Regardless of your level of skill, this book will be at least somewhat useful. Nothing can substitute for ´official´ GMAT questions, and this book will help any student get the hang of the GMAT´s quirky style--and learning to deal with that style is arguably as important as learning the math itself.
That said, this book has tons of imperfections. First, there really aren´t enough tough questions in here, especially on the problem solving side. My students seem to struggle much more on the data sufficiency, but a 650+ GMAT student will have limited opportunities to break a sweat.
Sadly, GMAC has also cheated us a little bit. There are only 74 new questions (the cover promises 75 new questions... and yes, I was silly enough to count them all), and they really don´t break much new ground from the 1st edition. As always, the explanations are often incomprehensible, and rarely explain the best way to do a particular math problem. And many of the new questions also appear in the GMAT Focus tests, so you might end up paying for them twice.
Pretty annoying, but this is still a necessary supplement to the official guide. Grumble if you must, but buy a copy anyway.. And summed up by saying unfortunately, you need to buy this book. Currently The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
