 Rating:  - Moneys WorthI purchased this book, and trust me its worth every dollar spent on it. It is well informed, easy to understand and i am very positive that with this books help i will clear the SAT with the high expectations I have. Rating: - Excellent strategies, but hard testsI work for a tutoring company. With my employer's permission, I use this book after my students have exhausted all of my company's prep materials. This is an excellent book for SAT tutors; a average-to-good book for students using this book as their sole source of preparation; an excellent book when used in conjunction with the SAT exams published by the College Board.

The math problem explanations can be used independently without the resource teacher's assistance. Now that ... Read More Rating: - Excellent book. I found it very helpful.It shows me many strategies that I did not know before, and you can apply some of those strategies not only to the SAT but many other tests or normal daily practices. It does have some few typos but one can easily recognize what the word is originally. The Math Refresher and the Grammar Refresher are particularly important because they show you what you're supposed to know by the test and maybe even by college.
