Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Tons of practice
I am a full-time tutor and have several of my students use this book. As with any test prep book not published by the College Board, there a couple of questionable questions. The answers and explanations sections are fair; I have not found a book that offers very good commentary on answer choices. The explanations still give a student the chance to work independently.
Some questions are modeled after the College Board book's while others are not.
Overall, Kaplan 12 is valuable, ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - just dont buy this
1.)some of the answers do not match with the explainations
2.)overly repetitive
3.) Most of the reading composition topics are the same as the blue book. They just changed some of the words.
4.) Why buy this when you can get the real thing at collegeboard.com




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Solid practice marred by recycled questions and grammatical errors
I bought this book solely because it was the only book that offered the most number of practice tests for the SAT Reasoning Test.

However, I have to say that the vocabulary questions of the critical reading section are much easier than that of the real exam. The maths section is also not comprehensive enough as there seems to be a lack of polynomials and graph-transformation questions.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Valuable additional practice, marred by multiple mistake
This book is likely the best buy currently on the market to complement the Collegeboard's Official SAT Study Guide.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A book filled tons of mistakes.
I am a student, practicing independently for the SAT. I bought this book because it had decent reviews on amazon. I have to say that this book has some terrible mistakes that can't be even called typos. I took only the first practice test, and I akready discovered grammatical errors on the verbal and writing sectios that are supposed to test on the same mistakes! Some of the answers are poorly explained and some reading passages do not (at all) adhere to the real SAT format- questioons on these passages ... Read More
