I'm a full-time GRE tutor, so I bought this to see if it was a resource I could recommend to my students, who often need to relearn a LOT of math. This book is a solid treatment of the math concepts the GRE tests, as well as a decent overview of the different kinds of questions on the test. But, those with higher than average score goals will need to supplement with other books (and of course everyone should be working with ETS's Official Guide).
Things I liked:
- covers most of the concepts that can appear on the GRE
- each concept has a good number of practice exercises of varying difficulty
- the 100 "most important" concepts list at the back is a good checklist
Things that could be improved:
- the questions are usually too easy - or more importantly, too SIMPLE - the questions on the GRE are usually more creative and complex, especially at the higher score levels
- in my opinion, the time management advice only applies to the top 20 percent of scorers
- the book seems to have been modeled on the math concepts that the GRE TELLS us the test covers, NOT on actual observation of GRE tests or practice tests. What the GRE says it will test and what it actually does test are sometimes two different things.
So what you're getting is coverage of the concepts you'll need to know without getting the difficulty level or complexity of real GRE math questions. This book will help to a degree, but you'll definitely want to use another source of practice material as well. It's a pretty good resource for those who haven't done math in a long time.

I was getting 90%+ on the practice tests in this workbook, but the actual GRE questions were more complex. The same concepts were there, but the GRE takes them all a step further. In the end, I really enjoyed the format of the book and I'm happy with my final score, but I don't feel like I was quite as prepared as I could have been.
