5.0 out of 5 stars Best of its kind I've ever worked with, February 13, 2005

By	L. Harrington - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Keller's Math SAT Game Plan: Your Strategy for Success (Nuts & Bolts) (Paperback)

As a college professor and long-time test-prep tutor, I've evaluated the gamut of test-prep resources. This is, hands-down, the best math SAT book I've seen: clear, articulate, and accessible without being condescending. I was so impressed that I researched (Googled) the author, and found out that he's won several teaching awards as a high school math and science teacher in New Jersey, which may explain this book's effectiveness: it's written by a teacher who can anticipate student questions and areas of confusion, not a desk jockey. After using it with a few kids, I have decided to make it the required math text for all my student clients. I'm wondering if there'll be one for the verbal section, too..

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read book for preparing for the SAT math portion, February 5, 2005

By	Kamen Mandjarov (Plumsteadville, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Keller's Math SAT Game Plan: Your Strategy for Success (Nuts & Bolts) (Paperback)

I just took my SAT's a couple of weeks ago. I read the book and thought it was great. Keller introduces many interesting tactics and strategies for taking the SAT. He tells the reader which questions to answer and which ones to omit if you are low on time. He creates personal plans for students who want to get a specific score. The book also has a little humor in some places. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!, January 17, 2005

By	Jessica G Schreiber "JGG" (Port Angeles, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Keller's Math SAT Game Plan: Your Strategy for Success (Nuts & Bolts) (Paperback)

I discovered this little book on Amazon.com and bought it for my daughter who was about to take the SAT again in the hopes of bringing up her math score. I can tell you that it worked for her. She raised her math score by 110 points! The strategies in this book work -- at least they do for the old SAT. I can't vouch for the new SAT that starts this year, but I strongly suspect the ideas will still hold.

Thank you Philip Keller for making a huge difference in my daughter's math score and putting her in the running for admission to the highly competitive colleges to which she has applied.
