Good for quant background and practice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2015

Verified Purchase

Overall, this is an extremely good resource for reviewing the GMAT quant methods, which will end up tripping you up, even if you know some of the harder concepts. If, like me, you needed more background and importantly PRACTICE in applying these methods, then this book will be very helpful for you as it is full of exercises to bring the point home.

I have been working with the kindle version, in which the formatting from page to page can be awkward and also some powers look like normal numbers, though most of them seem fine. This has not taken away from the value I take from the book but it's annoying so be prepared. Also, using the kindle version, when you look at the answer sheets for exercises, use the location feature to get back to the question page as the scrolling becomes extremely tedious very quickly otherwise.

Great book. Each chapter has questions all the way through to test your knowledge with detailed answers and explanations at the end of each chapter as well as more drills to test you at the end! Their explanations are so good, I've been able to work through these on my own. If you've not done maths for a while or you're not as confident in your maths skills in your GMAT prep, I'd highly recommend.

Fantastic book. Been using others to prepare and this is by far the most useful/clear. Highly recommend, if like me, you need to brush up on core maths skills before you can really make progress in the Math section of the GMAT.

I used this book to go back to basics. Picked up a couple of tricks along the way and has made me a bit faster at tackling problems.

I highly recommend this book. Everything is extremely well described step by step. If you need a good reminder from high-school then this book is for you. You will not regret the purchase.

Erstklassige Auffrischung des Mittelstufenstoffs

Reviewed in Germany on 22 October 2019

Vorab: Dieses Buch ist genial! Nicht nur für den GMAT.

Ich habe mir das Buch gekauft um mir die Grundlagen der in der Mittelstufe vermittelten Mathematik wieder anzueignen. Die Schulzeit ist bei mir schon ein paar Jahre her und nach einem erfolgreich abgeschlossenem Bachelor in Accounting & Taxation möchte ich nun einen Finance Master machen. Für die Programme an renommierten Universitäten wird fast immer der GMAT gefordert. Bei der Vorbereitung habe ich schnell gemerkt, dass es oftmals an den Grundlagen scheitert. Diese werden in diesem Buch genial in kleinen Schritten anhand von Beispielen und mit vielen Übungsaufgaben erläutert. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad von vielen Aufgaben ist eher mäßig aber das sind die Aufgaben im GMAT teilweise auch. Das schwierige ist die Aufgaben in nur 2 Minuten lösen zu können. Dafür müssen mathematische Grundlagen im Schlaf sitzen und genau darauf zielt das Übungsbuch ab. Basics werden vertieft und teilweise Tricks vermittelt, für dich ich in der Schule sehr dankbar gewesen wäre. Nach den Drill-Sets hat man den kompletten Stoff verinnerlicht und ist sicher in der Anwendung.

Für Menschen die wie ich die Grundlagen wiederholen/festigen wollen genial. Wer die Grundlagen sicher beherrscht wird sich größtenteils unterfordert fühlen. Für die GMAT-Vorbereitung insgesamt uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Habe ca. 2 Wochen gebraucht um das Buch vollständig durchzuarbeiten.

Das Buch ist inbesondere auch für Eltern geeignet, die ihren Kindern Mittelstufenstoff erklären wollen. Die Herangehensweise ist in diesem Buch m.E. weitaus verständlicher als in vielen Schulbüchern.

A Bible for people who want the GMAT standard quant from the basics

Reviewed in India on 19 October 2017

Verified Purchase

A great book with each and every concept explained in the most elaborate way. Even a person who is averse to algebra and geometry (because of its complicated appearance) can master the concepts by just going through it! But for a good quant score don't forget to complete the advanced quant after you are done with this.
