If I own the CD, should I bother buying the book? I'm about to purchase the Kaplan 800 and Math workout book but not sure if I should be buying the main book as well.

ps. hi :) first post...looks like a great site

I really cant answer you for sure , but I know that cd is very good, I believe that the material is pretty much the same. But there is some extra things I believe in the book. For me, I would get both just for peace of mind. Just my two cents

You don't think the cd had a overly simplistic Math review? I used various sources as a review as I didn't think the cd was strong enough.

I agree, the CD has a bit simple reveiw and is incomplete, as to my opinion. I concentrated on the book instead.


As to Kaplan 800, some think it is similar to the CD due to a number of problems that are similar in both collections (Kaplan 800 uses a number of hard problems from the CD that has tests on it).

I would get the CD-book instead of 800. My opinion.

Bogdan.
