Review
While viewing the data that was presented by your company, I decided to order materials to prepare for the GMAT. I received the study guides of which one was the math refresher workbook. After being out of the college enviornment for over 20 years, I was amazed at how little I had retained. But, I can say without reservation the information in the math refresher workbook was vital in my grasping the materials for the GMAT. The information in the actual GMAT booklet proved invaluable. Thanks for being a provider of information that was crucial to my understanding of the GMAT. -- David F. Wagoner, Sr.

Not enough for GMAT
I just finished my GMAT exam yesterday and not found this book helpful. I like the layout of all the contents and the exercises are great. However, this book is only good for "refresh" my rusty memory. I need something more advanced. Besides, this book was published in 1999 and GMAT has gone a little more difficult than it was before. So, if you are like me who is preparing for GMAT, you can definitely get this book for a easy start, but make sure you get aother book that is more updated and more advanced.

great review!!!
this book is great, takes you from the most basic concepts to geometry and beyond. If you haven't done math in a couple of years then this is a great start for you.

Too simple. Dwells on basics for too long,omits a lot of important material.
Dear Reader,

It's been a while since I've written a review,but this time i felt compelled.
The ultimate math refresher promises a lot and delivers very little to none. I bought it for an upcoming GMAT test. GMAT math is still substantially 'below' GRE levels, so I really don't understand how this book can claim to prepare for higher levels, when it doesn't even cover the full spectrum of GMAT necessities. While it will explain how to add fractions in almost painfull detail, proper treatment of nasty word problems, algebra- and ratio questions has been almost completely neglected.
I was extremely disappointed. I read a couple chapters and discarded it in favor of an EZ solutions practice book together with the official orange book. Even the Kaplan titles bring more to the table then this thing. All in all disappointing.
