Customer Reviews

GED prep
This book has lots of material all under one cover. There are lots of problems for reinforcing the concepts taught in the examples and the difficulty level increases as progress is made through the book. I do wish that it would have a little more lengthy explanation and a few more example problems when a new concept is taught, but all in all, it does the job of covering the math needed to succeed on the math part of the GED test.

Not very helpful
It is a study guide but not a very good one. It doesn't go step by step on how to solve or workout a problem. It tells you what to do to solve a problem but not HOW to do it. I thought the CD would be a copy of the book but it was just more practice tests. I purchased the book to help me study but I had to throw it aside in frustration and just pull out a high school text book on Algebra I since it was easier for me to use.

Too vague on all areas
This book was too vague to really explain anything worth learning. It would just start to get into an area that was on the test and wouldn't take that next step.

I bought this book for my husband and he did pass on the first try at 31 years old, but he didn't really use much from it. He found reviewing multiplication flash cards was really the key to passing the test.

If you are looking for help with the math portion of the GED test, don't bother buying this book. Invest $3.00 in some flash cards from Wal-Mart!
