I ve been teaching the SAT for one of the major international companies for 6 years and also have my private tutoring business I already had quite a lot of SAT books of various quality and decided to try this one
Sadly I discovered it to be pretty much a waste of money The advice given is often silly obvious tips written in a supposedly humorous style that became very wearing after the first few pages The sample questions provided are of the too simple not likely to see this in the real SAT type or not representative
There are a lot better books than this one out there Start with the official guide and use it for all practice questions If you need more tuition then try Kaplan for a general course or for math I like the McGraw Hill textbook
>> His Favorite
For our son He enjoyed reading it He felt it was written by and for students
>> This book was awesome
I used the 1999 version of this book back when I took the SAT test I suppose I should be reviewing that version but I am going to review this one instead so people who are considering buying it know what a valuable tool it is A combination of my shoddy high school and my lack of effort made me ill prepared for the SAT I spent about two months using this guide and did much better than most of my peers This is just from going over the vocabulary and English portion I didn t even read the math portion If I had done so I probably would have done even better The book is entertaining and contained some very useful strategies for memorizing boring things I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about taking the SAT test
