This offers very little in the way of explanation. If you truly struggle with math or even with specific concepts (like geometry) this book is not for you. A small paragraph is provided to explain something and if you don't grasp it from that, you are stuck referring to other books or using the web to research it. Also, I found a few errors in the Answers section. This could definitely add to the confusion for anyone that's not an A+ math student. I was very frustrated by how often I had to refer to something else for the information I needed.That being said, this book seems like it would be well-suited to a GED prep class with an instructor explaining before the work is being done. For my purposes, this book was a waste of money.
I'm not a big fan of this book. I bought this because I was taking a class that required it, but as far as a teaching guide, I don't think it's very good. It's ok, but it doesn't do much explaining which if you don't have any experience doing these kinds of problems can be an issue. If you want a teaching guide I'd look elsewhere, especially for the premium price.Edit: My original review of this book (above) will remain untouched but I'd like to address something. I've gotten 2 unhelpful marks on my review of this book, and I don't know what more people want me to say. I'll say this, this book pretty much cost me $25. and I didn't take much from it at all. The explanations are very brief, and it's also all over the place with it's teachings. It jumps around from pre-algebra to algebra 2 to algebra and back again and so on. So again, it's not a good teaching guide, period end of story! I honestly think the unhelpful marks against me are either from publishers or fans of the book because no one in my class (20 or so students) liked it. On the other hand I bought this book http://www..com/gp/product/0071824979/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (McGraw-Hill Education Preparation for GED Test) for $14. and actually took a lot more from it's math section. Also, after my classmates saw and looked over my McGraw-Hill book more than a few went ahead and bought one for themselves. True story! This book is lucky I gave it 3 stars, but I figure if someone has experience with math then they might feel it's actually a solid book. But not me, especially not for the price. Done.
When you use this book, You should all so use the student workbook first. It will tell you how to do it better. The student edition mathematical does not let you do that much work. The workbook lets you work on 2 to 3 pages. The other book only let you work on 1page. The books I love. they will help you with the GED.
Good book in that is has questions like on the test. Almost useless if you know nothing about math. Does not really explain the concepts well, but puts them out there. You do need to buy this book to pass. Trust me. Get some tutoring too, if necessary. Do not just walk in and take the test without being prepared. You will not pass.
It's more of a workbook than a actual study guide. I ended up taking the test without finishing the book and passing.
Doesnt help you understand the problems clearly
I got this book because it was recommended to several of my students who took the practice GED math test. It's a little on the pricy side, but I ordered it anyway. It looks okay as far as workbooks go, but I'm wondering if this company is working in tandem with the testing company that recommended it, and I'm wondering if there are other products out there that are just as good or better for less money.
Needs more detail and explanation.
