Guide Review - Essential Review - High School Resource

I would highly recommend this book by Kaplan if you are: returning to school, experiencing weak results in highschool math, preparing for SATs, requiring additional practice in key areas or simply wanting to improve your grades. This book is practical and focuses on key topic areas. You will find the diagnostic tests to be most appropriate. Use the diagnostic tests to focus on your areas of weakness, thereby targeting areas to improve upon. The step by step solutions will provide you with the guidance needed to determine where you went wrong. Identities, rules and formulas are provided and clear explanations accompany their use. This text is well organized and easy to follow - true to the Kaplan style.
