The GMAT Number Properties Strategy Guide delves into all the characteristics of numbers tested on the GMAT, covering both simple and complicated concepts. Using the fundamental techniques and nuanced strategies developed in this guide, students will be able to tackle even the toughest GMAT problems involving prime numbers, consecutive integers, and many other topics.

As a result, students benefit from thorough and comprehensive subject material, clear explanations of fundamental principles, and step-by-step instructions of important techniques. In-action practice problems and detailed answer explanations challenge the student, while topical sets of Official Guide problems provide the opportunity for further growth. Used by itself or with other Manhattan Prep Strategy Guides, the GMAT Number Properties Strategy Guide will help students develop all the knowledge, skills, and strategic thinking necessary for success on the GMAT.

[Charles · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a quick and effective refresher of the mathematics commonly covered in middle school. I currently am tutoring two children in middle school math and so I have been regularly reviewing that specific content. Fundamentally the material being reviewed is basic number theory, exponents and roots.
The general tactic is to put forward a short section of explanatory text followed by a set of related short problems and then detailed solutions. The fundamental assumption made by the creators is that you have seen it before, just need to be reminded in a challenging way. If you have a need to relearn the material covered in junior high math classes for any reason, this book is a good choice.
