very good, very helpful, just wished that the explanations were a little easier to understand and follow.

This study guide has been a big help to me. The fundamentals needed to score well on the SAT are all covered here in detail, with plenty of practice for each technique. I only wish the answer explanations were more detailed. But, to those of you looking to buy, this book takes you from the basics up to the top, and that's exactly what I was looking for.

I had to design a multiple choice math exam and found this Barron's SAT Workbook to be a perfect resource. It breaks down the areas covered in the mathematics SAT and provides plenty of multiple choice questions along with answers and explanations. There are also sections that teach the concepts as well.

If students that plan to take the SAT would have this book as a resource, they'd have the opportunity to assess their strong and weak points and focus on building up the weak areas. That's really how one can most efficiently raise a score in preparing for a standardized multiple choice exam.

Since the truths of mathematics don't change, this book is not about to become dated. It's really a good idea to get all the multiple choice questions one can, as long as answers and explanations are provided. The larger the sample set, the less chances for surprises on the actual exam.

The math section was always my weakest. I always scored in the 500's, with my highest score being 560. I started using this book about two weeks prior to taking the test. I recommend using it earlier than that, so you can go through each lesson slowly and precisely. Since I didn't have that much time, I only concentrated on my very weakest points. If I had time to review everything I could have scored higher.
The book has many, many practice problems with explainations, which is the best way to prepare for the test. Some people find it difficult to learn math with a book and not a teacher, but the explainations in this book are easy and thorough.
Going into the SAT, I was hoping to score a 600 on the math section, but expected a 580. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I scored a 620. That may not be high to some, but that was more than I needed to get into my choice of colleges.
I believe this book was the reason why I exceeded my expectations. If you have self-discipline, it is a great way to study.

I recently purchased this book as a way for me to better improve my Math SAT score. So far I am very pleased with this purchase. I hope to raise my Math SAT score by 200 points for the next SAT. Satisfied so far...
