Geometry (CliffsStudySolver) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Better than a teacher.
Comment: I'm a high school freshman-going-on-sophomore and I bought this to help prep myself for a get-ahead summer course I'm taking. So far, I've learned faster and better than I have with any of my previous math teachers.
Essentially a learning-by-example book, the description of new theories and postulates can be sketchy at first, but the multitudes of examples help to cement the ideas, and end of chapter tests ensure you don't forget.
If I had any gripes, they would be about the elusive problem 20, which I was instructed by the book to refer to a few times. Also annoying was the fact that the answers to the problems were often on the same page, making it hard to answer of your own skill, due to a wandering eye. Other than those minor issues, however, this book was a lifesaver.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for prep, review, or even to help you pass a class if ever you're stuck with a truly horrible teacher.

Summary: Great for reviewing
Comment: I used this book to study for Middle School Math Praxis (20069) and was very pleased. I also used Cliff's Algebra I and II, which were also great

Summary: Excellent
Comment: This is a excellent guide in learning the fundamentals of geometry. The theorems and concepts are easy to grasp and the problems at the end of each theorem(s) make it easier to memorize. The only problem i have with this book is that some problems are easier than what can be expected on SAT II Math Level IIC or SAT I.I would suggest to buy Schaum's Outline Geometry to further your knowledge in geometry. Cliffnotes for easy explantations and Schaum's for the problems and extra concepts that are not discussed in cliffnotes. Overall, I was very satisfied to find a book that made geometry easier than I expected
