Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The 2007 edition of Barron’s SAT test preparation manual with enclosed CD-ROM presents one diagnostic test and six full-length practice SATs, all of which reflect the new SAT in length, question types, and degree of difficulty. The CD-ROM reproduces all of the manual’s tests so that they can be taken and scored automatically on a home computer. Both the manual and the CD-ROM offer an overview of the SAT and its scoring method, and then present extensive subject reviews in critical reading, grammar and usage, and math. They also offer detailed guidance for preparing and composing the test’s required student-written essay. In addition to the full-length practice tests, all of the manual’s extra practice and review questions are presented on the CD-ROM with automatic scoring. College-bound students will find that Barron’s all-new combination SAT manual with CD-ROM is true state-of-the-art preparation for one of the most important tests that they will ever take.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ok book, but better books are readily available
The following is an abridged review of one found on CEEAE dot org:

Although most of the glaring errors found in the previous edition (Barron's How to Prepare for the New SAT) have been rectified, this book is only marginally recommendable.

Anyone well versed in SAT preparation will first note that practice tests in this book are not very SAT-like. The SAT features some very convoluted questions. While the material tested on the SAT is not that difficult, the questions are difficult ... Read More
