Good book. Provides comprehensive review about math part. But pretty easy for GMAT takers.

I made the mistake of thinking that “GRE Math” meant “GRE Math Subject test” which it DOESN’T. This book is for the math section of the general GRE and NOT for the GRE math subject test.

I took the GRE and got a 710 on the math section (70th percentile). I did about 5 practice problems from each section of the book over a 3 day period, taking notes on the shortcuts provided by the book. The book has good tips that you need on the exam to complete it in time.
I took the GMAT today and scored a 58th(39 scaled) percentile on the math, which would be a 41 had I answered all the questions. I reviewed what I studied for the GRE for 3 hours. I really only attempted 30 of 37, so I suppose this score is okay. Honestly, had I studied for 3 days as I did for the GRE, this score would probably be 80th percentile. My verbal was 93rd percentile and it was way easier than the GRE (56 percentile), unless you are a dictionary whiz. This tests your ability to pick the least incorrect sentence from a selection of poor sentences, and skim passages for information. So much for these tests predicting ability!
Anyhow, buy the book, study the tips, and practice before taking. And remember that you don’t need stellar scores to get into a good program, but it helps. And if you don’t apply, you’ll never know if you could have gotten in….

I studied for the GMAT for 3 months and scored a 680 — 90th percentile. My quantitative score was a 41 (64%) and my verbal was a 42 (96%). I decided to pound math for another five weeks, retake the GMAT and try to close the gap between my verbal and quant scores. After using this book and studying nothing but math for another month, I scored a 710 (94%). Quant was a 42 (66%) and verbal was a 46 (99%). I actually increased the gap by one percentile point! Doh!
Feel free to draw your own conclusions from this. Math has never been a strength of mine, but I expected a better quant score after studying the quant side of the exam exclusively for five weeks.
I think this is probably a fine book for teaching the very basics, but I needed help with probability and permutation problems and others that this book doesn’t even touch. I was kind of disappointed that it didn’t go deeper. If you purchase it, definitely pick up another text that will give you a more rounded idea of the types of problems the GMAT asks. The Official Guide is invaluable and I learned some great test-taking strategies from the Princton Review’s “Cracking the GMAT” book. Overall I’m very happy with my score, but still a little frustrated about the math. I’m sure you’ll do better.
Good luck!!
