Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good study material for preparing SAT I
I used the mathematics portion of this book for my SAT prep class students. It is pretty good even with detail solutions. However, it did have a few mistakes due to typo errors. Overall, it is a good study material for SAT I.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Satisfactory

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good for extra practice exercises
This book has many practice exercises that are hard enough to be good prep for the test.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Books are brand new and very good shipping
The 16 books are coming in three different times (in a week). they are very new as promised. Shipping is very good without any damage!

I like to do business with this one!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Barron Test Preparation
I have prepared students for the PSAT, SAT, ACT and have used Barron preparation all the way back to the 1980s. I use various other manuals and software, but my students tell me that the Barron is the quality preparation they need. It is more difficult than many of the resources and better enables them to score well. There is abundant testing material, answers well explained, the built-in flash cards, dictionary of vocabulary likely seen on the actual test, and available useer friendly software with ...
