Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

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!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good, but watch out for the practice exams!

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.

This book teaches critical thinking strategies which are essential for not only the SAT, but other examinations ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Help!
This book, hands down, is the SAT help book available! It seems to be a little unknown secret, as most buy Barron's or the blue College Board book.

The math section is a great help. It shows great shortcuts, and ways to approach the "trick" problems. Though with that said, you still have to know Algebra, as it is not an Algebra help book. It just explains time saving tricks to use while taking the SAT.

The CR and writing sections are also better than other books.

Overall, ... Read More
