 The book has many errors and msitakes. May 27, 2007
I am not reading this book, I am just solving the problems and the practice tests, preparing for the GRE and I find this book is really annoying, because instead of helping me improving my math skills, I found myself improving Peterson's ability of math skills!
The book has many errors and many of them are definitely not printing mistakes, they are mathematically flaws.
I have contacted Peterson's about the errors and they provided me with a page of correction within the site of Peterson's, the page couldn't be opened! It seems that there isn't such a page.
I don't recommend this book to anyone.
 Preparing for the GAMT December 8, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After many years in the workforce, I decided to pursue a graduate degree. The most significant hurdle was the GMAT. Writing and language are strengths for me, but for the past 18 years, I've let computers take care of quantitative issues. So, in short order I had to become reacquainted with math concepts long forgotten, and learn how to take a CAT exam and score reasonably well. All of my research led me to one conclusion: it takes more than one study guide to adequately prepare for the GMAT. The course I followed, with an evaluation of each guide, is outlined in the following paragraphs.
For my math review, I selected Peterson's Math Review for GRE, GMAT, and MCAT, 2nd edition. There have been some comments about errors in previous editions, but I found this guide quite helpful, and an excellent refresher on math topics I have not seen in years, but need to know for the GMAT. 4 out of 5.
The GMAT Advantage with Professor Dave was selected because of its readability and the questions. The material is challenging, and the more difficult questions in each category provide a good idea of the difficult questions faced on the GMAT. The verbal chapters are very strong and have excellent examples. The math problems are also very good, but the text assumes that the reader already is familiar with most math topics. This is why I recommend Peterson's MAth Review to compliment this guide. Overall 4 out of 5, with a solid 5 for the verbal sections.
The Official Guide for GMAT is the best resource for practice questions. 1400 questions are in this guide, and the last 1/3 in each section represent some difficult concepts that will be tested. This book gets the reader prepared for the real questions that will be seen on the exam. In addition, the question writers provide excellent explanations for the solutions, and reveal some elegantly simple ways to solve math problems that at first appear to be very labor intensive. 4 out of 5. (Also, be sure to take the 2 free CAT tests available online from GMAC. These prepare the user well for the GMAT experience.)
Finally, I also used the Princeton Review Crash Course for GMAT. I used this as a final review and to gain some additional pointers and time savers. While brief, this book does provide excellent quick reference tips for all question types that will be seen on the test. The idiom list and formulas are worth the price alone. 4 out of 5.
I prepared over an 8 week period, with at least 1 hour of review per day, and more often it was 2 to 4 hours. Regular, consistent preparation, using different references that fit your style of learning will prepare you for this rigorous test. Prepare thoroughly with relentless repetition, and take the test. After 18 years out of school, I scored a 690.
Good luck.
Lots of Errors September 5, 2001
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I am using this book to study for the GMAT because it was the cheapest one available. But as I'm going through the problems and answers, I am finding a mistake on almost every page - in the problems and the answers. This makes it a little bit difficult for someone who is not very great at math to study and understand the concepts.
A materpiece for the GRE September 16, 2000

Since I aced the Quantitative section of the GRE, I feel compelled to convey to the World my most sincere gratitude to the makers of this book. This book comprehensively covers most of the aspects of the Quantitative Section of the GRE and greatly helps tp develop that keen sense of grasping the fundamentals of the subject which enables efficacious learning. Less than 8 weeks for the GRe get this book practice it and SCORE HIGH ON THE QUANTITATIVE SECTION.
