As I said it depends on who you are and how strong you are in Frnech. If you're doing the listening test, well this book in not for you, but if you're just doing the reading test, I would recommend it as a revision of the basics. For International students, I would take lessons, and check out other books and try some practice tests to know what you still have to work on.

i agree with the review above. i wouldn't recommend this book. you gain far more practice with the barron's book, plus there's a disk & you can even prepare for the listening test. after having seen the barron's book at a local store, i've totally regreted ordering the "cracking sat II" book instead. since i'm strong in french, i might not need to buy the barron's book but the "cracking" one surely doesn't give me the security barron's would have given me.

Actually, I've completed my French course last year, but this year(2001) when I decided to take the SAT II: French, I've almost forgotten everything (since I've never reviewed my French ever since then). So I searched at amazon.com, found and bought this book (Cracking SAT II: French). I only read it for a few days before the test (since the book's thin and easy to understand), and guess what, I got a 730! In short, the book's very great, and I guarantee that you'll get more than me if you've a better time to prepare yourself. So what? Add this to your cart!!!
