 Excellent review of basic concepts and some medium difficulty problems July 10, 2008
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.
 Too general to help on the GRE. July 10, 2008
This book does a good job of teaching you basic math. It does help if you want to relearn math from scratch with progressive difficulty. It does not however help to prepare you specifically for the math questions encountered on the GRE. The practice questions in the book do a poor job of emulating GRE math questions which are not straight forward. I did every practice question in the book over three months and raised my quantitative score marginally. I studied a math review from a major test prep company and saw a much more appreciable gain using their specific advice. Using this book ended up being a tremendous waste of my financial resources and time. This book is a good math review but poor test prep - avoid it.
Only for begginers March 9, 2008

I bought this book and did not really help me. Actual questions were much tougher than book provided. The book did not contain any permutation-combination, arithmetic sequence,probability, slopes and XY plane questions. These questions appeared frequently on the test. Also examples in this book are very easy and these questions have nothing to do with actual questions. I recommend, those who aim to get high score do not purchase this book.
GRE/GMAT REVIEW July 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am using the ARCO GRE/GMAT review and I find it very detailed and deep.
Very good purchase for the ones who need just a fresh review of what they studied in college/high school.
Not fit for who is completely dry of math.
 Good for beginners June 11, 2007
This is mainly for people who are out of touch with math concepts for a long time. Really helpful for such people but will add little value for people who are looking for some advanced concepts and other tricks
