Rating: Summary: Practice Makes Perfect! Review: After using Barrons Math Workbook to learn all the math concepts, I've used this book to practice as many SAT I level problems as much as possible. I've scored 780 on my test. I've done 1 set a day for a month and few days. There are 28 days. After solving all the sets in the book, SAT I Math was just a breeze.

Rating: Summary: Get a better score Review: I purchased and studied this book along with the Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook, and my score shot up! If you're like me and math isn't your strong suit, this is the book for you. It breaks down each kind of SAT math question and offers easy-to-understand strategies that really work. I especially appreciated the thoroughness of the answers to all the practice questions. I wouldn't have gotten into college without this book!
Rating: Summary: 80 point increase! Review: I used this book for about two weeks, completing all of the sections. I looked over all of the questions I had gotten wrong on my first go-around with the book on the Thursday bfore the test. I also took one of the practice tests, and it predicted within 20 points what I got on the real Math SAT. In my sophomore year, I had gotten a 640, which was disappointing, but after using this book for two short weeks my score shot up to a 720 (as a Junior)! I would recommend this book to anybody wishing to increase their score with a concise, concentrated workbook. Unless your score is very low on the Math section, a book full of basic skills and tricks will probably not help you. Using this workbook could be the difference between a mediocre 640 and a pretty-durn-good 720 (and only in two weeks). Good luck! PS: On the SAT, there was a problem that even used the same numbers as one of the questions in the Kaplan book! Weird...

Rating: Summary: 800...need I say more? Review: I used this book, and this book only, and I got an 800. I used Kaplan Verbal and I got a 780. In short, I did WELL. Now I'm on my way to Harvard U, all thanks to this company. It all started in sophomore year when I used Kaplan SAT II Biology and got a 770. Believe, for just a few dollars you will buy yourself Ivy League glory! Indulge.

Rating: Summary: Buy this book! Review: I would definately recommend that you buy this book. The practice that it gave me was extremely helpful, as well as the "SAT Math in a Nutshell" section. The format was easy to follow and true to the SAT, giving me plenty of practice, and help where I needed it. It improved my math SAT score 50 points - from 630 to 680. And I only did about half of the book! Imagine if I had worked through the whole thing. It's not hard, however - the book is designed so that you only tackle one (approximately) 30-minute section at a time. Just remember - for best results, make sure that you start using this book 3 weeks to a month ahead of time. The verbal workbook helped me even more, raising my score 100 points, from 660 to 760. Kaplan's math workbook is definately worthwhile. It WILL improve your scores!
