Not helpful,
I started using this book a few weeks ago and had extreme difficulty answering the problems without looking at their explanations, which weren’t the best. The problems are not even problems that would be on the actual Math level IIC test. the only good thing about this book is that after each section they list out formulas you need to know. but the thing is, they don’t even teach you the formulas before being tested on a problem that requires certain formulas, and it’s just a heap of confusion when I take their “followup” tests or “diagnostic” tests for each section. I do not recommend you to buy this book. The problems are completely unrelated
if you’re short on time don’t buy this.

This Book is Horrendous,
The SAT II Kaplan review book is nothing shy of awful. For one the material is missing extraordinarily important topics, like exponential decay/growth for example. The problems are frustratingly unclear, not relevant to the actual exam, and the explanations are completely not satisfactory. I should have saved my money and just used the sparknotes online for free.
This is hands down the worst test prep book ive ever come across

great book to teach logic to children,
This book by Lewis Carroll is a wonderful source to learn the basics of logic in a funny and natural way. It can be used as a self-study guide or as a manual for educators teaching elements of logic to schoolchildren. It is very clear and consequent and gives the basic idea of propositions and syllogisms. The theory is framed in an unusual game that makes it much more understandable. As always Carroll’s examples are a little bit absurdic but this is exactly what makes them humorous, attractive and involving. The book is also a great brain teaser for readers of all ages. Unfortunately it is not as well known as Alice in Wonderland but it has been translated into many foreign languages. I widely used the Russain translation when teaching logic to schoolchildren in St. Petersburg, Russia. Currently being a doctoral student in the States I try to introduce it to my colleagues.

Reminds us that math can be FUN,
Math is fun, but the rhetoric of most ‘taught’ (probably an overstatement) math (and, by extension, logic) is so incredibly dry that the forest is rarely seen for the bark on the trees. But here Carroll, with tongue lodged firmly in cheek, turns the rhetoric (and by extension, the way we think about math problems) on its ear, and the result is an often incredibly funny approach to math and logic problems which stays with you and ultimately worms its way into your quotidian. I’ll also say that, as an atrociously poor student in high school, this book allowed me to ace the SATs, and then ten years later the GREs.
