Not that greatReview by Michael J Thoms, 2010-09-05
I have 4 younger brothers who all are either studying for or have taken the SAT in recent years. We've bought about 10 different books and dvd's. This is book they used the least and they say is the worst. Also, my brothers say stay away from the dvd's. It is a big book, doesn't teach much, very wordy, and goes on forever. Quaility not quantity. The two best books were Up Your Score and another called 2400.
Decent Study Guide
Review by Ridge, 2010-08-21
My main problem with this book is that it is from the test-maker. At first, I thought that would be a good reason to buy it. When I received it, I realized that was not so. I was expecting tips on how to recognize the tricks used and how to avoid them. After reading through the first few chapters, I was thoroughly disappointed. Then I realized, this book is published by the test maker. Why would the writers of the test want to provide a resource that teaches you their tricks and traps? The tips recommended in this guide are general test taking tips that you could find in any test prep book. I did not receive any enlightening information from them. The practice SATs are the component that pushed my rating up to a four. The practice tests are great for preparation, because they are exactly like the real thing. If you work through a few of these, you will know exactly what to expect come test day. Overall, I recommend this for the practice tests. Do not buy this if you are looking for guidance on avoiding test-maker traps. I would look elsewhere.

Review by The Math Professor, 2010-07-29
I love this book. I love the price. The GREAT thing is that if you go to Border's or B&N you get a sheet with all the errata that you have to worry about. My copies from Amazon already had the errate fixed! My only criticism is that - at times - I could have used some of the detailed explanations that you find in some of the other SAT prep books. The math questions are excellent.
A must for SAT high-scorer
Review by Minh Duc, 2010-07-29
This book is well-known for its real tests. Taking the practice tests in this "blue book" certainly familiarize yourself with the genuine SAT style from the official test-maker. Before considering other prep books, buy this first
