The New Math SAT Game Plan Review
We got this book two months before my son needed to take his first SAT, but didn't actually sit down to read it until the week before his SAT. He did a practice math test and scored fairly low, IMHO. We studied the book together and worked through the examples given using the various tips/techniques given in the book. (A neighbor heard us studying and referred to this as *loophole training*!) =) When he took another practice math test at the end of the week, he did MUCH better. (My only complaint is the typos that exist in the book, but I guess this IS a math book after all. If it were a book to help in writing, I'd really object to the typos!)
He took the actual SAT on June 5, so while we don't yet have his results back, he came out of the test fairly confident that he met his personal SAT math goal/score! If he did, in fact, meet his initial goal, we'll increase that goal by 100 pts for the October test and restudy this book! This time, however, we'll work at it throughout the summer instead of waiting for the last possible week!

Pretty good but bot as good as expected. - Lauren -
Overall the book helped me to look at math problems in a different way and was very clear in its explanations. The only problem that I had was that many of the tips were common sense or too time consuming. But if you are scoring very low on the math portion then this book can really help you.
Excellent review book - D. Hirsch - Berwyn, PA USA
I got this book for my daughter, who wasn't taking her upcoming SATs too seriously. After some prodding, she went through it and admitted it was pretty good (although she did find some typos, which annoyed her--the only reason I'm not awarding 5 stars). She got her SAT results and, despite taking NO practice tests or doing anything to prepare except for going through most of this book, she scored an 800 on the math section. What more could I ask for?

I recently took the SAT and while I'm pretty good at math, this book is pretty much the whole reason I got an 800 on my math section. Funny and very straight forward. It definitely helps readjust your perceptions of the SAT and the questions on the Test. Power to the Lazy Student.
