Too many errors October 27, 2009
O. Krasnykh (San Francisco, CA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm on Question 9 of the book. And I've already found 2 errors!! They are kind of ridiculous too: 9+10+11=20 and sq.root(2)*sq.root(2)=1
I would only suggest this book if you can get it free and are confident enough that you will be able to catch their mistakes without wasting a lot of time.
I agree with another review, which suggests that Kaplan seems to have done this on purpose -- to save money on proofing this publication before releasing it.
 Worth it October 27, 2009

I bought this book because I wanted to do really well on the Quantitative section of the GRE. I found that it prepared me very well. The only down-side is that I found an error. I guess that just helped me be on my toes :). Besides that everything was great.
Typos October 25, 2009

The book does a good job of covering and explaining the different types of problems on the GRE. However, there are quite a few problems that have typos that lead to solving the problems wrong or making the problems unsolvable. An example is "if 27n = 94, then n= ", the problem is supposed to be "if 27 to the nth power = 9 to the 4th power, then n = " (sorry for the lack of power symbols - use your imagination). Another problem states "if xyz does not equeal 0, then" and never gives the actual equation to simplify. Most of the time, the answer's explanation at the end of each chapter has the right explanation so you can figure out what key bit of info was left out of the original question. I'm disappointed that a Kaplan book claiming to help achieve the perfect score has typos.
 Some questions are not even questions.... October 24, 2009

I too am very frustrated by the lack of editing that went into this book. In the first 22 questions, there are 4 questions that are defective. Questions 5, 9, 21, and 22. I've stopped working problems and am going to send my materials back to Kaplan for a refund. I love "question" number 22 though. It's not even a question. If xyz does not equal zero, then ... the five multiple choice questions are simply xyz to different powers. Lovely.
I think it is criminal that Kaplan can get people to buy this product. I think people sending in specific questions that are incorrect should be paid a fee for their assistance in editing. They will certainly make money of these services when they publish the next edition.
Good marketing, poor product. October 23, 2009

Kaplan has banked upon the clever marketing of this hastily produced, shoddily written product to capture a flood of profit from next year's unsuspecting, trusting graduate students, desperate for a leg up in tough times and against stiff competition. I myself being one of these graduate students, I noticed immediately that nearly half of the problems are lifted directly from their Seventh Edition of the GRE Exam Math Workbook. The other half of the problems, those that are not direct copies from the other book, are so chock-full of typos that it's any wonder one can even call it math! They are impossible to solve, and frustrating, to say the least, if you try.
