This book is loaded with errors, and offers whole sections where something is mentioned but never explained or reviewed. As someone who obtained a degree nearly 20 years ago, and who professionally doesn't see anything tougher then slope questions day to day, I was hoping for a review of topics I just don't see everyday. Instead, there's a more through review of primary math skills and next to nothing on the higher math that's now taught in algebra 2, but wasn't when I was in high school. It's incredibly frustrating to ask a high school student to fill in the blanks the book leaves behind, and then to ask them to review your work because your answer and the explanation don't match up.

Like other users have mentioned the book has errors. It should be noted that errors in test prep materials are common, and the errors present in this book aren't anything outrageous. Having a basic grasp of arithmetic and algebra should allow one to double check their work when in doubt with an answer choice, which only takes about 2-3 minutes. Thus overall I feel this was a good supplemental text to prepare for the math section of the GRE.

This book is so frustrating!!! I've never felt that I was good at Math and I've noticed SO MANY MISTAKES! Most of them have been in the 'explanation' for answers section which has frustrated me to tears-literally. Please, please...buy another book. I wish I had.

Although somewhat helpful on most things, this book has so many mistakes (grammatical and otherwise) that it's not even worth it and makes you question how reliable it is. Luckily, alot of the mistakes are pretty obvious, but it's still frustrating and confusing, especially if you're not that great at math and are relying on a superior knowledege to help you out. You'd be better off asking your 6th grade brother who made a C in math for help than buying this book.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I found a lot of basic mistakes in this book that made me feel like I couldn't trust the information in the book. (since when is 1/5 equal to .6? And this is on a chart that they suggest you memorize!) I don't think I will continue with the book because when we get to math that I am even less familiar with, I may not catch the mistakes.
