I purchased this workbook to prepare me for my calculus class after a 6 year break from school. It was very good as a refresher, skimming over all the material covered by a typical algebra II class. I would not recommend this to a student in algebra II struggling with the content. It would be more appropriate as something to do during summer break after passing the class, or during the last part of class to review for the final. I deducted a star because some of the answers in the back are wrong, which can be very frustrating sometimes, but it does make you check your work carefully.
This book is an absolute essential compliment to Algebra II for Dummies, the main text. I have completed the mathematics series for Dummies but these two books seriously pick up the complexity and most will likely need both to fully round out their understandings of the content therein. Overall, if you want to learn the entire breadth of mathematics, how it all links together both philosophically and mechanically, I highly recommend the Dummies series.
