Good for practice questions but hopeless for actually learning techniques:
This book is fine for providing practice questions but hopeless for teaching techniques on how to answer questions. For example, this is the entire explanation it provides for how to multiply fractions: 10/9 x 3/4 x 8/15 first reduce (cancel) diagonally and vertically: 2/3 x 1/1 x 2/3 then multiply numerators together and denominators together: 2x1x2/3x1x3 = 4/9 Of course it provides no explanation how it got to 2/3 x 1/1 x 2/3, "how" to reduce diagonally and vertically,... more info
does not cover everything you need to know:
BE WARNED THIS BOOK IS NOT COMPRHENSIVE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN EVERYTING YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR THE MATH.

Great Book:
This one is just, excellent, may I say GRE maths for dummies!!!, having trouble with quantitative section...this is for you
Underrated:
I strongly feel that some of the reviews of this book posted here are too harsh. Judging from a few of the comments, it seems that some might expect this to prepare them for the GRE Math Subject Test - which is very different from this book's intention, which is to prepare one for the math section of the General Test. The level of difficulty of the problems is not too hard - if you're looking to score a 800, this may not be the book for you - but it's perfect for those of us struggling to get over the 650... more info
