Kaplan the New SAT Math Workbook

As a Math Tutor, I really appreciated the specialized nature of this book. It deals with the different techniques used to improve one's test scores, tells how to score the Math portion of the SAT's and also provides excellent practice exams with Grid-ins. My students scores are improving all the time.

I just received Kaplan New SAT Math Workbook and have been studying with it. It does have a lot of good practice and explanations. However, this book was published even before the New SAT came out, which leaves me a bit skeptical because they don't know FOR SURE what problems or what type of problems will actually show up. It seems like they're going on what everybody already knows -- the College Board added Algebra II. There's also some spelling errors and typos. If you're looking for some practice, see this book. But I'd feel more comfortable in trusting a book to know what to tell me to study after the New SAT has actually been unleashed.

i used this book (previous edition) to get my score up. The pluses are... 1) Many practice problems, and good tests 2) Good explanations 3) Focus on key concepts It is worth your time to practice. It worked (also I didn't didn't leave any blank)!!! I still have it in my shelf now that I am a senior in college ; I don't use it now, but it brings back fond memories :) The best thing is to sleep early the night b4 the test.

For those of you just starting out teaching the new math for your SAT Prep class, this book is great. It is outlined in accordance with the college boards Standards for Student Success. A must buy for your shelf, or as a class set.

I took several practice tests, and was doing pretty poorly -- about 430, which is pretty good for a fish, but pretty pathetic overall. I went through this book, carefully did all the excercizes and learned all the test-taking techniques, and my score shot up to 520! Still not great, but better than most of the Liberal Arts majors at the state college. I owe it all to Kaplan!
