1600.io SAT Math Orange Book: Every SAT Math Topic, Patiently Explained
The 1600.io team
The 1600.io “Orange Book” establishes a new category of premium SAT instructional materials. This text is not a collection of “tricks” or “hacks” for getting around the SAT’s function of assessing students’ skills. Instead, it meets the test on its own terms by providing comprehensive, clear, and patient education in every mathematical concept that can appear on the exam according to the officially published specifications for the test.
Note that this is a two-volume set, with the topics divided between the volumes, so students should purchase both volumes to have the complete text.

Michael Cerro, Dan Chait, Owen Hill, Max McMahon, and Chris Reddick – Private Prep
“In our years of tutoring, we noticed that students hoping to excel on the math section of the ACT didn’t need content organized by classroom topics; they needed exercises and drills that trained the skills required by the ACT, laid out in a format that looked like the ACT. We mined our collective experience to boil down each concept to its most important parts, organizing them into a clear and concise method. This isn’t some math book that gets distracted by theory or off-topic drills, it is a book focused on ACT performance, delivering our guidance with the same warm camaraderie we bring to our daily sessions.” – Michael Cerro, Dan Chait, Owen Hill, Max McMahon, and Chris Reddick
Kyla Haggerty, Tehya Baxter, Emily Lubejko, and Daniel Hamilton – Private Prep

Students saw improved scores and acceptance into great schools, so we decided to write the how-to’s in this book. We know that the ACT Reading section can feel impossible to prepare for. After all, how do you study reading? Well, in this book, we’ll show you the strategies that work.” – Kyla Haggerty, Tehya Baxter, Emily Lubejko, and Daniel Hamilton
Ian Siegel – Streamline Tutors
The Tutor Bible exposes a reality hiding in plain sight: school doesn’t serve our educational needs in the 21st century. Through a historical, psychological, and philosophical analysis, the Tutor Bible sheds light on a better way of educating our students – one that excavates students from cycles of self-judgment reinforced by grade inflation, social media, and college admissions and thereby allows students to achieve their potential.
