Barron's Math Workbook for the Sat I (Barron's Math Workbook for the Sat I, 2nd Ed)

Rating:
Summary: Not like the real test
Review: As an SAT tutor for the last 13 years, I find this book to be disappointing and unhelpful. The questions do not accurately reflect the SAT. Specifically, the subject matter is too complex, the questions too difficult and tricky. This book will intimidate many students and direct others to expend their energy in uproductive ways. My first choice would be 10 real SATs, my second choice Stanley Kaplan.

Summary: Barron does it again
Review: Barron is always the best study tool for the SATs, and this math workbook is tremendously helpful. It not only gives you a million math problems to work through, it tells you little tricks and approaches to the math problems. Plus, you get explanations for all the problems. It's terrific, and helped me a lot.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: I highly recommend this book. I first took the SATs in May of my Junior year. I got a 640 on the math. I then bought Barron's Math Workbook (2nd Edition), along with the College Board's 10 Real SATs, and re-took the test in December. My math score improved 120 points--- I received a 760. This book is very thorough and effective, the questions have understandable answers, and it also offers good tips. However, I would strongly recommend getting the College Board's book in addition to this one, as the practice on real tests in invaluable.

Summary: wonderful
Review: I've only completed 50 or so pages in this workbook, but it has immediately covered many of my weaknesses. Although this book is helpful to all (except for the very low or very high scorers,) I think it will be most beneficial to those who are currently in the 600's. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Excellent Review for Sat Math
Review: It does not surprise me that a SAT Prep teacher does not care for this book. If more students bought and used this book, their math score would improve dramatically and the SAT prep teachers would be out of business. Would I rather spend 225 dollars on a course for improving my score or 15 dollars for a book to do the same. I chose the book and boy did it work. I bought this book and used it for about 2 months prior to my second SAT. I knew I should have spent longer time with it, because I wasnt able to get all the way through this in-depth book. Yet I improved my math score by 105 points just by using this book only half of the way through. Imagine if I had the time to read the whole book! I am really impressed with Barron's. I strongly urge this for anyone who is looking to improve their SAT math skills....Oh and when I took the actual SAT I recognized about 90% of the math problems from the Barron's book. So yes it does help tremendously.

Review: This book really helped me a lot. This book has everything you need to know for the SAT I Math. It's easy and fun to learn. To be honest, you have to use this book wisely. I'm happy that i got 780 with this book even though i didn't finish this book thoroughly. This covers every material you need to know. This book covers the concepts, gives lot of practices, and gives you lot of sat tricks and tips for you to know. It's a school's Algebra and Geometry textbooks mixed in one.
