Very Helpful Study Tool October 5, 2008
I used this book in conjunction with the Kaplan Mathematics IC and IIC study guide and the Real SAT Subject Tests and I thought it worked really well. The tests in this book are invaluable and though a bit hard, give very good preparation for the test.
I just took the Math IC test yesterday and I didn't encounter any questions I didn't know so that to me says this book was a success.
Great September 3, 2008
Looks like it is going to be of great assistance to me as I prep for my SAT subject test(s).
 Very Comprehensive June 8, 2008
Covers all the topics of the Math I, I just took it today and this Math book sufficiently prepared me for the questions I faced. As with all Barron's books the questions the questions in this were harder, so I was relieved as compared to the Math I test. The chapter reviews are very helpful and it dicusses each topic, although some are rarely even tested, this is a full comprehensive guide, and possibly one of the best guides you can purchase. If only I had had enough time to complete the entire book, it is a very helpful teaching and reference guide.
Good, solid book for self-preparation May 31, 2008

This book is written to give student the idea of what exam is actually about and does not replace a regular textbook or a good teacher, but still can help a lot.
The book contains 18 chapters which cover most topics well and three model tests. It's well worth the money.
Chapter 2: "Tactics" is really valuable and covers eight very useful approaches to solving SAP math problems. Exersises (with solutions) are good and as far as I can tell are pretty realistic. Three model tests are the real strong point of the book. Each of them is worth the price of the book alone.
Shortcomings are few. IMHO ideas of chapter 2 are not sufficiently reinforced in other chapters. The geometry section can be enlarged as this topic usually creates for student the most problems. Also topics are treated as isolated without pointing to bridges between them (for example between trigonometry and geometrical problems). Some tricks possible because graphic calculator is allowed (and it is IMHO a must ) are not covered but this is minor problem as few high schools use it and other things equal it is better to use the calculator that you know well and get used to.
Highly recommended and can save the family a lot of money if the student has adequate motivation to study himself/herself.
