  - Princeton Review=Not realisticI took the SAT in October and decided to take it again in May. The first time I took the test I used the College Board's "Official SAT Book." I found it to be very realistic and even more difficult than the real test - which I think is a good thing. The downside to the book was that when I ran into a problem I didn't know - I had to ask someone for help - because I was stuck on my own. As inconvenient as that was - I must say I was pleased when it came to test day. When I decided to take the test in May (and needed some refreshing) I decided to get the Princeton Review book that time - because of the explanation section it had in the back. I thought this would really alleviate the hassle and annoyance of being stuck on a problem with nothing to do to help me. Unfortunately, when it came test day I felt very astounded. I felt the questions on the REAL TEST were not nearly the same as the one's from the Princeton Review. They were much harder and even unaddressed in the book. I was pretty upset about the results. My recommendation: Go with the College Board book - it really is from the Test Makers - it really makes a difference. Rating:  - Lots of practice leads to substantial score improvementsThe best way for students to really learn effective test taking techniques and strategies is to do lots of practice. That's just what this book offers. With 10 complete SAT tests (the eleventh is a PSAT test), it contains more than enough practice test material for even the most dedicated student. Princeton Review has done a commendable job creating practice tests that closely mimic the actual SAT. Another useful feature is an explanation for every test question of why the correct answer is the best choice and what is wrong with the other choices. If you only want to buy one SAT book, this isn't it - so no 5 star rating. As a supplemental workbook for a class or a book on test strategies and techniques, it is ideal. (Note: I sometimes teach and tutor for Princeton Review.) Rating: - FAKE QUESTIONSThe practice tests in this book are NOT REAL. They are simulated. So who cares? Because the official SAT questions are DIFFERENT. This is like practicing mountain biking when you are going to go road biking. Buy the Official SAT Study Guide, then go buy the Official SAT Study Guide Solutions Manual. Rating:  - Good SAT prep textbookThe practice exercises in this book cover a wide range of contents that are found in real SAT test. However, it does repeat many contents found in previous editions. The PSAT section doesn't seem to be necessary to be included in this book. Rating: - Very Useful BookI do tutoring for SAT Math, and this book has really good practice tests. With so many tests in the same book, there is a lot of opportunity for practice! |
