Included with each lesson are a few example problems that demonstrate the various facets of the covered topic, and 25 practice problems that allow one to take a deep dive and practice the specific techniques and methods rigorously (for a total of 200 practice problems). Additionally, the book includes 1 complete SHSAT Math practice test, to help the student assess your readiness for the exam.
