4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the practice questions, June 15, 2003

This review is from: Let's Review: Math A (Paperback)

I have this book and found it pretty helpful with studying for Math A. The book has a ton of practice questions which were very similar in style to the regents questions. My teacher had this book and many times the same questions would come up on tests that I had already done while studying. The explainations of things were pretty wordy and kind of confusing, so I wouldn't buy this book if you want things better explained to you. But I would say it's definitely worth buying this book for all the practice questions. I passed the Math A regents in January 2003 with a 90, thanks to a lot of the practice in this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Forewarning, April 13, 2005

This review is from: Let's Review: Math A (Paperback)

I just purchased both the "Let's Review: Math A" and "Let's Review: Math B" books and found two errors within the answer section for the first "Check Your Understanding" problems within the Math A book. I have contacted Barron's hoping they can/will provide insight to the discrepancies. I am very concerned about moving forward with either book as I now do not trust the integrity of the material.
