Wish I had read reviews..I wish I had read the reviews prior to purchasing this book in the bookstore. There are way too many typos in the written word and the mathematical problems. I went to their website and sent them an email describing all of the errors, and it came right back without a response. I will never purchase another Barron study manual!!
Do not buy!! Riddled with errors, will confuse and frustrate!!I am taking the GRE to apply to Psychology PhD programs. So, math has never been my field of study. I got this workbook and the Barron's General GRE (18th edition) to brush up on both areas, verbal and math.
The math workbook is RIDDLED with errors; in the chapters, the practice problems, AND in the solutions!!! For a student like me, who is not adept at math, this was VERY VERY VERY confusing and frustrating. I'd labor over a problem, check my answer, and be shocked that I got it wrong. It wasn't until I got outside help that we figured out that the BOOK WAS WRONG.
Typos, missing symbols, the wrong signs (+ instead of -, > instead of <, random "?" marks instead of lord knows what).
Please please PLEASE do not buy this book. I am going to buy the Kaplan math workbook tomorrow in hopes that it is better than this (it has 4/5 stars on Amazon).
The publishers and authors should be ashamed. The GRE is often the gateway, or barrier, to a person's entire future and career. And they "prep" you with this garbage, only to confuse and frustrate.
Waste of my time and money, and jeopardizes my GRE plans. Thankfully, I decided to ditch this book and I've got 5 weeks until my test date.
This book is horrible -- it prompted me to write my first review!The other reviews sum it up nicely -- I don't mind the presentation, formatting, etc., but the number and nature of the mistakes are absolutely inexcusable. It is clear that no one proof-read this. Completely shameful for anyone to charge money for this. It makes me want to Google-stalk the author and berate them soundly, perhaps even offering a few virtual ruler-on-the-knuckles lessons.
don't botherLousy with typos. It's like they didn't even edit it. You've got enough headaches, right?
Poorly organized.
Answers to exercise questions difficult to locate, poorly labelled.
Middle School statusThe Math Workbook is okay. The teaching style is very much like middle school math. Certain things are not really explained at all, while other things that are absolutely a given are fully described. There are also a bunch of typo's in the book which are a little distracting, but it's obvious that they are typo's and shouldn't teach you incorrectly. I wonder who edits these books. Overall it does the job for the price.
