Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great little book
Simple,straightforward and relevant.
I bought this book to help me prepepare for the GRE. Math is not my favorite subject but this book does a good job of tying up all those lose ends. It doesn't cost too much and its small enough to carry around in your bag. I highly recommend it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A simple, inexpensive review for the GRE
An OK review of the material you would find on most standardized entrance exams. Covers arithmatic, algebra, geometry and word problems. The only drawback is it is a small book with small print, and doesn't have much room inside of it for working problems out like larger prep books, such as Kaplans. You get what you pay for.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Didn't know this book existed...
I am a private math tutor and a student of mine had purchased this book to assist in his ACT preparation. I found it extrememly helpful as a general math review, regardless of which test one is preparing for, and purchased a copy myself to assist other math students in the future. There is high emphasis on word problems, and almost all aspects of basic math (approaching calculus) are addressed with thorough explanation, answer keys, and knowledge tests. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Math Review for GRE
I ordered this book to help my daughter study for the GRE's. She says that it is very helpful.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An absolute must if you are preparing for the GRE yourself
This book is the first that I have encountered that can actually TEACH me math. All of the others that have tried have just gave me a headache. It starts with the most basic concepts and works its way into the more complex. If you are preparing for the GRE or SAT yourself, this book is worth way more than what you'll pay for it on Amazon. Without it, I would have been completely, utterly, lost.

One suggestion, though: If you're planning on taking the GRE, you should also purchase ... Read More
