PRACTICE BOOK
WITH SOLUTIONS
PREFACE
"The struggle is real." That is how I describe my many years of
teaching Mathematics! From finding reference materials that contain
almost everything I need to preparing students for international
assessments like SAT, PSAT, CIE and IB have been quite a huge
challenge because textbooks and other resources vary accordingly.
This practice book contains more exercises with solutions based on
blended SAT Math curriculum. I have compiled as many
questions as possible with corresponding solution for each type.
SAT and PSAT exam preparation exercises are the central
components and main focus of this workbook. I want users of this
book to have an all-in-one go-to material where they can find everything
they need to enhance their Math skills and eventually earn mastery of
the topics.
Preparing students for SAT was my inspiration on why I came up with
designing this practice book. My objective is to be able to help
students achieve 600 points and above. This book is special as it
contains questions with handwritten solutions.
This practice book is a product of my many years of teaching
experience, and it took me a year to finally complete it. I am sure this
will be a big help for students. Though this has a simple structure, I
still suggest that students first review the topics from different
resources, then take hold of this book and solve all practice questions
to attain the target score.
