Excellent guide.

This is an excellent guide to the new SAT. It provides you all the information you need to succeed. It gives you strategies that take advantage of the test structure. It also shows you how to best manage your time. It has four chapters dedicated to the math section. These include the basic math foundation you will need and strategies on how to save you time solving problems, as well as how to avoid all the math traps the SAT throws your way. This guide does also a thorough job to get you ready for the new essay section. The book provides four full-length SAT practice exams. Additionally, it gives you free access to many more online tests at Kaplan's website. Anyone who has the discipline to read and study a good part of this book (including the math sections) and do at least one of the book's practice exams is bound to do a lot better on the SAT then if they had not prepared for this exam. This book represents a huge savings of both time and money in effectively preparing for this test vs taking one of the numerous over hyped SAT preps courses for hundreds if not thousands of wasted dollars.

Superb

I think Kaplan has finnally got it! This book is GREAT! Let me give you the rundown... It starts off with the basics and moves into the essay. The essay stratagies and practice essays/examples are excellent. Then it moves to the multiple choice writting section where it has 15 most common identifying error errors and many improving sentences and paragraph errors/tips. After all this review, there are 74 questions for practice (and all the answers explained). Then it moves to the sentence completion where it breaks it down and gives you some usefull tips, then a TON of practice. Same for critical reading-47 questions and like 10 passages (short and long). For math, it goes over the basics and gives you a practice section (with explinations) and then goes over the andvanced topics with a practice section (with explinations). The errors have been FIXED!!!!!!! Then it goes into the math traps where it gives you 10 ETS favorite math traps and how to avoid them, followed by practice questions (some which are from past real sats). Then there are 4 practice tests with answer explinations and a review section with 100 needed math skills, vocab, roots, and a section on helping with stress. Plus online practice and review! This book is a must!
