@CHD2013 Almost all the errors are stupid grammar or spelling errors - who cares? Its the best book for SAT Math to get an 800

There have been similar books in the past that had the same problems. The poor syntax and spelling are NOT the biggest issue. It simply underscores an incredibly poor attention to details and a lack of intelligent editing. Leaving errors and missing parts of the answers go beyond mere grammatical erros.

The other issue is NOT that it is an “Asian” as there are a number of great books that have come from that part of the world. A tad different but helpful when they … cover the appropriate scope. This is now how Chung works as he has shown to be hopelessly confused about the scope of the regular SAT. The biggest problem of the book is its irrelevance.

A marathon runner does not train by running sprints. Your preparation should be based on using official tests and look for the answers when needed in a number of source books. On that basis, Chung is a total failure. If one is curious about the book, all it takes is to Amazon search it. At that level, the price is right. Spending a nickel on this junk is a mistake. Caveat Emptor!

In the end, why waste your precious time on a poor book when there are a number of good ones? Would you buy shoes that do not fit because a couple of idiots say they look good?
