Ok overview

[Aligata · Rating 1 out of 5]

I loved the way the book was laid out, however I found some mathematical errors (and I'm no genius) and this book has gone through way too many editions to have any errors. Otherwise, the book explained problems better than the Dummies series.

I was really excited to find a novel-sized GRE study guide... until I started reading the answer explanations. It suggests doing most things the hard way. I definitely wouldn't suggest this for anyone looking for anything beyond the most basic "cheat sheets."

Arg. Pretty good considering what you have to do - the tips given are helpful and easy to read when you are reading them in the car before the actual test
