 Excellent resource for the new SAT! February 10, 2005
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
Having taught SAT prep for years and years, I can say that this is an excellent book. I have been through pretty much every inch of it, and can wholeheartedly rate it a 5.
There are lots of books on the market, and it's confusing for people to know what to pick up. This is from the College Board, which oversees the SAT, so it's for real!
 The College Board Scamming You Again May 1, 2005
7 out of 14 found this review helpful
I think anyone can see that their is a huge market for SAT studying, courses, etc... The college board hounds you with programs to teach you about their test and this book is no different. Even in the book it has coupons for its online courses. If this book is so good, then why would you need any more help, especially form the same author?
Basically it breaks down to:
Pro's: lots of practice (but not a whole lot more then others), written by test makers
Con's: Boring to read compared to my other SAT book (Princeton Review), no test taking strategies that aren't common sense

This book was required by an SAT tutoring service for a course. We are pleased with both the book and the course. The book provides an excellent amount of practice.

The Only Useful Things In This Book Are The Practice Questions July 11, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this book and was greatly disappointed. The test-taking strategies in this book are only good enough to score an average score (1500-1600 out of 2400). Some of the tips are things that you've heard a thousand times before for not only the SAT but other standardized tests: "Eat a good breakfast the day of the test," "Get a good night's sleep," "Use process of elimination if you don't know the answer," "Answer the easiest questions first." If you're looking to score above a 2000 I would highly recommend only using the practice tests in this book and using another better book like the Princeton one to actually learn how to significantly improve your score.
