3.0 out of 5 stars Best Math Review, May 16, 2000

This review is from: Arco Everything You Need to Score High on the Gre: 2000 Edition (Master the Gre) (Paperback)

Well of all the gre books i've studied i think this book has the best math review section of all with pretty good excercise questions help you calculate faster and develop different type of skills needed for the math section in gre. I don't like the CATs given in this book which are in CDROM due to 2 reasons. Firstly their scoring system and the division of questions of different kind of skills and then the range it predicted was'nt right too. I've taken the CAT in it on the last day before my GRE exam and it predicted V=660-700, Q=710-750, A=660-700 and in the real one the next day i got V=560, Q=790, A=790. So don't depend upon its predictions about you. Any how I got this book only for the Math review which paid dividends for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better study guides out there..., May 21, 2000

ARCO's GRE study guide is fairly cheap, but there are much better guides out there (KAPLANS or the PRINCETON REVIEW). The book itself is "verbose," to say the least, and the tips are not really tips at all. Who really has time to sift through 500 pages of stuff? The only redeeming aspect of the guide is it's vocabulary list, which, compared with the other guides, is really lacking. I'd invest my money in something else. If anything, you can make a great door prop with it...

This review is from: Arco Everything You Need to Score High on the Gre: 2000 Edition (Master the Gre) (Paperback)

Recientemente adquirí el libro GRE* 2000 edition ISBN-0-02-863225-7 ( libro con CD-ROM), pero me llama la atención de encontrar algunos errores que pueden ser corregidos, para no bajar la credibilidad del texto, el cual considero metódico y muy didáctico.

Agradezco tomar en cuenta los comentarios que anexo.

1)page 39, Problema 17 Al comienzo del enunciado debe decir "pq (diferente) 0" en donde dice "pq=0"

2)page 275, Problema 14 El signo de la fracción 7/5 esta errado, donde dice "+7/5" debe haberse indicado "-7/5", según la explicación en la pagina 291, incluso la respuesta indicada, es solo es correcta si se efectúa la corrección anterior

3)page. 290, Problema 11 (Explicación) El razonamiento no esta bien, donde se indica el valor de n, debe ser -4; a pesar de ese error, el razonamiento no es correcto. Si piensa dejar la pregunta, la mejor respuesta es D "No se puede asegurar con la información dada". page 276, Problema 18, La opción E) tiene un error de tipeo, y esta bien escrita en la explicación en la pagina 291, problema 18.
