>> Huge improvement
It had been about 10 years since I was in high school and solving math problems on a regular basis By drilling with the questions in this book I improved my quantitative score on my first practice GRE from 590 to 750 on the actual test
>> I hate math but I love this book
I am planning to take the GMAT so I bought this book to review before I start getting into quant on the GMAT I never enjoyed math in high school which was over 6 years ago nor was it my best subject and during college I only had to take one statistics class When I sat down to review math I honestly didn t even remember how to do long division without using a calculator simply because I haven t needed to do that for years I am halfway through this book now and it s really helpful It starts off easy and reviews all the basics along with a refresher on all of the rules of math I feel as though most review books assume you know the basics and just dive right in so that s why I like this book The book gets progressively harder in each chapter but it still ties in things you have just reviewed I really like that each time the book introduces a new subject it gives you 5 10 quick practice problems to do to make sure you understand it before moving on There is a diagnostic test in the beginning of each chapter as well as a longer review test at the end I also like how this book isn t very big it s not the same size as the giant standardized test books they make so it s not very indimidating I can t imagine a better way to relearn math lots of easy to understand review and plenty of practice problems Highly recommended
>> Great overview of algebra geometry and tricky math
This book is like a math dictionary very thorough and covers all the confusing concepts of math I found it so helpful that I decided to keep it indefinitely in case I ever have to look up something
