5.0 out of 5 stars pros and cons, July 20, 2001

By

This review is from: Math Collection Professional Kit (CD-ROM)

I bought this product three weeks ago and I think that it will prove to be a very useful tool for teaching math. The idea of providing such a huge quantity of problems and solutions is quite unique (the publisher claims that this is the biggest collection in the world), and so far I have yet to find a similar product. The best part is that I can copy anything from the CD and use it to create and edit my own worksheets.

Pros: easy to use, includes all imaginable math subjects, detailed solution section (including hints), can be used to quickly create worksheets, only one disk (do not have to change disks all the time), uses MS Explorer to navigate the CD

Cons: not interactive (probably for some), not cheap, includes a couple of mistakes (publisher have to work on correcting them)

I think it was a good investment, I will be using it often from September.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simply Awful, June 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Math Collection Professional Kit (CD-ROM)

This is the worst software product that I have ever used! I tried to use it to prepare for the GMAT, but it is a complete joke. At least 1/3 of the problems that I reviewed had typos or other errors. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT. I REPEAT, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of questions, many wrong answers, July 2, 2001

By 

"seaotter718" (NY, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Math Collection Professional Kit (CD-ROM)

I bought this software to brush up with my math and because of the good reviews but I am a bit disappointed and here is why.

The questions and hints sections are fairly good but when it comes to the answers for the questions, you should becareful.

I noticed there were many careless mistakes in the solution section, such as 420 + 62 = 502, so on and so forth. If do decide to buy it, make sure you check the solution for its correctness. Or, you'll be reworking your answer over and over again (like me), thinking what went wrong.

In addition, there are some repeated questions where they just changed some of the figures. You could argue that they wanted you to get you comfortable with these type of questions, but heck, I could have substituted the numbers.

Don't get me wrong, this software contains many useful questions and hints (at time very challenging) but for $... and change I expected some more quality checking and originality.

I am not sure if the people who gave 5 stars actually gone through the questions but for someone who actually worked through the sections, this software should not have earned 5 stars.
