 Rating:  - the best gre math tool availableFirst of all, I think that this book is awesome. I paid a little over 1,000 dollars to take a princeton review course, and what I received from there did not even compare to what I received from doing this Math workbook. My overall opinion of taking the princeton review course, is that it allows you to get about a 1000 on the GRE if you really need help (e.g., did not have the best educational foundation, etc.). After the course was over, I was still not satisfied with the scores that ... Read More Rating:  - Great BookThis book is pretty good. It takes you through every math concept that you will need to know on the GRE. At the end of each chapter are practice tests. The only bad thing about this book is it does not teach you about permutations and combinations or anything statistic related. Also, the book could be a little big longer, including more practice problems. Overall, I would strongly recommend this to someone who wants to brush up on their math skills before they take the GRE. Rating:  - Awful Practice BookThe point of this book is to provide the buyer with a hands-on crash course knowledge in GRE applicable math topics. Unfortunately this book fails to do that because the explanations of each section only cover HALF of the information you are quizzed about in each practice test! How does that make sense to test someone on something you completely failed to explain in the beginning of the section? Thankfully, I don't take my GRE for another 2 months so I will be buying a supplemental book to this piece ... Read More Rating: - who was the editor on this??I'm shocked that not more people are commenting on this problem, but immediately, upon doing the problems, I found errors everywhere. I am surprised that they let this book run when it has been improperly edited for mistakes. The geometry section and QC were essentially the only 2 sections in the book that didn't have substantial errors on them. I almost gave up going through this book because there were typos everywhere, and what's the point in using the book when it is just filled with mistakes! Read More Rating: - Don't bother with the Kindle version!The information may be great, but I can't comment on that because the formulas are so small that they are nearly impossible to see. Increasing the font size doesn't help because they're not standard text. It's also difficult to navigate around, which you will want to do a lot because the problems are one place, and the answers answers and explanations are elsewhere. The GRE math exercises do not lend themselves to the Kindle, unfortunately. Don't spend your money on this product!
