Can someone review GMAT Hacks Total Math

How does it compare to the Manhattan Guides? How good of a job does it do with geometry, exponents, and number properties specifically?

I like it. It complements nicely, although overlapping, with the MGMAT guides. There's a nice balance between content, drills and GMAT-like practice questions associated for all of the sixty something odd chapters. I wouldn't get it if you're on a budget as the book is pretty pricey ($50) for a softcopy (.pdf file). I actually spent a little more on the book as I took it to Kinkos, printed it, and bound the pages together.

Thanks for the response. One more question, how many pages is it?

How does the Geometry section compare to the MGMAT guide?

Honestly, I don't think the Geometry was as good as the other material in the book. It's not good but it's not bad either.
