Customer Reviews

For me, it was better than Barrons & Princeton Review...

The reading in McGraw Hill's 12 SAT Practice Tests was really helpful since the answers give not only the reason why one was wrong, but also, the meanings of the vocabulary words in short concise synonyms for easy memorization. Ever wondered, what does that word mean in a reading question? McGraw Hill's 12 Sat Practice Tests explains it clearly! --something that other books don't offer. I think this is a great book, in which a potential SAT student can reap great rewards! Good luck on the SAT's guys~

Practice Heaven

McGraw Hill is great for critical reading and writing. I did not notice any typos, and the 12 practice tests are enough for any ambitious teenager (I only completed 4). The font is different from the actual SAT, and that always bothered me. However, I always thought the math was too easy or worded strangely. I preferred either Princeton Review or Barron's Math workbook to prepare for the math portion. I believe that SAT preparation requires a cocktail of different prep books, so one can do sections according to current skill level.

A Great Way to Prepare for the Ordeal that is the SAT

This is a great book with very few if any typos. For anyone that is looking for practice before taking the actual test, this is the book to get. The answers are well designed, the explanations are clear, and its an economical buy. My only criticism is that the sat converter that comes with the book is too lenient. I'm relatively certain that one cannot get a perfect score on the writing section with more than 3 questions wrong.
