A great book for quick review

I am currently in Pre-Calculus and am taking the math I and II subject test right after my end of the year final exams. I would consider myself above average when it comes to math, and therefore this book was perfect for me. If you are currently enrolled in Pre-Calculus and are planning to take the math subject test and are somewhat good at math then I highly recommend this book. It goes over all the concepts, not in great amounts of picky detail, but it is a great tool that will start jogging your memory back. For me, it reviewed all the concepts that I have learned so far and told me exactly what I needed to know.
If you are someone who is looking for a little more rigorous review for the subject tests and need to learn more of these concepts in detail then I would recommend that you go with McGraw Hill's or Barron's Math I or Math II Subject test books.
Overall, it has about 300 pgs. of actual review, 2 practice tests for each math I and math II and if you know all the concepts but are just a little rusty on your memory, this brings everything right back.
Hope this helps.

Does a great job

Great math review book. Remember, it's REVIEW. The book expects you to have seen all these material in class before, but it's teaching it in a way and only little bits of parts of it: ALL you need to get a 700+ on the Math 2C/Math 1C SAT II tests. It's not saturated IN-DEPTH, so you probably WON'T get a 800 (85 percentile) with this book ALONE. Expect a 700+ if you review the whole book and the practice tests at the end. I got 710 and reviewed the book every day for 2 weeks, and took the practice tests, on SAT math 2. Make sure you buy Barron's if you want a perfect score , because it covers the material more in-depth; this is just a review!

Worthless

This book is worthless for the Math Level 2. Doesn't cover everything in detail, doesn't explain most of the stuff - and the level is too easy.

I mean, why would anyone pay $20 for this? If you want a GOOD score on the IIC, get something like Barron's or the "15 Realistic Tests" one. I admit they're way more difficult than the actual test standard, but you'll need it if you want to get anything above 750 - which isn't that much in the Level 2, as more than 10% of the test takers get a perfect score of 800.

If you just want to see how much you get on a realistic SAT test, get the official SAT Subject Test Study Guide or the official SAT Math Study Guide, the CollegeBoard ones.

A LOT of errors

June 2, 20082.0
I found a lot of errors in this book which led me to find out the true answers myself. Like in one drill question, you were suppose to use the volume of a cylinder, 1/3(Pie)(radius sq.'ed)(height). However, the explantion in the book to the answer forgot to use the (1/3)..
Also, the drill answer pages don't correspond to the correct listed answer page.. Which makes it hard to find the answers for the drills.
