 Not enough for GMAT November 14, 2008
I just finished my GMAT exam yesterday and not found this book helpful. I like the layout of all the contents and the exercises are great. However, this book is only good for "refresh" my rusty memory. I need something more advanced. Besides, this book was published in 1999 and GMAT has gone a little more difficult than it was before. So, if you are like me who is preparing for GMAT, you can definitely get this book for a easy start, but make sure you get aother book that is more updated and more advanced.
 great review!!! October 30, 2008
this book is great, takes you from the most basic concepts to geometry and beyond. If you haven't done math in a couple of years then this is a great start for you.
Too simple. Dwells on basics for too long,omits a lot of important material. September 10, 2008
Dear Reader,
It's been a while since I've written a review,but this time i felt compelled.
The ultimate math refresher promises a lot and delivers very little to none. I bought it for an upcoming GMAT test. GMAT math is still substantially 'below' GRE levels, so I really don't understand how this book can claim to prepare for higher levels, when it doesn't even cover the full spectrum of GMAT necessities. While it will explain how to add fractions in almost painfull detail, proper treatment of nasty word problems, algebra- and ratio questions has been almost completely neglected.
I was extremely disappointed. I read a couple chapters and discarded it in favor of an EZ solutions practice book together with the official orange book. Even the Kaplan titles bring more to the table then this thing. All in all disappointing.
Great Time Saver August 23, 2008
Wow, this book is awesome. I am already trying to study like 1000 subjects with the GMAT, but this book breaks it down. First it test you on your problem areas, then gives you a page number to reference if you missed a question, then you just fix the problem areas and move on. Great book!
A great warm-up! August 11, 2008
This book is perfect for those who have a) not had a math class in a while or b) little confidence in their math skills. As one of the mathematically crippled myself, I felt I needed a brush up on my skills. This is a great entry-level book with wonderful step-by-step instructions, both of methodology and practice problems.
This is a "leg up" book, though. You definitely need to couple this book with more advanced practice to be successful on the GRE. Try the Barron's comprehensive study aid.
