Got this book today. It looks great! Hoping to begin working through it with my son this weekend. Will post a full review within a couple of weeks.
All I can say is WOW! This book is full of wonderful information on how to successfully prepare for the SAT.

I read through the introduction of this book and already, I found myself giggling and smiling constantly since the very beginning; it is very captivating and will keep you very engaged. I have decided to read this book thoroughly when I get a hold of the other SAT Prep book mentioned in the book to enhance my experience and my own understanding for this subject to get a better and higher score than my first try last Spring. I hope, with the guide of this book given by the author himself, that I...more
Got this from goodreads. Found it a funny test prep book. Both my husband and I were reviewing the math. Its been a while since we took the SAT and some of the test strategies definitely would have helped. Think the book has more value than just a test prep book. Perfect for any high school kid getting ready for college entrance tests but also would be great for an GT middle school student or profoundly GT elementary student that wants to learn some math tricks that aren't taught in traditional...more
I won this book through a goodreads.com giveaway. I have looked through it and I like the humorous writing!My 9th grade son is going through it now and he has paused quite a few times to laugh, I really think this will help him alot! (and of course when he is done with it, my other 2 sons will get a turn) :)
I have never come across a math book that was this clear before. Everything is explained, including an outline of what you are expected to know before you start using the SAT prep book. There is a good chance I will do the exercises even though I am not going to take the SAT, just to reawaken my math skills. With this book it's kind of fun.
I cannot give any information on scores achieved after using this book. But it looks excellent to me.

I received this book free from a Goodreads First Reads giveaway. I'm not completely finished with this book; it's kind of long. But I loved it from the very beginning! I had been so worried about my SAT, especially the math portion. This book gives great tips, not just with math but also with general test-taking. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting help preparing for the SAT or any other general math test.

Mike McClenathan used to wish he was a natural born athlete instead of a natural born test taker, but over the years he has learned to embrace his nerdy superpower. He was the valedictorian of his high school class, and graduated from Brown University in 2003. He uses his 2400-scoring skills to help kids in the NYC Metro area prepare for the SAT, and blogs about SAT prep at PWNtheSAT.com.
