320 SAT Math Problems arranged by Topic and Difficulty Level

by Steve Warner

"320 SAT Math Problems" gives you the most effective tips, tricks and tactics from Dr. Steve Warner, a Math Professor and SAT math tutor whose students pay him $500 an hour to access these exclusive strategies and powerful teaching methods during private sessions. The unique techniques that Dr. Warner teaches are the most effective ever published and cannot be found in any other SAT prep book! The material in this book • 320 SAT math problems arranged by topic and difficulty level • solutions with complete explanations for 160 problems • several different solutions for most of the160 solved problems • 160 problems with an answer key for solving on your own Be careful! Some of Dr. Warner’s students have shown such significant score increases that the test makers have accused them of cheating with no evidence besides their score increase from one SAT to the next. If you feel that this may happen to you after using this book please contact Dr. Warner before taking your next SAT and he will tell you how to protect yourself. Beware of other books on the market that claim to be as good as Dr. Warner’s. Other tutors and authors, while very intelligent, often make a mistake by teaching every student how to solve problems in the same way. They do not understand the philosophy of the test and do not always know how to translate their own genius into points which would fit a specific student’s needs depending on his/her math level. “320 SAT Math Problems” is perfect for your SAT math prep for 5 1. Dr. Warner realizes that every student learns differently and this is one of the reasons that many problems are solved in several different ways using different strategies. Every student will be able to find a solution that is a perfect fit for him/her. More advanced students will especially benefit from Dr. Warner’s method of providing multiple solutions by helping them develop many methods to help them solve new problems, and to give deeper insight into the problems themselves so that those problems can be solved more quickly, more easily, and with no chance of making careless errors. 2. There are 320 SAT math problems to practice with split into 5 levels and distributed among the 4 general topic areas covered on the test. Explanations of the solutions are so thorough and comprehensible that even second language speakers can easily follow them. 3. The book is designed to generate huge SAT score increases with only 20 minutes of math preparation each day. By arranging the problems by topic and level, you can easily pick out the problems that you need to focus on to raise your score without wasting time on problems that are too easy or too difficult for you. 4. Dr. Warner’s teaching methods will naturally increase your mathematical maturity so that your potential score increases simultaneously with your actual score. This means that you can actually become capable of getting an 800 even if you were not before picking up the book. The information in the introduction alone is enough to raise your SAT math score up to 50 points before you even attempt one math problem. 5. Dr. Warner has had to teach SAT prep for 14 years to accumulate the powerful combination of insights and strategies found in this book. Years of experience, a Ph.D. in math, and a unique approach have led to the ultimate product that outdoes any other SAT prep book. While other books teach general mathematical knowledge, Dr. Warner’s strategies are designed to exploit the test’s weaknesses, which allow students to save huge amounts of time, avoid careless mistakes, and answer questions correctly while avoiding messy algebraic computations whenever possible.

About the author

Dr. Steve Warner is a mathematician and test prep expert who has been tutoring students in mathematics for standardized tests since 1999. During this time Dr. Warner has used the feedback from thousands of students to develop a unique system that can be used by anyone to drastically improve his or her math score in a very short period of time.

Dr. Warner's philosophy is quite different from most experts in that he focuses on test-specific strategy designed to save time, avoid carelessness, and exploit the weaknesses of standardized tests, as opposed to spending valuable time on the conventional teaching of mathematics. Furthermore, Dr. Warner realizes that students at different score levels must be taught differently and this is reflected very strongly in his materials.

Dr. Warner began tutoring his classmates while he was still in high school, and by the time he started college he had already tutored over 100 students in subjects ranging from algebra to AP calculus. He soon became known as the "math ninja" because of his incredible ability to help students get over a 90 on their tests with just one short tutoring session.

Throughout college Dr. Warner began tutoring more advanced topics such as linear algebra, differential equations and advanced calculus. His ability to get even the weakest math majors to understand deep theoretical concepts became well known throughout the campus. During this time he received several math scholarships and a 4.0 in mathematics, but it wasn't until graduate school that Dr. Warner had an experience which changed his philosophy on teaching forever....

When Dr. Warner began graduate school he actually found himself struggling with the material for the first time. He worked harder than he ever had in the past, but was not able to grasp the concepts as easily as he had as an undergraduate. Dr. Warner finally experienced the feelings that his clients went through. But an interesting thing happened soon after. All of a sudden nothing seemed difficult anymore and he was back at the top of his class. Despite the fact that he was taking even harder classes now, he was once again breezing through them with very little effort.

It was at this time that Dr. Warner had two realizations.

(1) Working harder and long hours does not necessarily lead to more success in mathematics.
(2) It is possible for anyone to increase their skill in mathematics to any level they choose.

You see, during that first year Dr. Warner experimented with many methods to get himself to learn material that was too difficult for him. And eventually he figured it out. It was this final step in his evolution that allowed him to become an even more effective tutor than ever before. What he learned during this process was incorporated into his already successful system of coaching for standardized tests to create a method that not only increased math scores, but simultaneously increased any students' mathematical skill level, whereby increasing their potential score.

Dr. Warner did complete graduate school, earning the TA teaching excellence award in the process, and becoming a successful Professor of Mathematics, first at Penn State and then at Hofstra University where he currently works. During his time at Hofstra he has taught a full range of undergraduate and graduate courses, published several articles in scholarly journals, and participated in a five year, eleven million dollar NSF grant, "The MSTP Project," to improve mathematics and science curriculum in poorly performing middle schools.

In 2012, Dr. Warner founded "GET 800" whose goal it is to provide inexpensive SAT math preparation for students who cannot afford to pay $350 per hour for one on one tutoring from a test prep expert. GET 800 offers 7 SAT math prep books, and a free 12 part email course that is customized for each student based on his or her PSAT/SAT math score.

Dr. Warner works with students individually and in group settings, h
