MtnTeaching Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Does anyone know of a good source to use as a quick math review for SAT/ACT testing? Ds is taking the ACT in Feb. and then the SAT in March. He could really use a quick, comprehensive review on his math skills. His PSAT was not where it should be - at all. I was actually a bit suprised. He is swamped with AP courses, but needs to be able to fit a math review in before the tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 My daughter found the Chalk Dust SAT Math Review to be helpful for the math portion of both the PSAT and SAT. I had my teen watch the DVD and stop it whenever she needed/wished to work a problem. She also did several practice tests (in their entirety) as well as worked through math sections in the big blue book. Ideally, I'd start the Chalkdust program about 8 weeks before the test for maximum effect. I'd also suggest reading/working through a SAT math prep book such as Princeton Review's Math Workout for the SAT to learn some test taking strategies.Regards,Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Bumping this. We just got my son's PSAT scores and he needs to work on math as well. Any additional ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The McGraw Hill SAT guide by Christopher Black. For additional practice, get the college board Blue Book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
