Title: The Best Test Preparation for the Graduate Record Examination (Gre): Mathematics by James Ogden, Research & Education Association ISBN: 0-87891-637-7 Publisher: Research & Education Assn Pub. Date: June, 1990 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $28.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3 (5 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: A terrible book
Comment: Under no circumstances should you buy this book. It has major flaws:
1) The material covered does not seem to match what is actually on the test.
2) The mathematics is full of typographical errors; as a result many of the problems are incomprehensible.
3) Some of the solutions are ridiculous, incoherent nonsense.
A much better book is "Cracking the GRE Math Test" by Leduc
Rating: 4
Summary: BIG book that may help you prepare your GRE Math test.
Comment: Pros:
1. It has 6 full-length exams with "explanations" to every question.
Cons:
1. The included "Comprehensive Mathematics Review" which is supposed to cover all major topics, is pretty BAD. It is rarely useful, I didn't like it at all. I recommend much more the review that's included in "Cracking the GRE Math", which is much more detailed and explanatory, with plenty of exercises.
2. As someone has already noted, the exam does not have the same "feeling" as a real ETS test. The questions are generally more difficult, and the distribution of question types are very strange. It seems that they had never seen a real GRE Math test when they did this book.
3. The explanations to every questions are not very well done in many cases. The explanations given in "Cracking the GRE Math" are much more helpful.
Summarizing, it could have been a great book, because it has 6 full-length questions, which I think, it is the best way to prepare for this test. However, one notices right away that it has a completely different flavor from the actual GRE Math test.
Knowing this, I still bought it, because I needed more practice tests, but I'm not really sure if it did help me.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not Quite for the GRE
Comment: This book is excellent; but at a level above what you need for the GRE. The first grouping of this book is a general review of everything you could possibly see, the second is 6 practice tests. I found the review to be better as a "guide" to your own studying; seeing what topics they cover, then doing more detailed work on each topic apart from the book. The tests are harder than the GRE, and I find them better for practice for Candidacy Exams than for the GRE. My advice: Don't buy this book. Instead, save your money and time, and just cover notes from past math classes.
