 - Pretty GoodThe new Math Level 1 and 2 Book is not too bad. However, it is overpriced. This book is the same price as the SAT book with all the Subjects. Just because it has the answers explained does not mean it should be this expensive. I recommend buying from Amazon, since they significantly lower the price by about 30%. I took the Level 2, so I do not know what the Level 1 was like. In actuality it only has one test for each; the second one they give is in the old SAT Subject Tests book (the one that's Red, white and blue). This is a good supplement to Barron's. I took Math Level 2 the first time in October for a score of 720, then retook it in December and got 800 with this book and Barron's. Rating: - Good, but only after a solid review of the materialThis book is great if you need self-confidence. In fact, the real tests are much easier than in any other preparation textbook I've used (Barron's, Kaplan, Princeton,etc). However, it's certainly not enough to ace the SAT. I advise you to first work on "hard" tests. Even if they are not similar, they still give a very stable amount of knowledge. Then, pass the ones in this book only to have a good idea of what to expect on the actual exam. A month or two depending on your math level will allow you to prepare. Rating: - Not what I expectedI ordered the book expecting a review from the people that actually made the test. It's basically just a few practice questions and then the two tests for each level. It's a very thin book and most of it is the tests. It might be a good book for some people just for exam questions but other than that it's not really a review. page 2 of 2
