Why Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions?

When you want advice, you probably ask your friends. Or parents. Or teachers. And each of them can probably give you some good advice about taking the PSAT. So why do you need Kaplan? Because your friends, parents, and teachers probably haven't invested millions of dollars developing realistic practice exams and test-taking strategies. Kaplan has. And when a test changes, we're prepared with the most up-to-date materials.

When it comes to the PSAT, your friends know what works for them, but do they know what works for you? Kaplan has helped millions of students -- all kinds of students, from perfect-score seekers to students who run screaming from algebra problems -- reach their individual goals. More than 65 years of test preparation experience -- it's all in this book.Sign up for our free email newsletter, the College Edge, and we'll keep you posted about college admissions trends and test changes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Concept- But Many Errors, September 26, 2005
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT Math Workbook (Paperback)
Going through the book before recommending its use by my students, I found two serious errors in the first 25 pages (out of 290). In a math workbook, this makes the book unusable until I check every question and answer! The students must be able to rely on valid questions and correct answers.

p.13, bottom: in the example for 'number picking', answers (D),(E) are identical (and correct).

p.25, problem 5: no answer is correct for the problem as written (1.04*sqrt(0.079)). In the "Answer and Explanation" (p.27), it references a division problem.

I want to use the book, but I will have to introduce it much slower than I had hoped!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Review Book!, December 12, 2005
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT Math Workbook (Paperback)
I just bought this book to review the math section, as its my weak spot on the SATs. The book is good in terms of giving you lots of practice problems, but does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to teach me the math! It is a good companion for a textbook, or something of the sort, but it will not be sufficient to be used solely as a math review book.

I bought the book expecting to be taught math. Its explanations are very brief and convoluting, and overall, its a poorly written and designed book. Skip over it, and look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars it doesnt teach any math!!, January 8, 2006
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT Math Workbook (Paperback)
As a peer i wouldnt recommend this book to those that are studying by themselves. this book is a great book to go over with a private tutor or at a SAT academy but it will do you no good if you study this book by yourself. personally i had a private tutor and my score rose 480 to 680 by the time i finished this book. if you want a good book to help you study for the sat try Barron or Rocket review.
