire pages, unusable, this is a useful tool for preparing for the quantitative portion of the GRE. The graded problems build confidence, and the solutions sometimes provide multiple strategies for attacking a problem.

However, as someone attempting to score 800, I felt that much of my time was wasted on the simpler problems. Also, more specific advice about test conditions during the exam and strategies for budgeting time might have been useful. Overall, this book is a good value for the money, but additional preparation might be necessary for those trying to eke out those last few points on the test.
