Excellent review of basic concepts and some medium difficulty problems

I bought this book as a refresher for a math exam I will be taking in about a month. It starts you off with "simpler" topics and moves onto topics which require more calculations and maybe two or three steps to solve. Overall, a great review book. I will keep this book (and not resell it, lol) because I feel, in the future, if I ever need a refresher, this book will be it. Although this book does not cover other topics (combinations / permutations), it is still a good resource to refresh your memory. I think that proper exam preparation requires far more than a single resource. This is a good book to give you the fundamentals but you preparation should definitely consist of more than one review guide and certainly a ton of other resources for "reputable" problems - not simple ones, etc.

Great book for people who want to brush up math skills !!

I am writing this after trying different books and methods at teaching math for people who want to take GRE. What I have seen and experienced is that this book breaks the concepts down into lucid and simple terms and walks the person through each step. It has been a very good tool atleast for me during my teaching. My student was able to understand the concepts when they just looked at how it was solved. It is good for beginners and for people who have relatively less background in math.

Well Worth It!

I'm self-proclaimed "Math Stupid." It had been nearly 5 years since my last basic algebra course and I had forgotten it all, so I purchassed this book in order to "relearn all my math" for the GRE. I gave myself roughly a month to steadily work through the book's sections and practice questions...and walked away with a great understanding and ability. I even learned things that didn't make sense to me throughout highschool or college. The format of this GRE/GMAT math review is very easy to follow. It gradually builds on itself and has fantastic, clear, easy-to-understand explanations. There are also several full-length practice tests. If you need to relearn your math/algebra/geometry for the GRE or GMAT, do not rely on the brief math reviews in general study guides: the ARCO GRE/GMAT Math Review will start you from scratch and, before you know it, you will know what you're doing! (I scored higher on math than verbal because of this book...and I have an English degree!!)

Higher Scores Made Easy!!

I bought this book about 3.5 weeks before I took the GRE. I knew my math skills were weak and I was looking for a review book that would start from the basics and work its way into the more challenging material. That is exactly what this book did! It starts by teaching you the fundamentals of algebra and then proceeds to word problems, geometry, and then includes a special chapter/practice section of the GRE quantitative comparisons ---a real helper. Included in this book is tons of practice problems to help you gain the skills you need to pass the GRE. I went from scoring in the 400s to a score of 650 on the actual test. And that was just with 3 weeks of practice. I thank the authors for producing such a comprehensive and compatable review book.

The Right Help at Last!

This book was a great help for my son who was preparing for his GRE. The algebra and word problem sections were especially helpful. Being a little fearful of math in general, he accepted the book reluctantly but his test score improved dramatically and he's now on the way to grad school! It was a great investment.
