Synopsis

Ten Full-length SAT Math Tests with 540 Problems! Integrated Solutions: Because it can be boring to review math properties for days or weeks before taking practice tests, we have carefully integrated a review of all the math properties you need for the SAT into the solutions to the test problems. The SAT math section is not easy. There is no quick fix that will allow you to "beat" the section. But SAT math is very learnable. If you study hard and master the techniques in this book, your math score will improve--significantly! The SAT cannot be "beaten." But it can be mastered--through hard work, analytical thought, and by training yourself to think like a test writer. Many of the problems in this book are designed to prompt you to think like a test writer. For example, you will find "Duals." These are pairs of similar problems in which only one property is different. They illustrate the process of creating SAT questions. * If your target is a 700+ score, this is the book!

About this title

Review

To all who had a part in writing the GRE Prep Course book. When I took the GRE for the first time, I used books like Princeton Review and Peterson's material put out by ETS. I used these books to study mostly on my weak area, math. I decided to take the test again. I only studied math and used the GRE Prep Course book. It was hard at first. The book was different than the rest -- it actually had hard math problems in small print on 300 pages, instead of large print baby problems like in the Princeton Review. I've never done well in math, but your book made sense. It made the other prep books seem like they were written to make you have to take the test twice. Anyway, when the date to the test came around, I felt prepared. I got up at 4 AM on the morning of the test to drive 2 hrs. to the testing site. On my way, my car started to have problems. I called my mechanic uncle and he said the car wouldn't make it. I was passing the airport, so I pulled into a rental car place, rented a car and got myself there with minutes to spare. Two hours later, I got my scores: 240 points higher on my math! Your book works, Thank you, --Leah Must read and helpful The math really helped. It had been 15 years since I had a math class..maybe more. I passed my GRE and got into grad school! :) The word lists were great too. If you have a ton of time, the whole book is helpful and very cost effective. However, I found the math to be a godsend in the practical ways to solve the equations. --brenda beachon
