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.

The Sat Math Workout contains information and test taking skills vital to one's improvement on the SAT math. They cover the needed information from arithmetic to algebra to geometry and they include test taking methods for the average to above average person to effectively do well against the clock. The book has hundreds of test sections, all of varying degrees of difficulty. At the end of the book, you should be able to see your improvement right in front of your own eyes!
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.
 HORRIBLE - Filled with ambiguities and careless mistakes! October 3, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Having found Princeton's AP books especially helpful, I was surprised to find so many egregious errors in this SAT prep. Completing the practice sets was an exercise in frustration because so many of the answers given were based on a misunderstanding of the question as stated. The author and editor must be either very careless or have some serious mental difficulties (I'm hoping for the former, for their sake). DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!! The SATs are stressful enough without having to deal with such sloppy work - some poor souls may actually be more damaged than helped by this math "workout". Save your money - or, better yet, try Kaplan's, Barron's, or the College Board's "10 Real SATs".
