Math Review For Standardized Tests (Cliffs Test Prep) Review
After several years, I have decided to take the GRE, in order to apply to graduate school. The only problem is the content on the test. English? No problem. Vocab? Got it. Math? Math? Really? Math? I am decidedly toast.
Or would be, were it not for Cliffsnote Math Review for Standardized Tests. If you or someone you know is preparing for any standardized test, I highly recommend this volume on math. When this math review arrived on my doorstep from Amazon, I placed it on my dresser and tried unsuccessfully to ignore it.
But, alas, I picked it up one day and tied my seat to the chair to do an hour's worth of review. I opened it with much fear, because I was sure that I would not understand and that I would fail. My fears, though, were unrealized. From page one, the explanations were simple and easy to understand. The material seems to move at just the right pace. Not so fast that I get lost and fail to understand, but also not too slow. Going to slow I think would be just as frustrating.
So, if you are like me and are struggling with what are proper fractions and what are improper fractions, this book is for you. And, if you think you have a pretty good grasp on mathematics and just a review, this book would work for you also.
Bravo Cliffsnotes, you may have saved my sanity!

MIRACLE BOOK - Catherine -
I have every GRE study guide imaginable but this book is all I needed. It's quick, precise, gets to the point and...get this...I am improving my math skills immensely...If you find all the GRE book "explanations" more confusing than helpful, BUY THIS BOOK!
great review book - Sonya -
Excellent study guide. All topics covered thoroughly. The only downfall is that pre-calculus and above is not covered.
Awesome Math Review! - kitkatthecat -
This book would be helpful to anyone studying to take a the math portion of a standardized exam. I'm studying to take the GRE in a couple months. I'm a chemistry major and have taken math up to vector calculus and linear algebra, but I forgot simple things I learned in geometry and algebra. In each chapter of the book, you first take a diagnostic test to see your areas of weakness, then you review those areas and take another test at the end. I'm not all the way done studying with this book, but it is very clear and organized. The explanations are written in a simple, understandable way. Also, this book is very thorough. It is helpful if you don't know any math at all or if you just need a good review of essential skills!
