 USEFUL!! May 29, 2008
I had a different version of this book, but I can assume they are very similar.
The bulk of the book is just OK. There are some very, very useful tips in there, though, which I used on the SAT to help answer questions faster and guess more effectively.
However, the concept index at the end of the book was what made the book worth every penny. It has every SAT math concept mashed together. Studying a few of those a night helped me boost my math score tremendously.
The index won't help you nail those extra tough questions, but it will make sure you're well versed in all the concepts needed. Helped me score a 690(math) on my first SAT.
 Pretty damned good May 26, 2008
I got a 710 on my first attempt at the math section of the SAT. Now, I wanted to improve, so I decided that the best way to up my score was to practice. So, I got my hands on this workbook and went through it diligently -- I did every problem and every practice test. I retook the SAT some months later and scored a 780 (not what I wanted, but still damned good!)
Buy it.

We tried and reviewed all the workbooks:Grubers, McGraw, Princeton, Barron. My two teenagers thought that Kaplan did the best job of preparing for the SAT.
However the practice tests in the book are not exactly like the real SAT. For that you need the Official SAT Study Guide.

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.
