| Great Choice If You're Not Afraid of Some FrustrationThis book was recommended to me by a math major at Yale (just to be clear, I do *not* think she used this book herself...she's probably just looked at it), and it has proven its worth. Although (as some of the other reviewers have pointed out) the book does seem to expect the reader to learn on his/her own, the hundreds of practice problems are more than worth the price. The explanations for the each of the problems are also mostly correct, and they're fairly concise.
For me, personally, this book has really boosted my confidence. Many of the problems here are harder than anything I've seen on an actual SAT (or any practice SAT, for that matter), so once you know how to approach these, the real SAT math is a breeze. That being said, this book can become very frustrating. I have literally thrown the book down and cried on a few occasions.
But it's worth it, especially if you work through the problems and read the explanations carefully. Over the summer, I spent about...thirty or forty hours on the whole book; most students can probably just look over their weakest areas, since the book is conveniently organized by topic.
Anyways, enough with the description and on to the actual numbers: before this book, I usually made around a low 700s score on practice tests. My real score on the math section of the June 2009 SAT was a 700. I've yet to re-take the SAT, but so far, my scores on practice tests (I've been using the Princeton Review practice test book, as well as the CB official one) have consistently been in the high 700's to 800 zone. Since I haven't really looked at any prep book since this one, I'm sure the majority of this point increase is thanks to Math SAT 800.
