GMAT : Quantative Review (The Official Guide)

The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review is the quant supplement for the Official Guide series published by GMAC, the creators of the GMAT. As is the case with the Official Guide for GMAT Review and the Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review, this book contains retired GMAT questions and as such is a great source of practice problems. With real GMAT questions from previous GMAT exams, this brand-new study guide can help you focus on your math skill, with nearly 300 answers and explanations in the following areas: Arithmetic- Algebra- Geometry- Problem Solving- Data Sufficiency.

However, the concepts section of the quant supplement is not worth your time. It is virtually a copy-paste of the equivalent section in the Official Guide for GMAT Review, in itself undoubtedly insufficient for anyone looking to get a high score in quant. Although “the math skills tested [typo in the supplement – the authors wrote “test” instead of “tested”] on the GMAT test are quite basic” as the book suggests in one of its “Myth vs. Fact” information boxes, basic math can and will be tricky on the GMAT. The book contains:

• 176 Problem Solving
• 124 Data Sufficiency

Pros

• Retired GMAT questions will familiarize the test taker with commonly-tested question patterns on the GMAT. Unofficial questions sometimes lack the structure of actual questions; this is because test prep companies have not succeeded in replicating the GMAT official “style” in their own practice problems
• It’s great value for your money – particularly useful for GMAT hopefuls having trouble with Data Sufficiency, since 124 extra practice questions of this GMAT-specific type of problem will be valuable
• Questions are ordered in increasing level of difficulty, so if you are interested in a particular level (say advanced), you can just focus on the corresponding part of the book

Cons

• Does not provide many advanced practice problems, so if you feel you have a solid quant background, it’s sufficient to go through the regular Official Guide for GMAT Review book
• Tips/strategies section is below average, so expect to spend some money on a guidebook or two that provides better GMAT concept overview
• Explanations are not as high quality as those found on the Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review. You might notice that there are easier or faster ways to solve some of the problems presented
