The goal of this book is to maximize your score by zeroing in on the most difficult problems that appear on the math section of the SAT exam.

Fantastic book!, July 30, 2008 By S. Becker "SAT prep instructor"
As a high school teacher of a rigorous college preparatory course, I am always looking for the latest, best, and highest quality SAT prep materials available. I have read and used all the other books out there from all the different companies, and in my opinion, this one is extremely user-friendly (well-organized and clear explanations), relevant (covers the problems students need to know), and overall, a great tool for high-achieving students. It is a great value for what you get. I am excited to use it in the classroom and highly recommend it.
The best SAT math prep book for those who aim at 700 or highter, September 3, 2008 By tingliucs
As a math tutor, I have had students whose SAT math target scores range from 600 to 800. A friend recommended this book to me about 3 weeks ago and I decided to do an experiment right away.
First I used the diagnostic test at the very beginning of this book to test my students and divided them into several groups, then chose different combinations of math topics from this book for those different groups. The examples and detailed explanations under each topic are very well written and organized. The students who were already at the 650-level responded really well--most of them are at the 700-level right now after just 2 weeks of reading and practicing. Several students who started at about 550 also pressed me again and again for harder problems from this book.
Everybody wants a little bit challenge from time to time!
