EDITORIAL REVIEW

Now in its sixth printing and all new for 2005, this book does more than teach you how to solve the problem. It teaches you how to see the problem, how to recognize and avoid the traps, and how to think! Even if you hate geometry, have nightmares about algebraic equations, and can't stand the sight of a percent sign, this book will turn you into a fearless giant-killer. Using SAT-style questions to demonstrate one hundred critical concepts, it delivers plenty of straight talk, solid information, humor, crystal-clear diagrams, cartoons, teaching boxes, a very complete glossary, and lots more! Remember: there's math, and there's SAT math. A great score comes from knowing the difference. And if you don't understand that, you need this book! (120 pages)

Great book
~ Written on Feb 13, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

I gave it 4 stars because it could have been longer. The book is good for those that need extra help in math.

Incredibly helpful and not just for the SAT!

I used this book to as a study tool for the Praxis I exam. "100 Math Tips for the SAT" provides a variety of problems and supplemental explanations for these problems. As I went through the problems in the book, I was initially stumped by some. However, as I read through Gulotta's explanations and instructions, I found myself immediately understanding what I was doing wrong. Gulotta not only predicted the mistakes I was making, but took me through step by step instructions on how to avoid such mistakes. Gulotta doesn't take for granted the fact that not everyone is a math genius. Problems are broken down so clearly that even someone as "un-math savvy" as myself can learn. I definitely recommend this book to anyone studying for the math section of the Praxis exam. Thanks to this book, I went into the exam feeling confident and left the exam feeling confident!

I'll update my review once we've taken the SAT

All i have done so far is read through it and it looks great! It is entertaining and enjoyable to look at and it seems to really help teenagers remember those SAT Math problems they are going to need to know. I'll update my review once we've finished the book and taken the SAT.

A good way to get your feet wet

I liked this book a lot because it wasn't intimidating. A lot of SAT books are HUGE, and you may feel as if you're drowning in material. This book quickly introduces you to the types of problems you'll see on the SAT, and does it in a way that's fun and makes you want to read on. You'll be feeling better about the whole SAT experience before you know it. The math in this book is not terribly difficult, so it's not for people who want to learn advanced mathetmatics. It's more about how to APPROACH SAT math problems, and the pitfalls most students fall prey to (far more invaluable than a math book on the SAT, believe me). However, the problems in the book are explained very comprehensively, so if you're phobic about math at all, this is perfect for you. I still recommend other books in addition to this one, because it contains no actual practice tests.

Lacks what you REALLY need

Don't bother with this book if you're even close to being a math enthusiast. If you are you would know all this material implicitly. There are only 130 problems total and even a low-grade virtuoso of the mathematical philosophies could finish the problems in a couple hours. The people who should be getting this book are those who have waited until the last minute to prepare for the SAT. Don't even bother with this for the PSAT. If you wait until the last minute to prepare for the PSAT and need this book, you aren't going to make the cutoff (for the National Merit Scholarship program). Believe me
