Do you hate math? Are you fearful before taking an algebra test? Do you avoid taking your math classes until the last few semesters before graduation? If you answered yes to all of these questions, or even just one, you should definitely consider purchasing this book! Read it, try the suggestions that match your learning style (my style is visual/social, except for a handful of classes in which I study more effectively alone), and do yourself a favor by adopting a positive attitude towards math. I know it's easier said than done, but you can pass math, and manage to enjoy it as well. Do not be afraid to use resources like books, study aid hand-outs from your college learning center, math videos, and your instructor. After all, they do want you to successfully pass their class. One last tidbit of advice that I'll offer is this: do not wait until the final exam to study or to get help. Start studying for this exam the first day of class.
