From the Back Cover

n Review realizes that acing the SAT is very different from getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about math -- only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the SAT math sections. There's a big difference. In SAT Math Workout, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers.

This is accomplished by teaching students to:
Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool them
Crack SAT algebra by substituting numbers in place of letters
Ace the geometry problems by Estimating
Solve problems more quickly by Plugging In from the answer choices given

*This book includes 30 quick quizzes and 20 problem sets so students can sharpen their skills and test their knowledge. All of TPR's sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual SAT, and every solution is fully explained.
