 Didn't know this book existed... November 2, 2007

I am a private math tutor and a student of mine had purchased this book to assist in his ACT preparation. I found it extrememly helpful as a general math review, regardless of which test one is preparing for, and purchased a copy myself to assist other math students in the future. There is high emphasis on word problems, and almost all aspects of basic math (approaching calculus) are addressed with thorough explanation, answer keys, and knowledge tests. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a quick refresher that will aid in understanding math concepts for years to come.

I ordered this book to help my daughter study for the GRE's. She says that it is very helpful.
An absolute must if you are preparing for the GRE yourself October 21, 2007

This book is the first that I have encountered that can actually TEACH me math. All of the others that have tried have just gave me a headache. It starts with the most basic concepts and works its way into the more complex. If you are preparing for the GRE or SAT yourself, this book is worth way more than what you'll pay for it on Amazon. Without it, I would have been completely, utterly, lost.
One suggestion, though: If you're planning on taking the GRE, you should also purchase another prep book specifically for the test such as The GRE Test for Dummies, Fifth Edition. That way, you can see exactly what you need to study from the GRE book and skip all of the extraneous material in the Cliffs. This book is extremely comprehensive and without taking this step, you'll likely be spending time on a lot of things that won't show up on the exam.

I cannot tell you how much I love this book. I was preparing to take the GRE after graduating college and hadn't taken any math whatsoever since high school. I used Kaplan's Premier program and it brought back some of what I used to know, but I was still getting about half the questions wrong on my practice tests. I got this book a week before I took the test, was able to go through the whole thing in a week (while working a 40 hours a week) and it really built my math skills from the ground up. It really assumes you know nothing, but by the end, you know all you need to!
I just took the test this morning and my quantitative score was 800 - totally unexpected and it would not have happened if I had just stuck with the Kaplan program.

This is a great review to use before taking any standardized test. It has a diagnostic section, so you can test your proficiency and move on to the next section. Very well done!
