I'm BAD at MATH. Anyone have luck with Gruber's Math? Best MATH Book Thread

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Thinking about buying Gruber's MATH Workbook. Did it improve your score on the SAT or practice test? Does the 'gruber system' really work? I haven't heard much about this so let me in on it if you have had good or bad luck with this book. Thanks.</p>

<p>PS.</p>

<p>I've taken math up to Geometry Hrs. I will be taking Alg II/Trig Hrs next year as a sophomore. The 1st semester will be over the day I take the SAT in January. Will I know enough math to do well on the SAT or will I have to go through trigonometry and more Algebra to succeed?</p>

<p>Thanks. I am EXTREMELY grateful for ANY honest posts. Your help is ....<em>AHEAD: corny but true comment</em>.... INSPIRING!</p>

<p>I’d like to report that I completed the Gruber book with success. It raised my score to a 660. Thats a 180 point jump.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about Grubers, but from experience in multiple exam preparations, the Princeton Review books are an EXCELLENT test prep tool.</p>

<p>During algebra II make an effort to learn how to use a graphing calculator, that will help you on the test quite a lot.</p>

<p>It does not help much, imo
Grubber is very good with refreshing basic math concepts, but its examples are far from accurate. Some examples and 50 practice exams after each section are harder than the actual stuff, yet the practice tests (Math) are very easy. Last year I used Grubber to prep for the SPAT and got a 63. This year I practiced only with the blue book and got a 720 (could have been 750, ugh, missing one freaking EASY question)</p>
