WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!

I reiterate my appreciation for McGraw Hill's SAT (and PSAT) prep books! My daughter used McGraw Hill's PSAT workbook to prep for her junior PSAT and the results were great! During the last winter break, she used McGraw Hill's SAT (and a couple of other books) to prep for the January 2009 SAT Reasoning Test. It was her first try and the results were similarly successful. She finds McGraw Hill's Writing Skills section superior to other prep books in that it categorizes SAT grammar into 15 user-friendly units, illustrating each rule with easy-to-understand examples, and reinforced with lots of practice exercises. Its CR section is based on a similar format, thus making its vocabulary lists easy to learn. Its math review is also good, but you may want to use a couple more specialized math workbooks (e.g. Barron's, Greenhall) for extra reinforcement. Just as invaluable are the authors'suggested SAT review schedule, insights and no-nonsense advice to prod you through an otherwise arduous SAT prep. With relentless practice with this book and a couple of others (College Board, Princeton), my daughter got perfect scores (800) in both CR and Writing, and near perfect score in Math. Not only did this book give her the time flexibility to prep for SAT at her own pace (amid a hectic midterm schedule), it also saved paying for SAT prep courses!

Stellar

Kaplan's 2008 PSAT prep book is amazing, besides a few line errors everything about this book is good. My son recently received a 240 (perfect score) after reading this book. There's an excellent grammar section plus a diagnostic test in the beginning.Highly recommended.

A well done study guide.

I have recently purchased "Cracking the SAT" by Princeton Review as well as the "The Official SAT Study Guide" by The College Board. I have also been studying for the last few months for the October SAT. I love "Cracking the SAT" for explaining all the answers for the three tests it has to offer also the techniques it talks about to get to your answer faster [math] or easier are definitely tried and true . :) While the College Board book had more tests it also fails to go over the answers so if you get a question wrong and you don't know how to solve it your self, you are flat out of luck. Overall make sure to use several different sources when trying to study for the SAT, this way you are exposed to more and will probably do better. I would definitely recommend this book to my little brothers and sister as well as you shoppers. Good luck.

A comprehensive resource

I was looking for guidance in what I can do to help prevent breast cancer, beyond the basic list of low fat diet, eating broccoli, exercising and avoiding alcohol. This book is an outstanding, comprehensive resource from a naturopathic standpoint. It goes into great detail on explaining hormones, estrogen's role in the cancer process, how chemicals and toxins in our environment contribute to the increase of breast cancer, what role the liver plays in detoxifying our body and how we can support the liver. The author also gives explicit recommendations on diet and supplements, what they do and how much to take, plus nontoxic alternatives to household cleaning products etc. Breast cancer prevention involves your whole lifestyle and some of the changes may be hard, but the benefits to overall health and our immune system can be enormous. You may not be able to make all the changes at once, but I for one am working on them. This book was written several years ago before the recent studies on the benefits of Vitamin D in breast cancer prevention. The author minimizes the importance of Vitamin D, which is the only real negative of the book, in my opinion. Actually, I would have also liked if she had gone into greater detail on thermography as an adjunct or alternative to mammography. This book is also helpful for women who have cancer, to help them support their bodies through treatment and to help prevent recurrences.

For review, not for learning.

This book should only be bought if the person planning to use it has already taken Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 (and Pre-calculus if the person wants to take Level 2). The reason being is that it does not TEACH the topics one needs to know, only reviews them. You will have a very difficult time with this book if you haven't taken the courses mentioned before.

Also, I have found some errors in the book, but not too many.

That being said, if you simply want to brush up on the topics that you already know, I highly recommend this book; it is very organized and concise. However, if you haven't taken one or more of the above courses, I would recommed picking up something more comprehensive.

finally!

This book truly helped me. I am now a sophomore at the University of Georgetown and this book's techniques, from breathing to skipping and coming back, helped me have the confidence and knowledge I needed to do well on the SATs. This book allowed me to see the test for what it was and find the best way to use my mind to conquer it. I owe a lot to these authors and highly reccomend it.

Overall helpful book

After using this book in hopes of being able to tackle the "level 4" and "level 5" questions on the SAT I Verbal section I was not very impressed with the level of difficulty the Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook provided. Most of the questions in the analogy and sentence completion section are the lower level questions on the SAT I Verbal. It is quite common for the last questions in the SAT I Verbal section to have very difficult vocabulary. However, in the Kaplan's SAT I Verbal Workbook, you will find questions that are labeled by CollegeBoard with a difficulty rating of somewhere around three, sometimes four, and very rarely, five. On the other hand, this book provides a very good set of problems in the Critical Reading Sections. In addition to an accurate model of the actual exam (to some extent), the answer explanations are very clear compared to other prep books. Overall, I would give this a 4 out of 5 because, while it does prepare you well for the SAT I Verbal, if the person using this book was only to use this book, he would discover on the SAT I that the analogies that are level 4 and 5 will be rather difficult for him.

I am aware that there is a vocabulary section in the book, however, a large part of practicing analogies and sentence completion is getting used to using difficult vocabulary words in actual problems

Product Description

This is the only book available offering students detailed solutions to the past official SAT tests found in the Educational Testing Service (ETS) book, "10 Real SATs". This companion guide is the only source for detailed explanations of the Maths Section's answers that are found in the official ETS SAT book. The ETS book offers only the solution, with no explanation of how to get those answers. What good is the official SAT book if you don't know how to work out the correct solutions that it provides? Unless you are already a math genius, it will only further confuse and frustrate you. This book is the essential book, providing step-by-step explanations and answers that will enhance reader's chances for 'killer scores' on the SAT Maths section. Also included is a section on test-taking tactics and strategies to maximise your score.
