I needed to contact the seller to ensure that I was receiving the correct edition. The seller responded promptly, to ensure that it was the correct edition. Most importantly, the price charged was significantly cheaper than other sources. I believe I paid under $10.00, and it was posted in the $90.00 range from other sources! That is what prompted me to ensure that it was the same book with such a price swing! The book arrived promptly, and was it great condition (like new) just as described!

I purchased this for my son who is a HS sophomore, although I have used it more than he has.
It is very well organized and offers a lot of useful tips on the various types of questions. It explains why one answer is better than perhaps a similar one, which I found very helpful. There are a lot of practice questions and full-length practice tests as well. The book is broken up nicely into sections. In addition to the practice questions, it also provides useful test-taking tips.
It also provided guidance for the newest section on writing and good examples of the types of topics that will likely be provided. It gave good examples of a good essay, an okay essay and a poor essay, and provided specific pointers as to why one would be graded higher than another. I found this very valuable, since I thought some of the "okay" ones were pretty good - but it pointed out what was lacking.
I think that if I can get him to actually go through the book, it will be very helpful in preparing for the standardized exams in his future. I think the purchase price is very reasonable for what you get in this book, and it is an excellent value. I highly recommend it if you will be taking the SAT.

I purchased this book to help with math scores. I have taken the SAT before and was happy with my scores. Between this and The ACT prep guide. This one has much better information in math.

This is a very good book for practice SATs. They give you 10 practice tests and your score range. Tip: find the median score of your score range and that's your real score, it works. Loses 1 star b/c they don't explain answers, but a ton of practice questions. I took all the tests and questions in the sections without any other practice and raised my score from a 510 math 610 reading on the PSAT to a 600 Math 660 Reading on the actual SAT so it works!

Although the book has a good number of sample tests, it gives only answers to the items and no explanation of how that answer was derived. It is a good follow-up after the Princeton Review for the SAT where the correct answers on 3 practice exams are explained fully.

This guide was very helpful and easy to follow. Get it early, though. Buy it a good 3-6 months before the test so your student can take full advantage of it.
