 - No change in the scoreI bought this for my daughter after she received identical scores on two SAT tests. She read this book, did the exercises and guess what? Her third SAT still had the same identical score. She quit SAT's after that. Rating:  - A good bookI think this is a good book for you to prepare for the SAT. The Critical Reading section is good. However, you need to be good at Math to master the Math section in this book because this section is pretty hard and has few tips for you. Rating:  - Great!So, after scoring a 2040 on the SAT as a sophomore, I was looking for ways to ante up my skills. Barron's 2400 had what someone like me, who knows how to take standardized tests, needs -- practice with the hardest level of questions. This book is useful, but you need to couple it with a bunch of practice tests to test out your newfound skills and strategies (I recommend the official SAT book) in order to maximize your score. So if you read all the strategies in the book, take lots of practice exams while applying the techniques you've learned, you'll probably raise your score significantly. This strategy worked for me, and it can probably work for you, too! I got a 2340 on my second try : ) Rating: - Great HelpI bought this for my daughter after she already received 99% on ACT and was preparing for SAT. After the test, she said that this book was most helpful of any other source she used. Rating: - My BEST Books for College Students...This certainly ranks up there. My other choices for 2007, hands down: 1) How To Ace Your Way Through College & Still Have a Life 2) The MLA Handbook 3) Fiske Guide to Colleges Dr. Vernon M Cambridge, MA In association with Amazon.com | |
