5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book for review!, February 29, 2004
By 
SM9 (San Francisco, California USA) - See all my reviews
This book is very helpful and is easy to follow. They seemed to cover everything given on the test and offered great explanations. I believe I did spot a few typo's though? But nothing major. The tests at the end of the book were helpfull too; they seemed to me to be the same level of difficulty that the actual test was. Also, what's cool is that you can actually find your estimated scaled score... After taking the math 2c (got 790) I feel this book really provided me with a good review of math concepts. Good luck to all...

2.0 out of 5 stars A Mediocre Attemp at a Review Book, November 1, 2003
By A Customer
This review book is pathetic as far as mathematical content is concerned. Often, this book is so dumbed down that key shortcuts to certain mathematical concepts are completely OVERLOOKED. I'll admit, the practice problems and tests are helpful if one takes the time to do all of them (I didn't), but there is no excuse for such a lack of content. The book teaches the reader how to do everything the long way (often, there are much better methods). For example, in the polynomial division section, synthetic division was not even mentioned. Also, the fact that the permutation and combination functions are built into most calculators was not mentioned either. This can make testers take longer periods of time to complete their tests.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine book for reviewing, January 1, 2004
By 
John Gu (Rockaway, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The SAT Math II tests both cover a wide range of topics. One cannot expect any one book to cover them all. This book tries its best to cover all topics but it should not be a replacement for a precalc / algebra II textbook - only a supplement. It gives you tips and tricks to master the SAT tests that one might forget such as trig methods for calculating areas for parallelogram and triangles.

If you have a strong background in math or have taken a precalc course, this book should almost be a breeze. It covers all of the basics but only touches upon more complex subjects such as binomial combinations and polar coordinates. But the author does have a point - your chances of seeing those questions on an actual test are very slim.

All in all, this book won't let you down
