Good SAT Prep Books for Math?

Hi everyone. As math has always been my Achilles heel, I need a bit of help preparing for the SAT Math section. Can someone recommend me some solid prep books that could help me study? Thank you!

Hello! A couple of books stand out when thinking about the best resources to strengthen your SAT Math skills:

1. "The College Panda's SAT Math: Advanced Guide and Workbook" - Developed by Nielson Phu, an SAT perfect scorer, it has clear explanations and solid problem sets focusing on understanding core concepts and strategies needed for solving each type of problem in the SAT Math section.

2. "Dr. John Chung's SAT Math" - This book is great for students looking to achieve top scores. It has a good collection of practice problems that are often considered more challenging than the actual SAT, making the real exam seem easier. However, if you're just starting out or if you find math quite challenging, you might find this book a little difficult to follow.

Remember though, books alone won't improve your score; consistent practice and understanding of the concepts are key. You could also consider using digital resources like Khan Academy, which offers free SAT prep and allows you to work at your own pace. Good luck with your prep!
