Customer Reviews

wonderful
this is the least boring study guide i've found so far. you still have to work and at times the work is still tedious, but the book tries to review most concept in easy terms. i rcommend it for everyone!

Score Booster
After taking the SAT once, I decided I needed to prepare better for the second time around. This book raised my score by over 100 points. While it doesn't necessarily provide study material, it provides strategies to go about taking standardized tests particularly the SAT's. This book changed my life and I would suggest it as a supplement to other SAT prep books for someone looking to drastically raise their score.

I LOVED IT!!!!
I took my SATs about 4 years ago. The first time I took them, I did fine but not good enough. After that I bought this book and it helped me get 200 points higher! The vocabulary list is amazing and so funny! I still remember some of the comics and sentences from the vocabulary section and they still make me laugh. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that doesn't want to just take practice tests over and over again.
