The math section ... Read More Rating: - Very useful guide with great featuresI was thrilled to see the 2009 version of Gruber's Complete SAT Guide. I have used his books for decades with outstanding results with my students. His new additions to the 2009 version like the "Gruber Hot Prefixes and Roots" (which give you the meaning of over 110,000 words) is excellent and a great way to learn the important prefixes and roots of words. Also his "Words Commonly Mistaken for Each Other" is a great addition. The additions to the Math Refresher and strategy sections are also particularly useful. I ... Read More
