| Geometry GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides) by MG Prep, Inc. A good refresher |
Quantitative section on the GMAT can be a little tricky, even if you were pretty good at Math in your high school or in college. Why? Because the skills tested on the GMAT are different than the one you acquired in high school or college.
For example, the data sufficiency section is not a straightforward problem solving section and requires some targeted practice before you take the real thing.
I am an engineering major and I took multiple advanced Math courses in my college and yet, I benefited from the Manhattan Review quantitative books. So even if you think that you know everything that there is to know about the Geometry knowledge tested on the GMAT, it doesn't hurt to review some concepts and practice some additional questions. Like I said, it helped me a lot.
Of course, like with everything else on the GMAT, you need to practice a lot so you will benefit from this book only if you have sufficient time to practice. If your GMAT is in a week's time, this book is probably not for you.

| Geometry GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides) by MG Prep, Inc. Very good for the target audience |
"Very good for the target audience" - I think this sums it all. If you are someone who has not done active maths for some time now, and therefore does not remember the concepts involved very well, this is the book for you. This I will say holds true for most of the books of the Manhattan Quant series.
The Manhattan Quant series books cover the concepts only to the degree that gets asked in the GMAT, and do not overwhelm you.
Plus, as each of the Manhattan books then turns to the Official Guide for practice, each of the books has a section where the appropriate questions for that topic are numbered from the OG. They also detail the toughest of the lot from OG. Here I think the book is useful for anyone, irrespective of the personal comfort level with maths.
Therefore if you are true to yourself and practice the questions marked from OG as you go along, this would prove to an excellent resource for cracking the quant part of the GMAT. |
| Geometry GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides) by MG Prep, Inc. If you can count from 1 to 10.... this book is not for you |
| I have an engineering background and I strongly suggest others with a similar one or even more better some basic high school math knowledge not to buy this book. I could complete this book and all of its 'exercises' in an hour. All it does is repeats very basic math knowledge which I bet you will not forget even after 50 years from now. All in all bad book for GMAT Geometry preparation. Now I have look for ways to sell this book which I bought two days ago... any buyers? not a scratch on the paper and is all in mint condition. |
| Geometry GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides) by MG Prep, Inc. Book Description |

The book offers a unique balance between two competing emphases: test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Practice problem sets build specific foundational skills in each topic and include the most advanced content that many other prep books ignore. As the average GMAT score required to gain admission to top b-schools continues to rise, this guide provides test takers with the depth and volume of advanced material essential for succeeding on the GMAT's computer adaptive format.
