About this title

Synopsis

If you’re reading this book description, you’re thinking about what it takes to go to your dream school. You’re motivated. You’re ambitious. You have to crush the GMAT, GRE, SAT, or ACT which is standing between you and admission to your dream school.

You’ve probably even checked out the other test prep books on the market, but you found them either too basic to help you get a top score on the test or too academic to understand which leaves you feeling frustrated. You’re searching for a better approach.

You realize that roughly 19 out of every 20 standardized test math problems are written as Word Problems.You think to yourself “Ugh! I hate word problems. They make no sense. Why can’t the test just tell me what I’m supposed to solve?”

Here’s the secret: Your value, as a future professional, comes from knowing how to figure out what to do, not just do what someone else told you to do. Most of the wrong answer choices on multiple choice tests are the result of errors in logic, not errors in calculation. In other words, your success on the quantitative section of your admissions test is dependent upon your ability to translate word problems from Words to Math.

All Your Word Problems, Solved is your guide to learning how to get better at systematically recognizing different types of math word problems and translating from Words to Math. Take a look inside at the table of contents...you’ll discover how strategically solve math word problems across Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry concepts.

All Your Word Problems, Solved explains how to correctly translate, set up, and solve word problems of all types, including:

1. Algebra Word Problems: linear equations, exponential growth, ratios, proportions, age problems, work-rate, distance-rate, systems of equations with 2 variables, mixtures, dilutions, weighted averages, interest, profit, percent of, percent change, probability, permutations, combinations, sequences and series, patterns, functions, and symbol problems.
2. Geometry Word Problems: triangles, lines, angles, concentric circles, coordinate geometry, complex geometric figures.

“Reading through the first couple of chapters of your book I can't stop thinking to myself: why didn't I see this before? This should be in every curriculum! How I wish I had been taught math this way in my school years; I'd be a math genius by now. Not a series of formulas to memorize and apply, but a problem-solving arsenal to be used creatively. I'm now looking forward to having some fun with this...I don't think I've ever been this excited about a math book before.”
