Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Practice
Not just for school but good practice for work, it helps one pay attention to details.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perhaps you should give it another read?
Mr. Fatt Seong Wong recently reviewed this same book claiming it was "no help at all". Seeing as he is a long time member of Amazon (unlike myself) and he has only reviewed one book, perhaps we can conclude that this was the only book he has ever read. If this is the case Mr.Wong, I recommend giving this book another read.

Before picking this book up my SAT scores were admittedly lackluster. However, the authors gave me strategies to tackle one of the more difficult elements of the ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - No help at all
I didn't read the reviews about this book and thought a 4 and 1/2 stars is a good enough for me to give it a try. To my surprise, when I finished the book, it didn't give me any strong idea how to write a good essay. Lots of quotes were taken from famous writers, but these are just rubbish, it won't help me to improve my writing and scores. If what other 1 star reviews said is true, they should be ashamed to put the same reviews in all online store to get higher review points.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Advice for Those Who Heed It
For many of my students, the SAT essay is the most difficult part of that formidable test. Wanting to get a different perspective on how to help these students and being interested in reading sample essays and their evaluations, I purchased this book from Amazon sight unseen.

There are many things about this book that I like: the humor, the short chapters, the insightful recommendations, the example essays and the analysis of these essays from different perspectives. I can't say that ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple, To-The-Point, and Funny
My daughter is fifteen years old and scared to death of writing her SAT essay - even though people say she is an excellent writer! Tackling such an intimidating thing seemed a difficult task for her... but it turned out to be much easier than expected. This book gave simple, easy steps to slowly progress in writing and understanding of the SAT essay. 3 minutes a day gives plenty of tips on what to expect, what to avoid, how to prepare, and helpful ways to "up" your essay scores. If you are looking ... Read More
