You may be an A student in Math yet have difficulty with the Level 3 problems, while finding Level 4 and 5 easy; as an average student you may find Levels 4 and 5 problems to be often too challenging.3)Each Problem has detailed answers and explanations to assist in your understanding. And each problem has several Levels of solution appealing to the differing student levels of understanding. An advanced student may prefer the algebraic solution often times and other times simply plugging in a quick value for an unknown may yield and uncluttered direct result that is easily seen and understood.4) Math strategies are given and emphasized ! How do you Solve a Math Problem???First of all READ the Question. What are you being asked to find...The strategies in this book are very helpful.5)The problems appear to be similar to the ones found in the Blue Book (Collegeboard SAT book) which means that the problems are helpful for practice.Overall, I highly recommend this SAT math book because of its numerous problems and detailed explanations to each problem which helps you understand the solution to each probems.The only way to understand and solve math problems is to get your hands dirty:PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE !!!It is about time a Mathematician with a PhD actually wrote books for SAT Math !

This review is LONG overdue. I bought the advanced course book in mid-Jan of 2017 for my sophomore daughter, who took algebra and geometry in the 7th and 8th grade, respectively. She asked for a review book that would help refresh her knowledge in these topics as she started to self-prep for the upcoming SATs. I searched Amazon, looked through a bunch of math review guides, read all the reviews for 28 New SAT math lessons, and also reached out to Dr Steve, who was very quick to respond about the most appropriate book to purchase for my daughter who is in advanced math. His recommendation to buy the advanced book was spot on. My daughter found the book to be very helpful. She is highly motivated and very disciplines, so she set aside a little time each week to prepare for the SAT. She paced herself with the review book and by early April, she had finished reviewing all of the material in the book. She said she liked having the problem sets at the end of each section to reinforce concepts she had just finished reviewing. She took a mock SAT exam under timed test conditions, and saw her math score improve by 80 points to 780! She was thrilled to have been able to master these topics quickly and thoroughly! Thank you, Dr. Steve. I will be purchasing the beginners course for my younger daughter, who will be a freshmen in HS this fall and per Dr. Steve. She wants to start preparing for the PSAT and sees what a little bit of practice has done for her older sister!!

I use this book for practice. It's a good idea when the different topics were given with detail tips and solutions

Overall, very helpful if you want to improve your score. It explains strategies to answer SAT questions -- and it doesn't just offer one so that the test-taker can check their answers and/or use a different strategy -- and then tests the reader with SAT questions. I found it to be a very effective way to learn, although it took longer than one month (as I expected) if you re-do the questions you missed every time. One of my complaints is that, although there was at least one solution for each problem, some of the solutions were a bit obscure. I encountered this especially on the toughest problems -- I believe they were called level 6 -- and never figured them out. Additionally, it is a bit expensive, although in the long-run someone could definitely argue that the price is worth it to qualify for those scholarships. Both of these complaints are not significant enough to bring the score down a star, in my humble opinion.My math score on the SAT significantly increased as a result of this book. Although I enjoy math, I didn't do that well on the PSAT 10's math section: 600/760. On the PSAT, I scored a 680/760. Finally, when I went through this book carefully and completed it, re-doing the questions I had missed as he suggested, I scored a 780/800 on the SAT's math section (the math curve for the SAT is very harsh -- I only missed one question thanks to this book).All in all: if you want a top score, get this book.
