PWN The SAT: Math Guide Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
PWN is back and better than ever.The PWN the SAT Math Guide was created to help ambitious, highly motivated kids maximize their SAT math scores. Do you crave a higher score? Are you willing to do a little hard work to achieve it? Good. I knew I liked you.Read this book from beginning to end, with a pencil in hand and a calculator and an Official SAT Study Guide by your side. When you're done, you'll be able to approach the SAT with confidence--very few questions will surprise you, and even fewer will be able to withstand your withering attacks.Stand tall, intrepid student. Destiny awaits.Updated for the New SATThis new edition of the Math Guide has been updated, rather painstakingly, to reflect the realities of the new SAT coming March 2016. This book was not rushed to market to take advantage of interest in the new exam. I took my time, and hopefully I got it right.Chapters are broken into five major sections: Techniques, Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Additional Topics in Math. Each chapter concludes with a reference list of similar questions from official practice tests. Practice questions are designated as either "Calculator" or "No calculator." Students will be forbidden from using their calculators for one whole section of the new SAT.Emphasis is placed on nimbleness--the ability to approach problems in multiple ways to find the one that works best. Calculator solutions and shortcuts are provided where appropriate.Join me onlineReaders of this book are encouraged to register as Math Guide Owners at the PWN Test Prep website.

I've been an SAT tutor for several years. The highest compliment that I can give this book is I used it myself to get ready to tutor the new SAT.Second highest compliment: it's the only SAT math book I recommend to students.Third highest: it's clearly written by someone who cares deeply about teaching students. It painstakingly covers all the math students will need without shortcutting anything.Fourth: it's funny, irreverent, and down-to-earth, which all adds up to readable. Most students will have no trouble staying engaged with this book.One caveat: it is probably best given to students who are fairly to highly motivated and who are already scoring at the average or above level in SAT math. But it really stands out in the crowded SAT prep marketplace as a refreshing alternative to the typical corporate test-prep tomes.
Excellent math prep book for the brand new 2016 SAT. Each section includes detailed reading of the actual content you need to know but also test strategies and tips. Tons of practice are available at the end of each mini section and more at the end of the chapter. Overall this is a must-have resource to get a leg up on the new test.
I'm an SAT and ACT prep tutor of 20+ years' experience, teaching students in New York and around the world online. So I know all the big publishers' textbooks for SAT math but this is the best resource I've found. It's comprehensive, funny, concise and student-friendly without pandering or patronizing. The author has studied the SAT in depth and adapted his solid textbook for the old SAT to the new one with fresh chapters and skillsets to practice. This is a book for all students, not just the top scorers, though they will particularly benefit from it. The focus is on understanding the math and then finding smart ways to get to the answers fast, learning flexibility to solve problems by multiple paths. There is also a free website and blog with explanations to tough SAT questions and challenging online quizzes with video explanations coming soon, offered to all for free for the first week and then exclusively for PWN the SAT: Math Guide owners. It's a terrific resource and (almost) makes you feel excited about doing SAT Math. Studing with PWN is a no-brainer: Get your SAT math on with PWN and get more points on the SAT.Karen Berlin IshiiPremier Tutoring and Test Prep in New York City and online internationallykarenberlinishii.com
I purchased this book for my daughter. Here is her review of the book: I really loved this book! Math tends to be my lowest section, so when I saw the reviews on this book I figured why not give it a try? It was very easy to understand and simple. I loved the humorous, conversational tone of the book which made it a lot more student-friendly. I love how he has an index of techniques for each practice test. It really helped me when I reviewed my practice test; I got the questions right immediately! I really appreciate the author's effort toward putting out such a great book. If you actually follow the study plan/suggestions that he offers in the book I think it can really help you. You should also take advantage of the opportunities available to the Math Guide Owners (you'll know what I'm talking about if you buy the book). I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to raise their SAT scores and just understand math better in general. I look forward to pwning the SAT thanks to this book :)
There are literally hundreds of SAT Math Review books sold on ... Most are "outdated" now as they don't reflect the new SAT structure... PWN the SAT has a humorous, yet effective way to review the relevant math sections of the new test. It's not designed to teach basic concepts ---nor is it a collection of practice math problems.Of all the "new" SAT Math books, Mike McClenathan's PWN the SAT is my son's favorite.
As a tutor myself, I see a lot of prep books. It's not enough to say that this book is better than any of the others. It's so far above all the other prep material that is out there for the math section of the SAT.I would recommend going through this book and then working through the Official Guide from the College Board. It would be a shame to prepare for the test without the benefit of this book.A very, very worthy purchase.
Mike, good, solid work for this new test. I recommend it to my students.
