bought the books for my nephew. He got rid of carrying books with him. He can study any subject he wants wherever he wants. His success in lessons has increased. He is getting better every day. We, as his family, are also very happy. It is definitely a must for every student.

I got this book for my son and he shared how incredibly helpful it has been for him. The methods are practical, and the descriptions are so clear and easy to follow.

This book is an excellent resource for students preparing for AMC 8, MathCounts, and other math contests. It offers challenging problems, clear explanations, and great practice for young math enthusiasts!

The practice tests are challenging and reflect real contest questions well. I appreciate the clear solutions that explain not just the answers but the reasoning too. It’s well-structured and builds confidence with each test. Definitely helpful for students aiming to improve their problem-solving skills.

This book is great for grades 4-8 preparing for math competitions like AMC-8, MathCounts, and MathCon. It includes 15 practice tests with detailed solutions, key formulas, and comprehensive reviews. With a 4.5-star rating, it seems to be a useful resource

The biggest problem I had with this book were the mistakes. All kinds: grammar, problem formulation, and answers. Here's an example from no further than Test 1, problem 5: 'How many diagonals does a regular square and octagon have?' First - grammar, "do" instead of "does". Then, semantics : only the square is regular, not the octagon? Third: for clarity, the word 'together" (octagon and square, together) should be specified. A simple, early example where I spotted 3 mistakes.There are the more systemic issues with this book.It contains 20 tests with problems of moderate difficulty for grades 6 and up. However, it states, misleadingly, that the target audience consists of students in Grades 4-8. No way would a student under 6th grade know radicals, probabilities, and advanced geometry.Also misleading is the name American Math Academy, which is just a private tutoring business, nothing to do with The American Mathematical Society.Even the author introduction on the first page is laughable: 10 sentences that explain in bad English that the author is tutoring for everything Math somewhere in NJ.It's a random Math book with 2 minor merits: a few pages with popular formulas in the beginning and the large, relaxed print, useful for kids to scribble the solution directly on the book.Don't buy! The MOEMS and AOPS books for Math Olympiads are clearly organized on elementary and middle school level and have a much better coverage (I am not affiliated with them, I just use them for preparing my kids).
