Customer Reviews

Great review material, but tests could be better...

The best way to do well on the SAT is to, well, practice. But if your fundamentals are lacking, then its behooves you to learn the basics. This book's review material is great! It goes over all the math you need to do well on the SAT (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, word problems, etc.) and gives you a fair amount of practice. The writing section is excellent -- it gives you all the grammar rules AND a list of idiomatic prepositions. The reading section is as good as it can be (it's very difficult to "teach" reading) and the vocabulary list is great. However, the practice tests in here are nothing like the real thing. The math is far too easy and less focused on "trickery" than it is on straight mathematics. The writing questions were dead on for the most part, but the reading questions were...meh. The sentence completions tested too difficult vocabulary and the reading comprehension was too basic. I'd give this a 4/5 because of the practice tests. Now if you pair it with the college board's book with 8 tests (the "blue book"), then you should be all set. But as a standalone prep book, it needs better tests. I scored a 2340 on the actual exam and use these books to tutor my students (friends).

Great Study Guide

This is the book I use with all my PSAT and SAT students. It provides a great overview of the test, teaches the Kaplan test-taking strategies, and supplies the student with several full-length tests so he/she can practice his/her new skills.

Kaplan SAT 2008

Product pricing & shipping price great. Shipping took a little longer than I thought but everything turned out great.

Excellent book - good strategies and practice tests

This is an abridged review from CEEAE dot org: If you are seeking a single book for SAT preparation this may be it. 4 good practice tests, though they could be more accurate. This is one of the best SAT preparation books out there. Other comparable books include Princeton Review's Cracking the SAT, 2007 Edition and McGraw-Hills SAT I, Second edition. The main strength of this book is that the material is presented in an easy to understand format. We also liked the repetitive review provided by the book. Some sections, however, were a bit deficient in the strategies and content provided. Finally, the main difference between the Comprehensive and the Premier Programs is that the Premier Program comes with a CD that contains 5 tests and provides access to monthly additions and mobile software.
