Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook

I bought this book last summer (2009) and completed every practice and word question in the book which took me about 3 months taking my sweet time - you may do it much quicker. I BOMBED the Data Sufficiency portion even after all that studying and had no idea what I was going to do about the essays, so I enrolled in the Kaplan Online Course (the second cheapest option they offer at $599). The Online Course allows you to go through all of their "Core Courses" plus extra practice/-in-depth questions that help refine your knowledge in each subject. The other nice thing is that it comes with 6 full CAT tests (in addition to the free ones provided by [...]). Great tool - I am so glad I didn't pay for the more expensive courses and I will always keep this book around for reference. P.S. I ultimately scored 100 points higher (640) than my diagnostic on my final GMAT.

I've used several other GMAT books, including Kaplans own GMAT 800 (which is great). I bought this to get more math questions and explanations, and was horribly disappointed. The layout of this book is TERRIBLE-- the questions are all presented in groups by topic, with the answers scattered at the end of each chapter instead of following a group of questions, which means the answers are usually 10-40 pages behind the questions you are answering. To make matters worse, the answer keys DON'T HAVE LETTERS, so you can't jot down your answers as you go and quickly compare at the end (you have to write down the entire correct answer... doesn't that defeat the point of a *multiple choice* test?I am colossally disappointed, and will be seeing if Kaplan actually will back up their promise of a refund for dissatisfied customers.EDIT: Kaplan did indeed honor their guarantee and issued me a check for the purchase price. But, this is impractical, as I had to mail them the book, which cost half the purchase price in postage.

The GMAT is a horribly tricky test. This book will give you a step by step guide on how to take the test and assist you in preparing. I can attest to its effectiveness since it helped me not only get into graduate school, but complete it.

The book takes you through the concepts required for the gmat and does an ok job explaining them. But the answers are put in the back of the book making it very awkward to check them (no page number references) and there are a bunch of typos in the book relating to correct answers and questions. Once I hit my third typo the confidence I had in the book was gone and it became even more of a chore to use it.The gmat is frustrating enough as it is, don't make your studying for it even more so.

This Kaplan product will help you with all the topics presented in the GMAT Quantitative paper. It explains all the topics from fundamentals and has numerous examples. It also contains many past exam questions and is an overall good purchase if you have not done this type of work in a long time. I recommend buying this book about 2 months before you sit the actual exam. i also recommend that you also purchase another GMAT Quantitative book to further practice more questions as this alone is not sufficient to ace the test.

Work as expected.

Great practice questions.

Good product. Got the job done. Nothing too special or exciting.
