Customer Reviews

Save your money buy Rocket Review Revolution instead
Kaplan's essay tips were very general and not specific to the type of writing required on the new SAT I. The book does include prompts to practice writing SAT essays.

I also felt that the exercises for the math and verbal sections were not very instructive. I did not recommend it to my students.

Instead I recommended Rocket Review Revolution which actually shows you how to find the correct answers.

Good book
An awesome prep book for those who only want to raise their critical reading scores and writing scores. My SAT score shot up 130 points from using this book. Though, the math section isn't that great----from the practice test I took, the last question was one of the easiest math questions I've seen. Otherwise, this book was pretty straightforward and a good tool to prep for the SATs.

They didn't even do a once-over.
I spent more time correcting the material in this book than I did working on the exercises. The amount of typed errors in this book is appalling. One rather tame example: 19+15 does not equal 36, yet the answer key assumes so. In other instances, the typists forgot to superscript the exponents, so one doesn't know whether 2k means 2 times k or 2 raised to the k power. In every single chapter, nearly half of all the given questions had significant typos. I would not recommend this edition to anyone.

However, if you are an aspiring editor for math study books, then this is a must-have.
