内容简介 Here is a guidebook on how to prepare students for the material presented in the math sections of the SAT. It includes 375 problems and solutions.
专业书评 College-bound students, listen up. If math is one of your strong suits, and you want to get the very best score possible on the New SAT math component, Meierding's book is for you. It is not the usual test prep material with practice questions or practice tests (from actual past SAT exams). He leaves that focus to the leading publishers who have cornered the market. What Meierding offers students instead is an arsenal of strategies and tools that are designed to train students to quickly and accurately answer the math questions. As he points out, the difference between a score of 720 and 800 is a mere five questions. He concentrates on the more difficult questions that students will encounter in the New SAT and stresses that the questions covered in chapters eight through twenty are even more challenging than the actual questions test takers will be given. The first seven chapters outline techniques that teach students how to think. He suggests tips, tricks, and shortcuts that will save time (the average SAT math questions should be answered in 75 seconds), and emphasizes repeatedly that the best way to get the highest score is to use direct methods of logical reasoning to answer correctly, rather than to waste time trying to eliminate the multiple answers given. For the actual questions that he includes, he provides the solutions as well as the principles used to solve them. Not for the mathematically faint-hearted, this book should produce impressive results. It is highly recommended.
