The information in the actual GMAT booklet proved invaluable. I received the study guides of which one was the math refresher workbook. While viewing the data that was presented by your company, I decided to order materials to prepare for the GMAT.

Essential Mental Math Refreshment! I HIGHLY recommend this. I started studying for my GMAT with the normal practice problems and I noticed that my quick mental math was slow and I was making stupid mistakes (I'm currently an engineering student so this was even more frustrating to me than it should have been). So, after some research I posted this book and I'm so happy that I did. It's exactly what I need. It describes concepts so well and in multiple ways so regardless of how you learned it in grade school, it can re-teach you quickly. After it reviews a concept, it has basic practice problems and then so. A great refresher - especially for the non-math-inclined I picked up a copy of this book prior to taking the GRE. I am a terrible math student, always have been, so I was quite happy (ok, maybe happy is the wrong word - I was not as terrified) upon reading this book and finding it to be exactly as the title indicated. It takes you through, step by step, most of the old math problems and formulas in an easy-to-follow manner. I know it made a significant difference in improving my second attempt at the GRE, and was enough to get my score high enough to meet my university's requirements.I'd definitely recommend this for anyone who. Amazon Customer said Good but might not be enough if you haven't had algebra in a while. This book does a good job of showing you what will be on the test and gives some explanation for how to do it. However, I was so rusty I needed more explanation. I found the explanations in this book were quite confusion. What I did though, was pair this book with Practical Algebra, A Self-Teaching Guide and I was golden. I would use the other book to re-learn how to do something and then come back here to practice and get a good idea of how the GRE would phrase questions.
