I regret buying Chung's SAT Math

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I looked over it really briefly and compared it really briefly (lol) to pwn the sat which I own, and I think PWN is much better. I don't even need the 20 complete math tests since I have the blue book and the few tests that college boards give out every year...</p>

<p>Should I still use Chung's tests? I read xiggi's comments and he said the book is confusing and pointless or something..</p>

<p>And same for the Eight Multiple-Choice Tests from Erica Meltzer, those are better but I didn't need them. Both books caused me total of $40 -.-</p>

<p>if you got them off of amazon you may be able to get a refund!</p>

<p>I just got it for math level 2 but I regret it too. They do not explain well even with the practice questions. It reallyt disappointed me.</p>

4

<p>Well the books do feel overwhelming but returning them could cost me $4 each and it would take too long. </p>

<p>These 2 books will still help.</p>

5

<p>Nevermind, it’s actually $5 for both of them…I spent $50 on them…so yea I’ll return them.</p>

<p>I have the blue book and sat practice tests from the previous years which will give me enough practice…</p>

<p>So here’s all the books I have:
PWN The SAT: Math Guide
PWN The SAT: Essay Guide
The Insider’s Essential Guide to SAT Critical Reading and Vocabulary
The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar
Blue Book</p>

<p>Isn’t this enough? I want to get an 800 on SAT Math, I can get about a 650-700 atm.
(I’m going to use Chung’s a bit before I return it LOL)</p>

<p>Well, I used to be around your level of 650-700 a couple weeks ago, and on the past two practice tests I have gotten 760. It may just be luck, but I believe the thing that helped me improve was mostly just doing practice sections of the math. Somehow, everything just clicked. O_O
Also, this website has video explanations for almost every single problem in the blue book and QAS tests. Note: I am not affiliated with this site in any way, I just found it a useful resource. It is also free

<p>Thanks :slight_smile:
I do need practice tests and the explanations :)</p>

<p>I do not think it comes close to what I said. I called it unadulterated garbage. It is mostly irrelevant and poorly edited. </p>

<p>It might have helped you to actually read and follow the advice shared here.</p>

<p>Right, I read yours and silverturtle’s guide and it’s very helpful.</p>

<p>I am about to return Chung’s tomorrow, is PWN The SAT good enough for me to get at least a 750 from a 650(projected)?</p>

<p>These prep books are not magic. They help, but nothing replaces hard work. The best books in the Sat Prep world won’t give you a 100 point increase if they just sit on your shelf while you spend your time on the CC forums. Stop worrying about which book is the best and buckle down to work.</p>

<p>I know that, but I don’t wanna waste time on Chung’s if it doesn’t help me, I still don’t know because I haven’t spent significant time on them, I am already studying on writing and critical reading, I’m just deciding on math.</p>
