Excellent book.
I had to wait two weeks to receive the book in my country, but the wait was worth it. It's a good book with beautiful, visually pleasing problems. I congratulate the author on such fine work.

100% recommend!!!!
Amazing book! I would recommend studying at least 2-3 months beforehand that way this book doesn’t feel too long for you, and that way you wouldn’t be exhausted. Anyways I ended up getting a 740 on the math section! I wasn’t happy with my overall score but I was happy with my math score!

Buy if you are already good at math
There is an easier version of the college panda math prep if Math isn't your strong suit. This book is really good though if you already find math fairly easy/doable. Otherwise I would recommend starting with the easier math book and working your way up to this book.

Comprehensive SAT Math Prep with Practical Strategies
The book offers clear explanations of complex math concepts and provides practical strategies that are essential for tackling the SAT. I particularly appreciated the well-structured practice problems that build in difficulty, helping to reinforce learning progressively.The detailed answer explanations are a standout feature, as they break down the thought process behind each solution, which is invaluable for understanding mistakes. However, some sections can feel a bit overwhelming, especially for students who may not have a strong math background. Overall, it's an excellent guide for motivated learners looking to excel in the math section of the SAT!

Serious book for serious scores without the fluff
Having already had 2 students enter college, I have looked at a lot of PSAT/SAT prep materials over the years. It's hard to find any that are geared toward the more competitive students who already are performing decently but want to have confidence that they've fully cataloged ALL the types of questions, and want insight into the real 'gotchas' of the test. This book does exactly that, is straightforward to read, and doesn't waste your time with any nonessentials.While Nielson's book is indeed geared toward those aiming for seriously competitive scores, I'm sure it would also be helpful to those who just wanted to understand the "what" and "how" of SAT. Don't bother with the super-thick, fluff-filled guides churned out by the 'bigger' publishers -- too much bloatware in this books! They seem to think the page count justifies their cost, I guess. This book lays out the scope of the problem types in a no-nonsense manner. If you need a general introduction to 'what is the SAT', how long does it take, etc. then perhaps skim through the beginning chapters of one of those 'fluff' books. But then come use Nielson's for actual study/prep.One small criticism (not even worth a point/star off on review) is that, like ANY and EVERY prep book not directly published under CollegeBoard (i.e., CollegeBoard or Khan Academy) the problems are unofficial. Why is that important? Because the test authors have a *very particular* manner of authoring the problems (and answers) so they fit their standardized mold. (Which, by the way, is why all those practice tests in the 'big fluff' books are nearly worthless and even misleading. It's just more heft to justify the price.) So just be sure that if you use the CollegePanda then (as Nielson also tells you) do the REAL PRACTICE on OFFICIAL (new) SAT tests & practice questions.

Comprehensive Math Guide for SAT and ACT as well
When it comes to standardized testing the mindset of solving is very important as opposed to a rigor alone approach. College Panda's quality of problems and challenges are HOT skills oriented ( Higher ORder Thinking ). I own a tutoring company and we are adapting this as our standard.
