Summary: How SAT1600 changed my life
Review: I scored an 1150 on the SAT. I wanted to get into Stanford, and this score was simply unacceptable. I bought SAT1600 by Professor Michael Fikar, and read the entire book in one week. I was amazed at the way he explained each problem. He takes you step-by-step, giving a detailed analysis of why the answer is what it is, and how to achieve it. I was also amazed at how similar his book was to the actual SAT-I. With Princeton Review and Kaplan, etc...I found that the general theme was learning shortcuts by using the 'plug-in' method, while not really learning the math. I actually became a smarter person by reading SAT1600. Not only that, but my score went up to a 1520, and I got into the school of my dreams. Thank you, Professor Fikar!

Summary: SAT1600
Review: My PSAT score was 910; by using this book I was able to get to 1470 in two tries. What I thought was really good was that all the questions were challenging, no baby questions.I also like the approach they used of asking a question, and then giving the answer and a detailed explanation on the same page- you didn't have to go to the back of the book.Also, the explanations were thorough, you didn't have to constantly fill in steps for yourself.I had tried Barrons, Gruber,Kaplan, and Princeton Review, and they were alright, but Dr. Fikar's book was amazing.I highly recommend it, it was really worth it for me.
