17 year old high school student.

So I've been reading the 5 start reviews, and then the few that say the reviews were made up, or whatever. I decided, to test this out myself, and mind you, I am an independent consumer, as a teenager, and the SAT Subject Tests are this Saturday, 5/1/10, f.y.i.. This book was about.. ~15.00 including tax, so I was hoping for it to be more effective than the Math portion on the large 1000-page SAT books by Princeton, Gruber's, etc.. I'm about half way done reading/studying this book, which is ~157 pages. It has many sections, and has a 1 page introduction, 1 page 8-10 multiple choice question, and another with solutions to that, with some explanation. So, about 3 pages per topic. It's a very brief outline, and tells you which formulas, etc.. to use. It also includes a few operations you can do on your graphing calculator (I have a TI-84 SE, which matches). I have to say that this author tries to get to the main points of the section, and does a good job, to be honest. The practice problems, aren't very challenging. They touch upon that part of the subject, and that's about it. Maybe 3-4 are tricky. Overall, I'm a bit ... meh about this book. There needs to be a bit more than 10 practice problems per section, since I've proven to myself, that many difficult problems with concise and elaborate solutions tend to bolster one's knowledge by a long shot. I just don't believe that a book with one part of the SAT and ACT, should cost as much as any other SAT book on Amazon that cost just about the same price...

Final judgment: NOPE, a bit disappointed.. no 5-stars. I am pretty reasonable, but the price of this book isn't. ;|

You're going to have to know the material before you buy this book. This book doesn't necessarily teach, it skims. I don't believe it's worth the price-tag. I've learned/been helped more by going to my local library to borrow separate books on Geometry/Algebra/Trig/Pre-Calc. To be ready for such a test in a short time, they have smaller versions of their books(cram sessions), but if you really wanna do well on tests such as this, longer and more detailed books are going to help a bit more, since studying for more than just a week before the test isn't really smart at all.

Good Confidence Builder With Value Plus

If you don't want to overwhelm your SAT candidate with GIANT books filled with scary tests, use this book as a stepping stone. It's small enough to fit into a back pocket, has an encouraging tone and will help with motivation. It is not enough for the SAT's by itself, but it is a good baby step to build confidence to move into the bigger books. Most students can handle 3 minutes and once they are successful--are willing to move into more substantial study time. Overall, good warmup book to prepare students to learn.

Book received quickly and in perfect condition. Used this to review for NYSTCE in Social Studies. After 15 years away from college, this served as a nice, concise overview of history. Excellent test-taking tips also given. I occasionally consulted additional maps online for a visual reference to the material.
