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!

It provides alot of drill practices, and I believe that after completing the book it does work. I did pretty well on the math section.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A true review of this Book Review: In general, this book satisfies its purpose as being a math workbook, not lesson book, which provides a large number of SAT-like math questions, partitioned into categories. The book does not teach concepts like the Barron's book, but through doing the questions and reading the explanations you can extract the concepts and the train of thought. The only part where the book is slightly flawed is that some of its questions, towards the end of a question set, titled "hard," really require more thinking than is required on the real exam. However, this can only help your practice, but do not be discouraged if you can only solve some of those!

So I didn't need a book that covered basic methods, instead I needed a more concentrated skills-practice specific to the SATs. Going through most of this workbook increased my score to a 720. I could have done better if I had practiced up until Friday night. But I was pleased and now I am studying at UPENN. Anyhow, good luck to all of you who are preparing to take the SATs.

Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: A good help for any struggling Math student Review: This book helped me achieve a higher score after I went through half the workbook. I increased my math score from a 610 to 700 in 3 weeks. This book does do wonders. However, some of the explainations of the problems and how to work them are vauge and really don't give you a sense on how to apply them to other problems with the same underlying concept. In conjunction with this book, I would have to recommend Kaplan's SAT 1600 and Kaplan's SAT II Math IC for mastery of harder questions and for more review.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Check this out! Review: Well i think that this book is really worth the $11.2i've paid! It explains all the basic concepts well and also gives u an insight on what might appear on the SAT I.However there are some shortfalls as well..The book does not contain actaul SAT questions and it keeps on guessing what might appear on the SAT I.However if u buy 10 Real Sats this should not be a problem.Along with this book i would recommend u to buy 10 Real SATS and Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook as well.
