Total GMAT Math

Product Review

If you have to prepare for the GMAT Quantitative section with only one resource, this is it!. Total GMAT Math contains hundreds of pages of tutorials explaining every single type of question you're likely to see on the exam. Not only that, each one of over forty sections is followed by a drill section with exercises to ensure that you understand the content. There are over 500 exercises in the book! Best of all, each section is also accompanied by several realistic, practice GMAT problems. The book contains well over 300 brand-new practice questions that you won't find anywhere else. 100 of those questions are specially designated as "Challenge" questions. Total GMAT Math is jam-packed with effective, proven techniques, coupled with enough practice to make sure they sink in. They are the skills you need to get a 99th percentile score ... but explained without assuming you could already get one.

This review is from: Total GMAT Math (Paperback)

The total GMAT Math book is an excellent overall product. The author has written a *serious* math book for those who are willing to invest their time and effort into strengthening their quant skills. There are no shortcuts or gimmicks -- this book will appeal to serious test takers.

The only downside to this book is its cost. With no accompanying CAT exams or online question banks, this book is slightly overpriced compared to books written by Kaplan and Manhattan (both of which provide free access to several online full length tests and questions banks, and are considerably less expensive to begin with).
