Synopsis:

Getting into the nation's most competitive universities requires more than a good SAT score―it requires a perfect score. Perfect 800: SAT Math gives advanced students the tools needed to master the SAT math test. Covering areas including arithmetic concepts, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and additional topics such as probability and weighted average, this book offers exposure to a wide range of degrees of difficulty in a holistic approach that allows students to experience the “real thing,” including the impact of time constraints on their performance. By emphasizing critical thinking and analytic skills over memorization and trial and error, this book ensures optimal usage of time and maximizes the pace of progress as students prepare for the all-important test. This book includes access to an online simulated test and an in-depth analysis tool that provides students with an assessment of their results and a list of recommendations for an improved performance.

The previous edition of this book was chosen with high praise as a textbook for the National Society for the Gifted and Talented's Summer Institute for the Gifted program in 2014 and 2015.

Grades 9-12

About the Author:

Dan Celenti holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics and has worked as a scientist, engineer, and educator (college professor and tutor). His wealth of experience―from conducting research in plasma physics and developing software for simulation of integrated circuits, to developing architectures for voice and data communication networks―has enabled him to take a pragmatic and holistic approach to the study of math. Dan's current job is with AT&T-Labs, and he lives with his wife and their 11-year old son in Holmdel, NJ. In his spare time―when he doesn't "do math" (an activity he prefers to refer to as "playing mind games")―he likes to play tennis, go skiing, play guitar, read, watch independent movies, coach Little League basketball, spend time in Manhattan, hang out with his friends, and travel the world: a world in which he truly believes that "math is everything!"
