QUANT MATERIAL

Math Word Problems

This book is NEW (2009) preparation material for GRE Quantitative section.

Getting a top score on the quantitative section of the GRE, SAT and GMAT requires far more than plugging numbers into formulas. Students must apply their mathematical skills to convoluted word problems that test their ability to read clearly, interpret quickly, and determine the optimal plan of attack. Most importantly, they must be ready for the typical tricks and traps that the test writers use over and over again to snag unsuspecting students.

This publication presents the hardest, trickiest, most convoluted word problems you are likely to see on the GRE, SAT, and GMAT - and shows you how to tackle each one quickly and confidently. We will test your knowledge (and speed) for every topic from addition to probability, including all of those annoying word problems involving mixtures, age, rates, and geometry. Use this book to fill in the gaps - and to find creative ways to solve math word problems without breaking a sweat.

It’s called “Math Word Problems” cause if I reveal the real name it will be soon banned… But if you know it – don’t post it in comments.


As for me: at first I was confused cause it was for GRE and for SAT and for GMAT (as you know, level of math in every test differs), but then after I had a look - it seemed very good prep material. Lots of problems to solve, very good for practice and training math skills. It definately covers all the word problems and I highly recommend it.

ETS - GRE Math Review

This review is designed to familiarize you with the mathematical skills and concepts likely to be tested on the Graduate Record Examinations General Test. The text includes many examples with solutions, and there is a set of exercises at the end of each section. The following material, which is divided into the four basic content areas of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis, is not intended to be comprehensive. It is assumed that certain basic concepts are common knowledge to all examinees. Emphasis is, therefore, placed on the more important skills, concepts, and defmitions, and on those particular areas that are frequently confused or misunderstood. If any of the topics seem especially unfamiliar, we encourage you to consult appropriate mathematics texts for a more detailed treatment of those topics.

As for me: Before test you may review this review.
