MOST PRACTICE FOR THE BUCK,
By Princess "sharkdiver" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barron's Sat I How to Prepare for the Sat I (Barron's How to Prepare for the Sat I (Book Only)) (Paperback)
As an SAT Verbal tutor for over 20 years, my book of choice is Barrons for several reasons. #1- More practice tests than any other book #2- harder than the real test, at least in verbal #3- excellent vocab cards in the back which also serve as a great core vocab for college #4- avoids the weird questions found in ARCO #5- maybe not as much explaining as Princeton or Kaplan, but TRIPLE the practice -- If you need the explanations, get a combo of the books #6- Follow this book up with the 10 REAL SAT'S and you will see that they are now a piece of cake!! #7- when the students that I coach use this book, they are assured of a verbal point gain anywhere from 100 to 210 points, depending on how much they put into it. There are other reasons for this book to be a master tutor's book of choice, but in the interest of not being too verbose, let me just say "TRY IT!!"

This is the best review book of any kind I ever used!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barron's Sat I How to Prepare for the Sat I (Barron's How to Prepare for the Sat I (Book Only)) (Paperback)
This book is incredible. I studied with it all spring and took the SAT I on May 1. My scores were 290 points higher than on my PSAT!!!The best part of the book are all the strategies for solving the math problems. Using them, I was able to answer at least 10 or 15 questions that I would have otherwise had to leave out.The practice tests are really good. They are just like the real thing, so doing them is really good practice. If anything, they are slightly harder, so the real one I took in May seemed easier.I would recommend this book to anyone high school student who will be taking the SAT I. My younger brother is in 9th grade and he just started to read it.

Excellent,
By Ryan Archer "JZ" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barron's Sat I How to Prepare for the Sat I (Barron's How to Prepare for the Sat I (Book Only)) (Paperback)
This book is great for studying for the SAT. It has some good tips and advice for you to boost your score. The practices are thorough and well written. After doing my SAT I felt pretty good. However, I did find that the Math sections in the real SAT were not nearly as difficult as they were in the book. But the Verbal sections in the book were not as difficult as the ones in the real SAT. So just be careful.
