| Don't bother with the Kindle version!The information may be great, but I can't comment on that because the formulas are so small that they are nearly impossible to see. Increasing the font size doesn't help because they're not standard text. It's also difficult to navigate around, which you will want to do a lot because the problems are one place, and the answers answers and explanations are elsewhere. The GRE math exercises do not lend themselves to the Kindle, unfortunately. Don't spend your money on this product!
Great Exam Review BookThis book is great for those who struggle with the GRE math section. or math in general. I'm using this Kaplan book and also the Peterson's book (which is just as good, they're all good, if not just for making me study and practice). Definitely a worthwhile purchase, especially at the Amazon.com price!
Increased my math score by 200!This book was a huge help for me! I bought it a little less than four months ago, and all the while I paced my studying habits (15-30 minutes every other night or so). When my test got closer, I upped the frequency and length of studying time. I found this book to be helpful with recalling the oft forgotten (yet necessary) basics of math: FOIL, general number properties, volume and surface area, etc. It was profoundly helpful simply by the fact that it was not difficult to understand, and if something appeared to be beyond my grasp, I reread the information after attempting the problem. Plus, the price isn't bad either.
I looked at lots of other Math study books and due to the reviews this one received, I went with it somewhat hopeful, but not really expecting anything. I was surprised, and I sit here before you all attesting to an increase in my quantitative scores by approximately 200 points (I say approximately because the last time I took the test was longer than 5 years ago)! 200 extra points was great! I highly recommend this book if you want to up your math scores a little bit. I even recommend it if you are just looking for a brushup before exam day.
Kaplan/Princeton Review combinationRequiring additional prep in mathematics, I followed the advice of previous users of The Princeton Review's, 'Cracking the GRE, 2010' in combination with Kaplan's 'GRE Exam Math Workbook, Seventh Edition'. 'Cracking the GRE, 2010' was a great comprehensive prep, covering not only the effective techniques to utilize when taking the exam but a great (re)primer for the quantitative section. After completing the 'GRE Exam Math Workbook', I used the The Princeton Review website to access and take their version of the Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) used by ETS (the GRE author and administrator) - which is included as a part of the 'Cracking the GRE' work tools. It was great to get a feel for the exam and it was perfect for applying what I learned in writing the two essays that are now a part of the GRE. My advice, immerse yourself by blocking off a good three hours at a time for reading and testing on each chapter. Give yourself NO LESS then four weeks of good solid study prior to test.
As for results, I had previously taken a sample paper exam for the GRE,to confirm my suspicion that I needed significant study to prep for exam. After being out of university for over ten years (and already weak in mathematics) my scores were sobering. Now, the paper exam is not directly comparable to the Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) exam that ETS utilizes but I think my improvement was significant enough to mention after using the Princton/Kaplan combo.
My quantitative points improved a solid 100%! That in itself was worth every penny invested in these two prep books. I scored average in the verbal section but I still experienced a 48% increase in points pushing me above the 90th percentile.
Lots of practiceLots of exercises and more in-depth explanations for when a crash review is not enough. It could easily become an elemental math/algebra/geometry/statistics review textbook and, at the same time, contains lots of tips to prepare you for the standardized nature of the GRE.
The book is kind of heavy but the material is durable.
