Hey are good books, but dont really have a great explinations for problems. They just provide the ansewer with minimal verbal explination. If you are decent at quant, it will be a great refresher for you. But i am not, so i have to keep doing them over and over. I bet they would have been great in the actual class, which i did not attend.

I will leave the question of how good they are (since I work for the company), but we do cover probability, combinatorics, and all of the actual math rules, formulas, etc, that will show up on the test.

I just bought the ARCO's math review which has very good step by step explinations for math problems. I am using it to augment the MGMAT books for basics i just dont understand.

I am no expert, but a friend of mine at work actually turned me on to the MGMAT books. He jumped from a 610 to 680 by using their books. I thought i could achieve the same results, but i am absolutely horrilbe at math so i bought the ARCOs book to help.
