Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook (Kaplan Test Prep)

Really really good for additional problems for quant that you may not find on other sites and sources.

If you are an average maths student from India, you would be able to get straight through this book with no difficulty. At the end the chapters I stopped verifying the answers, not due to arrogance but due to confidence of being taught in indian education system.

GOOD FOR PRACTICE

Least user friendly book. The math is better explained in GMAT official guide.

It's good but not great. I think subscribing to Magoosh or any other online learning platform is a better way to invest your money!

Book is quite fancy. (cover)But the content inside is very basic. If you are aiming 700+ score you will be disappointed. However, If you consider yourself weak in quant you can go for this book.

Both the GMAT Premier and GMAT Math Book more than met my expectations. I am really impress with how both study review books thoroughly breakdown the explanations in the answers, and so far these study reviews are preparing me well for the upcoming GMAT exam.

very helpful. Simple and on the point.

low level! if you need to start from scratch!

This is a great book. the verbal is not as good as this one.

I got 99th percentile on my GMAT 750(49, 42) and i used 3 books: this one, Kaplan's Premier Book, and the Verbal Workbook. I had access to PR book and GMAT Prep, but I did only tests from those. I found Kaplan's materials of quality and difficulty. Some whine that Kaplan is too hard, but that's good - if you can handle Kaplan, you can handle the GMAT. Please see the section at the very bottom of the review - I have included a list of my favorite problems from this book - those are the most fun!~~~ PROS: ~~~- Condensed math concept review - straight to the point- No smart-aleck advice about some stupid tricks - only math review - exactly what I needed- Solid problems that illustrate a lot of traps and multiple ways of solving them- Starts with the basics - arithmetic, integers, primes, etc - the stuff that anybody can uses a review of. A lot of applicants underestimate how much they forgot the basics and skim/skip them. I would not do that, and that book does not either.- Finally, the number of questions and quizzes in this book is impressive. I am giving a short summary of some of the sections of the book and number of quizzes and test questions. Quiz questions are math only; Test questions are GMAT-type questions.~~~ CONS: ~~~- No probability or combinations review, which would be very helpful. Get something. I bombed my probability question on the GMAT.- I went through this book at least 3 times (helping others) and I found that solutions don't include some of the most genius ways to handle the problems. I think the authors of the questions went beyond themselves.- Errors (even though this is the 6th edition and it barely changed compared to the 1st and 2nd, there are a few typos and just careless errors - it's a shame)- Not as thorough as the MGMAT guides (those cover more topics in-depth and perhpas a wider area). Also, if you are rusty with math (really rusty), you may want to get the Kaplan Math Foundations or Foundations of GMAT Math by Manhattan GMAT.--- PREVIOUS EDITION ---The changes in the 9th 2015 edition are very minor and you can easily purchase the previous editions (including 8th, and 7th) if the books are cheap enough (often for a fraction of the cost). The books are 99.9% the same with several problematic questions replaced (a few of the advanced questions)Arithmetic-Number operations (15 quiz questions and 15 test questions)-Number properties (15, 19)-Averages (10, 19)-Ratios (10, 24)-Percents (25, 25)-Powers and Roots (12, 17)Algebra-Level One (20, 26)-Level Two (15, 15)Word Problems-Level One (10, 26)-Level Two (37)-Test (40)Geometry-Lines (6, 14)-Triangles (16, 21)-Quadrilaterals (15, 19)-Circles (19, 13)-Multiple Figures (4, 15)-Solids (6, 8)Data Sufficiency-Test 1 (25)-Test 2 (25)~~~ HARD & INTERESTING QUESTIONS ~~~Also, here is the list of the Most Interesting GMAT questions from this book (some are hard and others require an unusual approach) - make sure you can answer every one of them and know how to solve them by heart:Number properties test: 8, 13, 14, 17, 19Averages test: 4, 6Ratios: 22Percents: 4, 7, 8, 22Powers and Roots: 5, 12Algebra test 2: 2, 6Basic Word Problem Exercise (p. 131): 6, 8, 9Word Problems Test 1: 4, 19, 24Percents, Ratios, and Rates: 34General WP Test: 31, 35, 40GeometryTriangles Exercise: 7, 11Triangles Test: 2, 15, 18Quadraliterals and other polygons: 14, 16, 17Circles: 2, 5, 10Multiple Figures: 2, 6, 9, 14Solids: 5DS1: 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24DS2: 3, 7, 9, 10, 15, 21, 23, 24~~~ WHY ONLY 4 STARS? ~~~1. No significant updates over the years. This book has remained virtually unchanged since the second edition (for the last 8 years). You are welcome to purchase any of the previous editions to have the same effect.2. It is a good/great book but there are now other great books out there (MGMAT Guides, Veritas Prep Guides) that give this book a run for its moneyFinally, please make sure you have a copy of the Official Guide for the GMAT (OG) - if you have not discovered it, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy as it is published by GMAC and contains 900 official GMAT Questions.Let me know if you have any questions - I reply to comments!Good Luck on the GMATBB, GMAT 750 (q49, v42)
