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.
Purchased for my son. He is using this item and is very satisfied with the book.
Although it is not fun to do the book it will be worth while. This is the most trusted brand for college preparation. Collegeboard has never failed serving millions of high school students with the materials they need. I know it will later on help to accomplish what I want to be when I am older. This product will help with anyone preparing for the SAT.
I only took 4 of the practice tests and ended up with an 800 on the Critical Reading, 740 on the Math, and 730 in Writing (that only amounted to 5 questions wrong total out of 170, no questions skipped). There is no better way to learn these things than practicing with questions written by the people who make the real test.
What you need to do is get this book and take the practice tests; in fact, that's all you need to do. I purchased a number of other books to prepare for the test, but ultimately found them all pretty worthless.
Doing well is knowing the test, understanding how to manage your time, recognizing your errors, and gaining a general intuition in terms of the ways the test will attempt to trick you or lead you away from the correct answer. The SAT is not about being smart or skilled in the content.
The test is simple once you understand it. By the time you're done, correct answers will leap out at you, and you'll be extremely comfortable on the big day, knowing exactly what to expect.
No classes, hardly any other practice, just a couple of Sundays set aside.
This is the best book to use in preparation for the SAT. I own an SAT tutoring company and I only use this book. I skip the tips and go right to all the practice tests. They are very realistic; not too hard and not too easy.
