Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply Amazing...
i wouldn't have thought this book would do me such good. It explained everything in details and gave extremely helpful tips for taking the SAT. i just took it today and it seemed very easy from the learning process of this book. Very thorough in explaining. It is definitely a must have if you're about to take the SAT.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LovesToRead
A very helpful book. Gives the student tools that are helpful to improve the knowledge needed to do well on the SAT.

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 - Good for extra practice exercises
This book has many practice exercises that are hard enough to be good prep for the test.

It's major flaw is the lack of explanation for why a given answer is correct.

If you need a book that explains how to arrive at the correct answers I suggest buying Rocket Review as the book actually teaches you basic principles that explain how the test works and how to beat it.
