"I bought this as well as the PWN the SAT but my son only used the College Panda Math. Both seem organized well in print. What I like about College Panda is that there is a website and any errors made in printing are mentioned on the website - that is great. My son had PSAT score of 660 on Math. He took his SAT first time as a junior Oct 6 and scored 770 on the math - only got 2 wrong total. He did the College panda math - most of the book and then 5 of the 8 real practice SAT questions in print - but done without time limit in beginning and only one section at a time. We also used the College Panda writing which he got 3 wrong but got 9 wrong on reading portion - it would be nice if there was a Reading book but based on practice tests - this was the section that varied a lot in scoring for my son - depending on what the reading passages were. We also got the College panda essay book as well but he didn't really practice any and didn't really use it and figured that his application essays would count more - he scored 5/4/6 - I advised him to write close to 3-4 pages but he only got to 2 1/2 pages - I'm sure he would have scored higher just if he had written longer."

• Very through book, but as someone who has taught SAT/ACT for over 15 yrs, I can tell you that it has you doing questions/concepts that are not on either test. That is a big deal because the last thing you want to do is to waste your valuable time doing problems like a radical in a radical or simple interest and so many other questions that you will not find on an actual test.
  
  The author could make this book half the size and get rid of questions non-existent on either test and it would deliver the same benefit--without having you spin your wheels for questions you will never see on either test.
• I recently took the SAT and managed to get a perfect score in math, part of which I attribute to my preparation with this book.
  It's meant to be a review book for the SAT specifically, and I see people reviewing it as a go-to math book. I don't think it's that, but it does have exactly what the SAT offers. It's great if you're proficient in math already and want to see what the SAT has to offer in a single book and gives real insight into the exam with quick tips, examples of questions, and well-explained answers in the examples. If you're a student who needs a bit more help in math, it might not be best book.
  But I was mainly using it as a review to freshen up my skills specifically for the SAT. And in that end, it worked great.
• I bought this book and used it front to end with my high-schooler. Overall, we really enjoyed the book and loved the tone and style that Mr. Phu presented when explaining the concepts and skills. The book was very in-depth and thorough on some topics such as quadratics, word problems, equation solving strategies, statistics. The practices were very well designed! Confidence and proficiency in SAT skills were greatly improved after my kid finished the book.
  
  However, I’d like to point out the following minor areas for Mr. Phu in order for him to further improve the book.
  
  First, in the Table of Content, the subtitles for each chapter do not align with those used within the specific chapter. Also, it would be very helpful for the readers if page number for each subtitle is added in the Table of Content.
  
  Second, on pp. 267-268, the answers to problem #1 and #6 should be positive as area, pi, radius, height, volume can’t be negative; the answers to #29-31 should have been further simplified.
  
  Other than that, we didn’t find other errors or typos in the book.
  
  Brovo to Mr. Phu’s effort in writing this book!

• I originally purchased 4 different SAT study guides for my daughter. College Panda was her favorite and one of two (also used the college board book of full length tests) that she really used. The other two books were given to a friend who had a lower starting score and needed more basic help. My daughter used the college panda book to prepare for the PSAT and her score went up from a 1290 sophomore year to a 1440 junior year. She liked this book so much that she asked me to purchase it again so that she could use it to study for the December SAT and wouldn’t have to erase her first book. Scores came out today and she got a 1500. This book has helped her bring her math score up so much! I will use College Panda books for my younger children as well.
• I can honestly say, this is one of the best SAT Math prep books ever written. The book is very useful as it introduced the concepts, then provided exercises (eerily similar to the actual SAT Math problems) and later provided solutions to those questions. It goes over the basic fundamentals of math you need to know for the SAT and then expands on that knowledge to push you above your target score. Overall, I really recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their SAT Math score!
• Great Test Prep Book! If you're looking for a book that packs the same punch, substance-wise, as the big-box company books, but possesses more dexterity and creativity of explanation, afforded only by a smaller publisher, then is book is for you!
  
  By far, my favorite part of this book is that "for a complete understanding, this book is best read from beginning to end." This allows the reader to slowly build their foundation, leaving no stone unturned, which will be necessary as problems become increasingly difficult. Even with this being said, Phu makes sure to write each section as independently as possible, so that you may still skip over sections your stronger in, and proceed to areas in which you need more practice.
  
  I can say, in good faith, that I've went from algebraically-challenged (3 years removed from high school algebra, where I received a D), to feeling very confident in my understanding of the math skills I'll need to conquer the SAT, come December 2nd. Thank you, Mr. Phu!
