2.0 out of 5 stars Has some good ideas for the SAT but save your money, November 6, 2007
This review is from: CliffsTestPrep The NEW SAT, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This book contains several useful points about the SAT I essay. Useful exercises to teach you how to generate ideas for essays are on pages 92-94. And an exercise to teach you how to create an opening paragraph is on page 94. I would rate this book with 2.5 stars if I could because it was somewhat useful.
