Summary: Very good Math resource
Review: This book is meant for the high-scorers. The Math section (Problem Solving, Quantitative Comparison, and Grid-in) is very useful. The same cannot be said for the Verbal section however.

Summary: I raised 110 points
Review: This book is really well organized. The first half is English divided into Chapters like the actual SAT is divided. The second half is Math and has a chapter on Arithmetic and Algebra, Geometry, then Tough Word Questions. The section on Analogies had great strategies, especially for those who struggle (like me). The highlighted strategies are useless (Things like "A 1600 Test-taker answers all of the questions"-duh), but the actual content is great. Chapter has a reveiw of that part of the SAT.If you buy this book, make sure you have a couple weeks to read the book and do the excercises (each takes 10-20 minutes). Use this to improve your score from a previous test or first buy "10 Real SATs" and take one of those tests (in fact buy that anyway-it is the SAT BIBLE). I also recommend a set of SAT vocab cards.

Summary: Extremely helpful for those tired of
Review: This book only focuses on the worst of the worst, meaning that no time is spent reviewing elementary algebra or ...guessing strategies like in other books. I found it extremely helpful, as it reviewed most of the common slipfalls for high test-takers and strategies for avoiding them, and also contained a slew of pratice questions at the end of each chapter. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you can ace this stuff, you'll be pleasantly surprised on test day. Works best with 10 Real SATs. Addition: I just got back my June, 2003 SAT score. It increased 90 points from 1510 to 1600.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This book was great. Basicly, there is a profusion of SAT prep boks out there - Barron's, Kaplan,Princeton Review,etc....this book is the perfect amalgam of the important concepts. It says that it has the harder questions, and by comparison, it truly does. Along with 10 real SATs, this book will give you more practice and great shortcuts in order for you to improve your score. There are so many prep books out there, but this one stands out. Great book with the original, amazing Kaplan approach.

Summary: Great Book Great for verbal
Review: This book was very good I read through it the day before the sat's and I got a 1430. However this book should not be used alone. It is best to supplement it with 10 real sat's. Go through a few tests and read this book. This book was extremely helpfull with analogies and critical reading. It helps you see the tricks that are in the sat's. Even if you dont know words, this book will help you easily and corectly recognize speciously correct answers as wrong

Summary: Not just for the college-bound
Review: You might think the SAT is only useful to get into college. Well, let me tell you, you never know when someone might ask you out of the blue to compute the surface area of a rhombus or suddenly blurt out at a party, "consanguineous is to salacious as connubiality is to (blank)." If you don't know the correct answer (West Virginia), well then, you're gonna miss out on life's successes, aren't you? Buy this book. If you study its teachings and wisdom, you can have the power of five giant mecha-robots to achieve your dream.
