My daughter, in trying to increase her SAT math score, became extremely discouraged as we figured out that there were incorrect problems in the first math test! Now that we cannot trust the book, we will look for practice tests elsewhere.

This book would be good if it was more carefully edited before it went to press. It covers a lot of material, and having four practice tests would be awesome if they weren't filled with typos.

Question 6 of practice test 1, section 2 is supposed to have a greater than inequality but they left the latter half of the equation out of the question, leaving you unable to complete the problem as written.

Question 16 of the same has an answer of -10 < x < 8, and it even explains it to you in the detailed answer key, yet it also tells you that the answer is letter C, -10 < x < -2. The correct answer is letter A.

I got this book for the practice tests, and this first math section is as far as I got before I had to log on Amazon and review it. It's that bad.

Avoid this book.

This has to be the biggest piece of garbage "study guide" that has ever been authored. Rife with errors and incorrect "answers", and teaming with simple minded arrogance found in the back of book under "solutions" show a fundamental knowledge gap between the subject and the author(s). Simple arithmetic and logical problems are contained throughout the text, including questions that cannot be reasoned out even when you have the "solution". This book will break your brain into thinking in functionally retarded state as you grasp at straws to determine how they got yet ANOTHER problem/solution TOTALLY WRONG. BUYER BEWARE!

[...] If you need to wipe, there are surely books Amazon sells with a higher thread count.. I can't even recommend it for that. Worse than a bad prep book, it's a "How to do it wrong and look like a moron in front of friends and colleagues" book. At that sole and only task, it excels.
