Best Study Guide Choice For Math

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hey Everyone,</p>

<p>I have been doing some research lately on some good study guides that are good for boosting up math scores. Currently I am in the 670-700 level and I want to increase that a little higher. I have narrowed my choices down to 4: Princeton Review, McGraw Hill, College Board's Official Guide, and Gruber's. Right now I am leaning towards McGraw Hill, I know many people that used it and claim that its rigorous but it helps a lot especially in math and saw points increasing from 100-180. But I need some more suggestions out of these four and your thoughts on them but if you would like to suggest something that worked for you, by all means please share. </p>

<p>Edit: I was also reading through the other threads and I came about a Non-Study Guide suggestion... the book is called "the art of problem solving"... for those of you that have read it or know of it... would it make a good affiliation with a real study guide?
Thanks,
SPT</p>

<p>Blueeeeeeeeeee BOOOOOOOOOK. AoPS stuff is way harder than SAT stuff. It’s totally overkill unless you actually really love to do math.</p>

3

<p>What do you recommend… the first or the 2nd [latest] edition… the 2nd one didnt get as good reviews as the first according to amazon… or does it really matter</p>

4

<p>2nd edition. Most of the tests are the same; the second edition just has more.</p>

5

<p>2nd edition > 1st edition. The people who gave 2nd edition bad reviews are just whining because it’s not a revolutionary change from the first. </p>

<p>However, 1st edition is cheaper :P</p>

<p>It may also be worth it to invest in “10 Real SATs”.</p>

<p>AoPS is like extra MATH stuff… my friend has it and its like pratice for math contest.</p>

<p>SAT Math (all sat math) is simple compared to AoPS</p>

<p>Srsly? Another one of these threads? D=
Read around a little and you’d know that all the books you mentioned but Gruber’s and BB are total crap</p>
