Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Helped some
If I had studied this book like I should have, it would have helped a lot more than it did. It's a really good guide. I do recommened it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting..., and a Good Value.
I found this book laying around in the library and decided to pick it up, even though it's outdated, I still thought it would give tips for the reading and math sections. It did that and in addition, it made some good jokes worthy of a real laugh. A quick and enjoyable read, it may not be for people who really wanna get serious and straight into studying the SAT. If you want to use your time to the best of your advantage, you should just go ahead and do SAT problems on your own, but this book is basically the talk part of it (it instructs you to practice on your own using a book written by the collegeboard). Nonetheless, i still had a good time reading this book and i liked it, so read it at on your own time and at your own risk. It does include a good 600 word vocab section that suggests how to remember each individual word, and I found that pretty valuable since a side vocabulary book would cost around the same price.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome book!
This book is a great book even if just by humor's standards. I did not want to put this book down. Anybody who's read an SAT study book before knows that is rare.

Witty, informative, and not too long. I recommend buying this book and 10 Real SAT's. Then if you really want to go the extra mile pick up Barron's How to Prepare for the SAT 1. It's really long but super informative with flash cards and everything.

Buy this book!




Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - you will do well; trust me.
If you are reading this review, you don't need this book. You already have what it offers-motivation. If you care enough about the SAT to read reviews of the best practice books, you will do well; trust me. This book is for students who need a push to prepare. While not a bad book for its purpose, it spends too much time motivating, and not enough time teaching. There are relatively few practice exercises, and the answers are too basic for motivated students. Instead, I recommend buying Cracking the New SAT 2005 from the Princeton Review. It has three complete tests, and the main text provides excellent strategies for attacking questions in math, verbal and writing. With time and practice, you will definitely do very well on the SAT.





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great book
This is an excellent SAT prep book. One of the former co-authors, Joe Jewell,has now opened up his own SAT prep company called PrepMe.com - seems like his strategies are really popular. Good luck to everyone. Make sure to be positive!
