Summary: Good for practice questions but hopeless for actually learning techniques 2008-10-26
Comment: This book is fine for providing practice questions but hopeless for teaching techniques on how to answer questions.
For example, this is the entire explanation it provides for how to multiply fractions:
10/9 x 3/4 x 8/15
first reduce (cancel) diagonally and vertically:
2/3 x 1/1 x 2/3
then multiply numerators together and denominators together:
2x1x2/3x1x3 = 4/9
Of course it provides no explanation how it got to 2/3 x 1/1 x 2/3, "how" to reduce diagonally and vertically, or even what that means.
A terrible book if you need to learn concepts rather than just practice them

Summary: does not cover everything you need to know 2008-10-10
Comment: BE WARNED THIS BOOK IS NOT COMPRHENSIVE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN EVERYTING YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR THE MATH. I went throught this book thinking im good with math, but when i opened the kaplan premier program (another study guide book I bought)to my surprise there was a whole new section of math that the workbook did not cover such as standard deviation,compound interest, simple interest, permutations, combinations,weight average,new average with deletion,orginal average to find what what has been deleted,sequence. Thse are just a few things not covered in the math workbook.

Summary: Underrated 2008-08-22
Comment: I strongly feel that some of the reviews of this book posted here are too harsh. Judging from a few of the comments, it seems that some might expect this to prepare them for the GRE Math Subject Test - which is very different from this book's intention, which is to prepare one for the math section of the General Test. The level of difficulty of the problems is not too hard - if you're looking to score a 800, this may not be the book for you - but it's perfect for those of us struggling to get over the 650 mark. The practice problems, for the most part, realistically resemble what one might encounter on the acutal test, and there are only a few GRE-tested math subjects that don't appear in this book. In just over a week of studying primarily with this book, I went from practice tests in the mid-600's range to a 720 on the actual test, so it definitely seemed to be a good investment.

Summary: Not as comprehensive as I expected it to be. 2008-06-17
Comment: If you're looking for a book to prep you for the quantitative section of the GRE, this workbook by Kaplan is not a comprehensive prep book. I personally found Barron's to be the best guide in helping me with the Math section of the GRE. I bought this book thinking it would a good practice book, but I found it to be average and the practice questions are much easier than the questions I found on the actual GRE.
