Comprehensive Prep for GRE Math.
Every year, students pay $1,000 and more to test prep companies to prepare for the math section of the GRE. Now you can get the same preparation in a book.
Although the GRE math section is difficult, it is very learnable. GRE Math Prep Course presents a thorough analysis of GRE math and introduces numerous analytic techniques that will help you immensely, not only on the GRE but in graduate school as well.
Features:
Comprehensive Review: Twenty-three chapters provide the most thorough review of GRE math available.
Practice: Includes 164 examples and more than 600 exercises! Arranged from easy to medium to hard to very hard.
Diagnostic Test: The diagnostic test measures your strengths and weaknesses and directs you to areas you need to study more.
Duals: These are pairs of similar problems in which only one property is different. They illustrate the process of creating GRE questions.
If your target is a 700+ score, this is the book!
Please note that some students preparing for the GMAT have been buying the GRE Math Prep Course. We are pleased to announce that we publish two books expressly for the GMAT math section: GMAT Math Prep Course and GMAT Data Sufficiency Prep Course, both available here at Amazon.
1. This is a great book to get more tricks and knowledge for the quantitative part of the GRE. It has hundreds of exercises of several types, it is well-written and reviews in detail every subject tested in quantitative GRE. Finally, it has a good, thorough diagnosis test. In summary, if you have a book for general preparation (like the ones sold by Kaplan) and you really need to have a high quantitative score (for those who want to attend courses like computer sciences, physics or economics), this one will be a great complement! --Guilherme Oliveira
2. I have to say that I love this book. I took a Princeton Review GRE class. I started off with a 610 on the math section. When I was finished with the class, I was getting about 650 on the practice tests. I have been working through the GRE Math Prep Course to get a more rigorous treatment of the problems. I took the Powerprep test today and got a 750. The Nova book does things at a much deeper level than the other stuff I have looked at. --A Student
3. At first I tried the Kaplan, Barron's and Princeton Review books, but this by far is the best book if you want to do well. You will probably need to buy Barron's GRE exam book to get basic review of math or the Kaplan GRE exam workbook if you are a little rusty. But after reviewing these books, definitely get this one. I have gone over this book for the past four weeks and my math skills have dramatically improved. The other brands may get you to an average score but this book will definitely get you scoring highly (700+). I took a practice test last week and did very poorly and in just a week of intense review of this book (timing myself rather than just going through the book slowly to understand the concepts) my score has gone up by 100 points! I hope to keep improving since I have yet to master every concept in this book, but I believe that with each concept I master my score will definitely improve. --greyay
