This review is from: How to Prepare for the NEW SAT with CD-ROM (Barron's SAT (W/CD)) (Paperback)

Very good preparaton and plenty of practice. This book can benefit you tremendously. Much of what I picked up from this book I was able to apply to the SAT. My score indeed went up. In class, I always scored a 3, or 4 on my essays but after spending lots of time going through this book, my accumulative score on the SAT was 11 (a 5 and a 6).

The only thing I didn't like was the way it reviewed everything. You can tell these people aren't the best of teachers. Much of it was very breif quick explanation and an example, a couple if your lucky. Still, this book manages to cover the entire range of math and reading skills you will need on the SAT. As you can imagine, it's gonna take some time so my advice is to buy the book EARLY!!!
