the BEST review book for the SAT

This book is phenominal! I used it to prepare for the SAT back around 1995. This book helps you outsmart the exam, and I still recommend it to anyone who asks. Using this book, I aced the math section and did quite well on the verbal. I was accepted early into one of the top ivy league institutions, from which I graduated in 2000. This book is right on point with its tips and strategies, and manages to keep things interesting. Even now, I still remember the Evil Testing Serpent!

An EXTREMELY Helpful Book

I took the SAT in both 7th and 8th grade as part of a special academic program, I took practice tests both years, read the book both years and improved my score (over the practice) more than 100 points. This book has everything from how to fill in the answer bubbles quickest to how to solve specific math problems to what you should do the night before the test. There is humor in the book, some of it very funny, much of it only so-so (I can forgive them for that). Buy this book well in advance, because it takes a while to read; also, they have SAT-type words you should know, that they tell you how to remember - I didn't start reading far enough in advance to even attempt to learn them, but the book helped anyway. A must for anyone who wants to improve their score, be it from a 900 to a 1000, or a 1500 to a 1600.
