 A good refresher, no practice questions |
| Review Date: May 4, 2002 |
| Reviewer: , |
| I'd recommend this book for anyone who needs a good math refresher. This book is in an easy to use format, starting with easy material and progressing to the more difficult from there. Each section contains a brief (but good) explanation followed by a fair number of practice questions. Don't look for any long-winded explanations in this book, it is a refresher, just as they say. Also, it is printed on good stock, so it holds up nicely. I took mine cross country with no problems, unlike the review books printed on newprint which didn't fare as well. The biggest problem I encountered with this book is that it does not contain any test specific questions such as the GMAT's data sufficiency questions or the quantitative comparisons on the GRE. If you are looking for practice questions, this is not the book for you. If you want a math refresher, this is the book for you. If you are particularly strong in math, you probably won't find this book very helpful, unless you want to do basic math problems, out of test format. I used this book as a math refresher, then went on to one of the other review books for specific question practice. That combination seemed to work for me. |
Great for GMAT Prep!

| I am horrible at math but needed to brush up for my second shot at the GMAT. This book did an exceptional job of reintroducing math concepts I hadn't seen in years. There were plenty of practice problems with simple and practical explanations. The first time I took the GMAT, I used Kaplan's math prep book. Although it gave me practice answering GMAT type questions, the reality was I really needed to first was brush up on my math fundamentals. This book covers arithmatic, algebra, and geometry in 37 lessons. A great buy for anyone taking an ETS test! |
Excellent review!

I was faced with the frightening prospect of taking GREs again, some thirty years after the first time I took them, since I'm now applying to grad school for a second Master's degree. I expected that I'd have no problems with the written portion of it, but frankly the math portion terrified me.
This book provided succinct and clear explanations of the basic principles I needed to do well on the math section. I am sure I would have scored in the 10th percentile without it; with it, I got a very respectable (for a humanities major) 650.
I have since passed it along to my daughter, who was preparing for her SATs. Her comments mirrored mine. I look forward to seeing how her scores improved over her first administration of the test.
I would recommend it highly. |
if you don't remember any math from highschool

| I use the customer reviews to make purchase decisions often but have never felt compelled to write one until now. I also have the Kaplan GRE Exam math workbook fifth edition and like most of the math prep books I found, they assume a very brief review of a concept will trigger your memory and you will be able to work practice problems. The Ultimate Math Refresher is for those who truly need to relearn the concepts. It doesn't have practice problems like you will find on the GRE but it has practice sections to demostrate the concepts and make sure you understand them. The sections are also short enough for people who find relearning math tedious. I suggest this book for the mathematically challenged and then move on to one of the typical prep books with GRE style problems. |
What a refreshing way to refresh your math skills.

| I'm a 55-year old female that has been in the banking business for 30 years. I graduated from college with a degree in math and science a long time ago. I have always wanted to get a graduate degree, but have been afraid that I would have forgotten so much. The Ultimate Math Refresher took that fear away as it was a great, fun and easy refresher for me. The language is clear and concise, and the practice sets are well designed to refresh your math skills and concepts. I couldn't have found a better step-by-step method to get up to speed for the GMAT--even though I had a Math Degree and use to teach math many years ago! |
