Between us, we have scored perfectly over 200 times(!). Think about that. Right now, only about one in 4000 score 1600 ( about 700 out of 2.8 million test-takers). When the Editor-in-Chief first scored 1600, long before "re-centering", it was more like one in 100,000! We think this is significant. In our learning centers, students often come to us having already achieved a top 1% score (1450+). We are able to help such talented students substantially because we can tell them from experience how to make the difficult climb toward a 1600. While only 2 or 3 of our students actually achieve a 1600 each year, many do score in the 1500+ range, and receive acceptance into such schools as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, Stanford, etc. This is not a high-tech book. The SAT is a test of basics and fundamentals. By my own choice, I have made many of the comments and corrections by hand, rather than by machine. I think this makes the book more real and readable. While this is an expensive work, its cost is less than the cost of a half hour Private Tutoring with Prof. Fikar. In return you will be provided with material to enrich you for hundreds of hours. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing Book!I was able to use this book to go from a 1270 PSAT to a 1480 SAT on May 1. I will try to break 1500 in June. This book is not entertaining or breezy, like Kaplan and Princeton Review.It is even overly difficult in some sections. But anyone who can master this book HAS to go up in the SAT. Some parts were so hard my $50 an hour Tutor was temporarily stumped! I really had to bite the bullet to pay for this book, but it was worth it. Rating:  - Buyer bewareIs any prep book really worth $399.99 list? Moved by curiosity, I ordered a copy several months ago from an online bookseller. After reviewing it carefully, I returned it for a refund. Here's why I disagree with the two uncritical (and suspiciously official-sounding) reviews already posted: (1) When I first opened the book, I thought they'd sent me a used copy by mistake and that someone had scribbled inside it. But I was wrong. As sometimes happens with books about to go to press, ... Read More Rating: - The Best, by far!!!This book is the worlds first ever SAT Encyclopedia! It was exciting just to open the book and see all the perfect 1600 scores achieved by the Editor, Dr. Fikar. Many books are filled with trite tips and tricks, but this book has true substance, and zero fluff. Highly recommeded!!!!! Rating: - Great SAT preparation textIf an SAT book deserves to be apotheosized, this is the one. Vocabulary words are placed in Continuums to allow easy differentiation among small differences in shades or degrees of meaning. Plenty of fully explained verbal practice examples are provided. Mathematical formulas are presented along with examples of their appropriate use. No matter how well prepared the student may be, this book is bound to present new and additional information that may very well lead to significant SAT score enhancement. ...
