Mastering the math SAT
(100 math tips for the SAT) is a guide to help you navigate through challenging math SAT questions. This study book has helped me to understand the kinds of questions on the math SAT and how to solve them as quickly as possible using logic, common sense and simple math. The book is a useful study guide because it clearly shows the steps for solving a problem plus its easy to read and understand. Although i have not taken the SAT yet i feel more confident in my math abilities because this book has helped me to see how easy math can be if you understand the mathematical language.

Great book
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. ... Read more
