i love, love, love what kaplan has done for us with the math workbook. i haven't taken math for more than four years and so i was beyond rusty, but this book really does what it claims to do: it goes step by step and has easy to understand explanation for every question so even the math inept can pass the gre

This book offers a good overview of the math tested on the GRE General Test. It's essentially an overview of math concepts learned in high school - but this is the level of math tested on the general test. (Only the GRE Math Subject Test tests more advanced concepts like calculus.) If you are like me and have not taken any sort of math class in years and would like a refresher in Algebra and Geometry to prepare for the GRE General Test, then this book is a good place to start.
It provides overviews of the concepts - including how to apply them to the specific kinds of questions you will see on the GRE - and there are lots of practice problems, which are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels so you can focus on the level you're at in each section. The difficulty levels of the problems are comparable to the difficulty levels of the practice problems you can download from the ETS site itself. (The main difference is that the Kaplan book offers many more practice problems.)
However, if you already have a solid understanding of high school level math concepts, then even the most advanced problems in this book will seem easy. The Barron's "How to Prepare for the GRE" book is a much better book for practicing difficult math problems and upping your chances for an 800 in math. Overall, the Kaplan math workbook offers more practice problems than any other study resource I came across and is a great place to start if you're not already at the advanced level in math. It's also sufficient enough to use as your only math preparation if you're not aiming for the 800 level.

This book only contains 4 sections with problems and explanations: Arithmetic, Algebra, Word Problems, and Graphs. The problems are basic and are not for college math majors. I have taken practice GRE tests and this book fails to include anything past algebra 1. It's missing calculus and beyond (basically most of the test). Not recommended unless you need help with your high school math homework.
1 star for basically being a waste of money to me and not helping me with the GRE.
