A deep, thought-provoking study of the nature of man

This is the most important book I've read so far this decade. The author Thomas Keneally writes extremely well and even if you know quite a bit about the Holocaust, you will learn more as a result of reading this book. Characters of all varieties are brought to life here and force you to consider ethical principles and the nature of human behavior.

I watched only part of the movie of this book as it made me nauseous. For those who may have avoided the movie for similar reasons, I can highly recommend the book. You can read it slowly, taking in all the historical facts, and though the brutality is described, you do not have to witness it with your eyes. It is still difficult but leads you more to an interior exploration of your own ethics and opinions about society.

One of the important aspects of the book is that Schindler was no angel. He had many character flaws. But he attempted to save as many victims of the Nazis as he could despite the danger. Therefore, the book though depicting the worst kind of brutality can give us hope. I urge you to read this book.

Vocabulary and SAT go manu et manu.

A superior vocabulary can make all the difference between a great SAT score and a disappointing score. The SAT candidate will come across challenging vocabulary in the readings, in the answer choices, and in the sentence completion activities."In-A-Flash" provides extensive practice for over 360 frequently tested words with a variety of activities such as - sentence completions, matching, multiple choice definitions, and analogies. This book can be very helpful if the reader/student is conscientious.

Like many other books of this nature the word groups are bunched by theme. Some groups consist of verbs, oppostites, positives, negatives, or common roots.

Things I wish were included:
Pre and post tests
More intensive review and drill of roots and prefixes.
Sentence completion activities using the SAT format.

I don't particularly care for the inclusion of analogy practices in the book.

Don't get your hopes up about the three minute magic touted in the Amazon promo. The three minute drill is not for three days, but for three months.

I'd say this is a worthwhile book and an excellent supplement.

Biology SAT II

The first two tests in the book are very helpful when it comes to preparing for the SAT II. They are the closest to the actual test (but slightly easier). The problem with the last three tests is the presence of bad questions, where the answer choices don't make any sense, or the book gives you the wrong answer in their answer chart. I would recommend buying this book just because the practice tests are close to the actual test.

Terrible.

I already forementioned the order was misplaced, and I received the wrong book. I received an SAT Test on Biology - not physics. I don't think it should be expected to have a good review written until this has been rectified. The seller didn't reply, nor did Amazon with my concern.

Rock the Test- Revised & Updated 3rd Ed is the only solutions manual on the market that gives the solutions to all 8 official practice tests from The College Board's Official SAT Study Guide. Rock the Test includes math, critical reading and writing solutions to help students using the College Board's guide. The authors have been using this companion volume to improve their students' SAT scores by an average of 240 points. The College Board's Official SAT Study Guide far outsells every other SAT Prep guide because it's the only program that has questions supplied by the makers of the SAT (The College Board). The College Board's Official SAT Study Guide contains all the best questions and answers to the SAT, but it doesn't explain how to get to the answers. Rock the Test is the perfect companion to The College Board's Official SAT Study Guide, providing the user useful in-depth insight.

If you're not a "math person," beware this SAT prep

Do not buy this book if your student and/or you is not a "math person." While this book does contain an answer key, it does NOT show how the problems are worked. Students aren't able to ascertain why or how they missed a particular problem, which makes it valueless as a teaching tool.

I am very disappointed with this product. It is a small book with a relatively high cost and it only does half the job. It would have been a better buy to spend more money on an SAT prep book that demonstrated how the problems were solved so that the student could actually learn from his/her mistakes.

I gave this a one-star rating only because Amazon's format doesn't accept zero stars.
