 - Good, solid study guideI bought this book for my daughter. It is easy to navigate, well laid-out, and fairly clear and precise in its presentation. Rating:  - Excellent Guide!This is an excellent guide for the SAT! The content is thorough and very helpful. Rating:  - Official book but needs better strategiesI thought this is a straight forward book. It provides lots of examples but it is hard to sometimes learn from each questions (students I find keep making the same mistakes over and over). Also, from the test maker I would like to see some more free material since they are making lots of money off of each student that takes the exam. If you are going to pay for a book, check out rocket revolution or Gruber's book for great material. Rating: - NOT reccomended for SAT studying.This book, obviously, is massive. I personally did not find almost anything in the whole of the book, very helpful. It is so wordy and vague at parts that it is very easy to lose interest. I highly suggest one of the test prep companies SAT books. I have ones from Kaplan and Barron's and they are much, much more helpful, and are more to the point. Rating: - a handy bookAt first I honestly didn't want this book AT ALL! but my parents thought that I should use it to get me prepared for the SATs. I went through it and it really helped, it told me what the questions would be like and what to expect. It was pretty useful to me but what works for me doesn't neccessarily work for everyone else.
