<p>I have a family friend who is preparing for the SAT. His math is poor for a sophomore. The pretest ( one of BB samples) shows around 500. (His CR and writing are reasonably good.) I personally don’t think with this math background just doing sample tests is helping much. To get started, he probably needs to study/review some material he is very unfamiliar with and is required by the SAT. Please suggest a book. I’d guess a workbook probably works better but I don’t know at book at this level. Thanks!</p>

<p>Gruber’s Complete SAT Math Workbook is the most commonly suggested math workbook on CollegeConfidential. I have not gone through it though; so I cannot tell you if it is the best.</p>
<p>Tell your friend not to worry. First of all, another year of math in school will do him a world of good (this time period was where I made my improvement from a 64 to a 79 on the PSAT). I only used Kaplan and practice tests for math, but your friend may need a little more…</p>
