80 point increase!, November 16, 2002

"trickdacy" (SC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kaplan SAT Math Workbook, 4th Edition (Paperback)

I used this book for about two weeks, completing all of the sections. I looked over all of the questions I had gotten wrong on my first go-around with the book on the Thursday bfore the test. I also took one of the practice tests, and it predicted within 20 points what I got on the real Math SAT. In my sophomore year, I had gotten a 640, which was disappointing, but after using this book for two short weeks my score shot up to a 720 (as a Junior)! I would recommend this book to anybody wishing to increase their score with a concise, concentrated workbook. Unless your score is very low on the Math section, a book full of basic skills and tricks will probably not help you. Using this workbook could be the difference between a mediocre 640 and a pretty-durn-good 720 (and only in two weeks).Good luck!PS: On the SAT, there was a problem that even used the same numbers as one of the questions in the Kaplan book! Weird...

A true review of this Book, July 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kaplan SAT Math Workbook, 4th Edition (Paperback)

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!

A good help for any struggling Math student, August 3, 2004

Rock Troy (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kaplan SAT Math Workbook, 4th Edition (Paperback)

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.
