Aiming for the Perfect Score
If you’re an academic high achiever and plan to attend any one of America’s very best colleges, this book was written especially for you. The authors skip past obvious test-taking strategies and focus your attention on the do’s and don’ts of smart test-taking. The purpose is to help you score 700 or above on all three sections of the new SAT—Critical Reading, Writing, and Math.
A score of 2100 or higher will set you apart from the crowd, placing you in the top 5% of high-achieving students throughout the country. That virtually guarantees your acceptance to the most prestigious and academically challenging colleges.
Here is that extra leg-up to help you get those scholarships and gain admission to the college of your choice.

Great
This is definitely my type of book. I am a fairly good test taker so this book dives right into the deep end instead of wasting time telling you no-brainers.
This book and Grubers are the best on the market
Reviewing many test prep books, especially SAT books I find that Barrons and Grubers are the best on the market. The price is there and the material is great.
So much Hype!
I didn't like the pre-2008 edition of this book for many reasons. First, it is replete with with "pep talk," which is time-consuming to read and irrelevant to mastering crucial SAT skills. Second, it is thin on substance, which is why the author has to use extra-large fonts to fill up the pages. The few strategies provided, branded for the "2400 Club," are nothing you can't find in other great SAT books, like the McGraw Hill books. Finally, with the pre-2008 edition, the organization of the lay-out is so messy that it is actually hard to follow. Which is why I'm glad I'd sold the book and, thanks to the hype, at a good price!
