Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The totally restructured SAT college entrance exam that became effective in 2005 includes an entirely new and very important Writing Test, which consists of two main parts. First is a 25-minute period during which students must write an essay on a given topic. Later, students must answer multiple-choice questions that test their skill in correcting poorly-written sentences, finding mistakes in grammar and usage, and correcting mistakes in the first-draft version of a student essay. This manual familiarizes students with all aspects of the SAT Writing Test and presents review chapters and questions with answers that are designed to hone test-takers' skills. Also included is a helpful overview of the Writing Test and details on how student essays are scored. This manual presents five writing tests. The first introduces students to the test's format and the following four are similar to the actual SAT writing test in length and question types. All tests have answers and explanations, and come with instructions on how students can convert their practice test score to the familiar SAT scale of 200-800.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Workbook!Buy it now!
I purchased this workbook because i got a 500 in my writing section of the SAT. It has some typos here and there but they are only blemishes to anyone who can read.

Be warned: this is A LOT of work. If you don't have at least a month an a half in advance to prepare for the SAT, don't buy this book. You won't get through it. On the other hand, if you prepare well this gem will improve your scores dramatically. There are rewards for every minute of studying that you do with this book. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT SERVICE
I placed this order for my nephew is overseas and it reached the base in a timely fashion.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Probably the best of the SAT workbooks
We provide this to our tutors (In-Home Tutors of Atlanta, In-Home Tutors of Orlando) to help prepare students for the SAT. This is at their recommendation, although some prefer the official CollegeBoard blue book. Lots of practice material and rational strategies and hints. It's a good price through Amazon too.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Resource
This book is wonderful! I had been using it at the SAT prep center where I work and finally broke down and bought my own copy. I use everything in it...the grammar review exercises, the sample essays with scoring, the practice tests. The questions are challenging and follow the SAT format closely. My students have never had complaints about the work from this book. The answer explanations are also easy to comprehend. Excellent!
