Summary: Good Practice
Comment: I think there are plenty of examples to get someone who knows (but has forogtten) GMAT related math. If you are bad at math like I am this book will bring you up to speed.

Summary: Only if you only need math review
Comment: I'm a GMAT tutor with 10+ years of successful students. Here's what I suggest for the GMAT:
1. Use the Kaplan CD (as cheesy as the presentation is, the tests are very good). I've heard complaints that the prep tests from Kaplan are too hard, and I have to disagree with the point being made by these students. The only way, on a computer-adaptive test, to increase your score is to test using HARDER, not easier problems. I may kick ass at medium level questions, but unless I want a medium level score, practicing at a lower level hurts rather than helps. The Princeton Review Verbal Workout does not come with a CD.
2. Ignore the Kaplan book. Use The Princeton Review books (either Cracking the GMAT or GMAT Workouts for Math and Verbal) for tricks and psychology. Try the Official Guide for extra problems and basic review issues (but use as much of the Princeton psychology as you can -- the Official Guide encourages you to do the problems straight, and that's a huge waste of time). The Princeton tests are buggy for sure (Hello! Princeton Review! Fix this!) but are still fairly accurate.
3. Take as many practice tests as you can. That means Kaplan, Princeton Review, PowerPrep. Arco, Barrons, Petersons, and Dummies are all awful. Don't bother with their instruction or their tests. On Princeton Review and PowerPrep, knock 30 points off your score, just to be safe.
4. Check out your local library. Many public libraries have crazy collections of old, out of print Official Guides, chock full o paper-and-pencil tests going back a good 20 years. By all means, use these -- they're a goldmine of practice questions.
Good luck!

Summary: Loved it!
Comment: I love this book. Out of the seven I bought, including books by Kaplan, Barron's and ETS, this book was by far the best. 16 years after my last math class, I scored a 720. It was simple, easy to follow and covered the hardest math the GMAT can throw at you, without forgetting the basics (I didn't even remember how to add fractions). It was a lifesaver. I highly recommend it.
