Most test prep books out there today cater to the masses, which, given the national average (~1050), means dumbed-down overly simplistic material. The typical guide illustrates entire concepts with just one example, yet somehow takes an entire chapter to explain the format of the test(??). As any high-scoring student knows, the SAT and the ACT repeatedly test the same concepts but not in the same way. That's why it's important to be exposed to as many practice problems as possible. As a teacher, I struggled to find a more thorough guide that would address the basic question types as well as the complex. I ended up having to write much of my own curriculum to help my more advanced students, and that material eventually became these books.
These guides go in-depth, covering every concept and the many question variations that come up, including the oddballs. You won't find anything not on the test—everything in these books has shown up on past exams. You also won't find a focus on questions that are too easy. Tons of practice questions arranged by topic will get you to mastery.

This book brings together everything you need to know for the math section. Unlike most other test prep books, this one is truly geared towards the student aiming for the perfect score. It leaves no stones unturned.
