Review of
Peterson’s
SAT Math Flash, by Michael R. Crystal ISBN 156079321x
Five out of five stars
As someone that
has taught math for many years in general and specifically tutored several students
preparing for college placement exams, I have seen several books specifically
designed to provide practice problems in math.
This book ranks
up there with the best of them. The problems require some non-obvious yet
non-trivial thinking to understand and then solve the problem. Even experienced
teachers may have to read some of the questions twice in order to understand and
solve them. They are excellent exercises for the mathematical muscles needed to
succeed in the math portion for both types of college placement exams.
