Summary: Maybe too optimistic, but nothing helps as much as basics
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great Review for Math !
Comment: This book is perfect for reviewing for the GMAT, it is filled with many questions like you will see on the real GMAT exam. The book also highlights the differences for the GRE and the GMAT, and adds a couple of chapters for review specific to each exam.
I like this book because it breaks math down into very simple areas starting with math, algebra, and then a bit of geometry. Filled with many tutorials, questions, and tests you should feel confident when you go through this book.
Kaplan has a good way of breaking down information that is needed, letting you know what tricks and tips you need to be aware of. This book was real written, and can be used for those of us that do not have a math teacher readily handy for study. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing to brush up for each one of these exams.

Summary: incomplete review
Comment: I was incredibly disappointed in this book. It's laid out quite nicely; it has a generous supply of sample problems; it even breaks the problems down into basic, intermediate and advanced. This is all great! Here's the problem: THE REVIEW (GRE) IS INCOMPLETE! There are no stats problems. There are no probability problems. Graphing? You won't even find y=mx+b in this book, let alone the sometimes-needed distance formula. All in all, this book is not even close to "all you need" for a review. Even more aggravating, known Kaplan shortcuts (the combined work formula comes immediately to mind) are not included in the book. This is unacceptable. If you're a maniac who wants to buy four or five books to study for the test, ok, maybe make this one of them. But if you're looking for a complete math review, you'd better look elsewhere.
