Customer Reviews

A steal at 15 cents a problem....

I am far from being a math genius, but math has always clicked for me. For my sister, however, math meant sitting down, solving, and hitting herself afterwards when she remembers some stupid mistake that could have been prevented. For her, the knowledge was there, but the connection wasn't. Often I would try to help her solve math problems only to frustrate the both of us. While shopping online, I remembered that Charles Gulotta's 500 Key Words to the SATs book was exceptional. Taking the leap of faith, I bought the Math Book as a "gift" for my sister. She wasn't thrilled but after much pestering, she reluctantly agreed to give it a chance. I was thrilled when my sister looked at the first few problems and was able to fully understand them after reading Charles' explanation. Curious, I grabbed the book from my sister and was awed by Gulotta's ability to lucidly explain each problem. He was able to anticipate many of the SAT's tricks and even carefully explained ways to avoid such pitfalls. Often while studying, I would hear my sister gasp as she realizes that Gulotta had predicted her error. I am satisfied with the quality of this book and recommend it to others. SAT math isn't complicated, just tricky. Gulotta seems to know his stuff when it comes to avoiding these pitfalls.

Can't Go Wrong With This One!

This book is a must for any student preparing for the SAT's. Gulotta cuts through all of the hype about this misrepresented test and does it with a book that is far less thick than most of the telephone-book sized study guides out there. I recommend it to all of my students and it has given them confidence to see through the tricks and traps of the SAT's.

Get ready to pass the SAT with a high score! I could not believe it when my mom bought this book for me. I didn't think anything could help me. I took Algebra, Geometry and Trignometry, in high school, and I was an average student. I wanted to go to college, and I knew that if I was going to go to a good college, I would have to attain a high score on the SAT. Well, my mom insisted that I read this book, because one of her friend's kid read this book, and I guess he wasn't too good in math either, and when he got his SAT score back, his highest score was in the math portion of the SAT. Well, I finally did read this book, and I could not believe how I was getting a refresher course from this book. As I started to delve into this workbook, I felt that the author of the book was right here with me, directing me. All the math that I took in high school, all came back to me. The author of the book, seem to really know his stuff, (especially what was going to be on the math SAT). The author seemed like a buddy (his way of writing). I felt like a friend was helping me with my math problems. When the time came to take the Math SAT, I was ready. I could not believe how easy I thought that the math portion of the test was. I just flew through the test, it was just so easy for me, due to the fact that I read this workbook. Believe me, all you high school students, (and parents too) do yourself a favor, and get this book! I know that if it wasn't for this book, I would not be attending USC this year.

our new best friend

When i recieved this book, i was turned off by the cover and assumed it would be boring. Little did I know that once I opened the book I would not put it down for 5 hours. My 16 year old daughter, who is preparing for the SATs and I sat down and were thoroughly entertained and educated for the whole night. We were filled with laughter and excitment with each page. Who would have figured math would be so much fun. We both felt like Charles Gulotta was speaking directly to us. It is a great book and we recommend it to anyone.

This book helped me a great deal in the SAT math section.

When I was taking the SAT in 9th grade I didn't think I was going to do that well but when I got the 100 SAT math tips and 500 SAT words and how to remeber them forever prep books they both contributed to my 1300!
