Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best SAT Prep Book
This book was recommended for SAT prep on [...] and I was not disappointed. The book was really helpful, and it was far better than other books out there because it teaches critical thinking strategies that you can apply to several answers, instead of using rote memorization. The pretest is really helpful and saved me countless hours of studying what I already know. I would definitely recommend this book for everyone.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not worth the money.
I admit that I am not the best math student, but I think the math tests in this book are too hard and the explanations are not clear enough. The fact that the tests are harder than the real SAT's tests is not bad in and of itself, but sometimes the questions are so difficult that I just end up skipping entire sections out of frustration.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Gruber's SAT 13th edition nearly identical to the 10th edition though
All previous reviews to previous editions of Gruber's SAT pertain to the Gruber's Complete SAT Guide 2010 13th Edition only because the Gruber's 13th edition is nearly identical to Gruber's 10th edition.

Closely comparing the 10th edition to that of Gruber's 13th edition I came across the following differences;

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book, but my son found mistake
Book is great for testing strategy and quality of tests. Just wanted to share one mistake that my son found in this book (he is 12 so he couldn't write this review) - Math, test 4, Section 8, Task 13 - right answer is A, they wrote 8x+ky=19 in answer instead of 8x-ky=19 as in task itself.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is THE BEST SAT Prep book...
By using this book alone and this book alone, our daughter raised her SAT score by 330 points from the first time she took the test! AMAZING!!!
