SAT Review March 30, 2010

My son used this book and feels better prepared for his tests. He said that the way it was written it was far more engaging than some of the other materials that he had used. We will see how well it works in a few months!
 Its a good start March 21, 2010

Its simple to follow but just as boring as any other book in its class.
 Princeton Review: Scandalously Bad February 22, 2010
Jeffrey Segall

Usi is exactly right about the Princeton Review for the SAT. It's terrible. The exercises are not carefully developed or vetted, as they are in the College Board's Study Guide. The multiple choice exercises contain many errors and ambiguities and would never qualify for inclusion on the actual SAT. This is a book put out by business entrepreneurs, not by skilled teachers or academics. Anyone with an advanced degree in English will recognize that the Princeton Review is a scandalously poor SAT study guide. I sometimes wonder how Random House would have allowed this to be published.
 If you only buy one SAT prep book, buy this one February 13, 2010

I've been a private tutor preparing students for the SAT since 2003. While the best approach is to use several sources, and take authentic SAT tests that are released by ETS, if you're only going to buy one book this is the one to buy. The strategies in this book are the best I've seen.
If you already have a good test taking strategy and are just looking for something supplement, the College Board website has what you need to know for the math section, and the most painless way to build vocabulary is through SAT vocabulary books or online at the Logophile's Library.
Worked for my daughter! February 12, 2010

My daughter just got her SAT results; she made a 2390 out of 2400, and this was the book she used to prepare. She aced the ACT the same way (34 out of 36) using Princeton's ACT review book. We definitely recommend their test prep products.
