I am currently reading Princeton Review's "Cracking The GMAT". I heard that this book has a pretty weak Math Review. Do you guys have any suggestions on books that have a really thurough review on the math section. So far I own these:

The 3 OG books
PR Cracking The GMAT

From what Amazon says Barron's is better but EZ solutions is the best for math review.

Thanks ahead of time!

well, I have just started GMAT prep. I am currently studing Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook. This book is preety good if you want to freshen up your basics. It has a good combination of easy,medium and hard questions.

I'd also vote in favor of the Kaplan Math workbook. If your skills in maths are rusty then this book is a good resource to refresh your math!!!
But this is only for review. If you wanna practice then OG is the best book on the face of the planet!!!!

Hey guys,

Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like i'll add kaplan's math workbook to my repetoire before I start cracking hardcore at the OG. Does anyone know anything about the Barron's book or EZ solutions?

Thanks guys!

Manhattan Review Turbocharge your GMAT Math book was extremely helpful.

The OG is a must-have, as others have pointed out.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
