Remarkably easy compared to the real test. . .
I am the director of a tutoring program in Boston. Kaplan SATs can be so much easier than the real thing that I sometimes to use them to help my eighth graders prepare for high school entrance exams.
Instead of this book, buy:
1) the College Board book of real, previously administered exams (the so-called Blue Book), then
2) the more recent Princeton Review book of 11 Practice Exams.
The old College Board book, 10 Real SATs, was also great, although it did not include the writing section and the reading section was different. Still, if you are struggling with the Math section or the long Reading passages, I would buy that book even before the Princeton book. And I would buy all of those books before this one.
Pretty bad.
The tests in this book are nothing like the real SAT. Don't waste your hard earned money on these and go buy the official SAT study guide with tests made by the ETS.
Mistake on second question!
I don't own this book; all I did was look at a random page on amazon. And wouldn't you know it - the second question I saw had a mistake that made it unsolvable. Specifically test 5, section 5, question 13, it read "In constand ~demand as~ a pianist, David ~had never been~ ~more richer~ than ~he is~ now". While the "correct" answer is "more richer", the verb "is" in the end doesn't agree with the "had" earlier in the sentence. Yet in the answer they make no mention of the second mistake.
I remind you this is the second question I looked at. A little probability should tell you how lousy this book is.
