Product Description
The Princeton Review knows that the best way to ace the SAT math sections is to practice. That's why the SAT Math Workout gives you hundreds of drill exercises that cover all types of math problems. These practice problems are just like the ones that will appear on the test. In addition, this guide will teach you tried-and-true methods for scoring high on the SAT math.
This study aid will teach you to:
Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
Crack SAT algebra by "plugging in" numbers in place of letters
Ace the geometry problems by "guesstimating" and "sketching"
Solve problems more quickly by "backsolving" from the answer choices given
The guide includes:
Hundreds of practice questions that get you ready for the SAT math sections
Detailed explanations for each question and answer
Multiple choice, quantitative comparison and grid-in questions
Special strategies for arithmetic, algebra and geometry

I used this book in 9th grade and got a 700. Nothing else needed to be said. The best I've found.
 Princeton Review SAT Math Workout July 6, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I thought that this book was extremely helpful in preparing for the SAT's. Having read the other reviews on this book I must disagree with some of the comments that were made. This is a review book and not meant to make up for lack of effort in previous math classes. It cannot teach you everything but I found it to be very helpful in improving my score from the PSAT's to the SAT's. For the one reviewer who thought this was the wrong book for anyone who wanted over a 650, he is wrong. I got a 620 on math PSAT's but a 740 on my math SAT's. This improvement I owe greatly to the review done with this book.
OK book March 19, 2001
Like the reviewer states, this book helps to learn SAT math, specifically teaching to the test. As such, it is a relatively good review for the SAT math.
 This book is not as precise as the math book should be May 4, 1997

After carefully reviewing this book, we found a lot of ambiguity concepts and inproper presentation of the Math theories. In addition, the strategies introduced in this book is somehow misleading students who are going to take the SAT exam. We sincerely hope that our comments and concerns can improve the quality of the next version of this book. We have catagorized our comments into: (1) The mixture of subjects, such as Arithmetic and Algebra, i.e P.39 #10 should go to Chapter 3. (2) The strategies of problem-solving. (3) The selection of sample problems. (4) Standard format of problem-solving. (5) Twenty-five (25) printing errors. We would like to discuss more regarding this issue with you. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerly Yours, Zong-Jian Zhan
