Why Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions?

When you want advice, you probably ask your friends. Or parents. Or teachers. And each of them can probably give you some good advice about taking the PSAT. So why do you need Kaplan?

And when a test changes, we're prepared with the most up-to-date materials.

When it comes to the PSAT, your friends know what works for them, but do they know what works for you? Kaplan has helped millions of students -- all kinds of students, from perfect-score seekers to students who run screaming from algebra problems -- reach their individual goals. More than 65 years of test preparation experience -- it's all in this book.Sign up for our free email newsletter, the College Edge, and we'll keep you posted about college admissions trends and test changes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Good, March 19, 2005
By 
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT Critical Reading Workbook (Paperback)
As this book says, the best way to score higher on the critical reading section is to practice, practice, practice. This book gives a good bit of that and very well writen explinations. I am begining to find critical reading more and more easy on the 10 real sat's book (I had used it for the January 22 2005 test, but never finished it). The vocab is quite good. On the official sat posted on the college board website, I was working through it (I got a 640, a 90 point improvment, and I am only halfway done) and I noticed that for 1 of the hard sentence completions, (one blank) the answer was a vocab word, and I had barley studied any. My advice buy the offical guide along with this book for real practice as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars THANK YOU!!!!!!!!, April 17, 2005
By 
Steven Jennings (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT Critical Reading Workbook (Paperback)
I used this book and scored a 770 on the march 12 sat critical reading section. A massive improvment from my original 580. The most helpful part of this book was the explinations. Each one adds on to your understanding of exactly what CR tests and they REALLY help! When I answered a question I thought I had gotten right but I had really gotten wrong, (or questions I didn't know/guessed on) the explinations really made me understand and let me tackle questions like that in the future. This book offers a great deal of quite realistic practice. The vocab list was very helpful and many words on the test that were in this book, including the really hard ones! I recomend the offical guide with this book for real questions!

4.0 out of 5 stars so-so, August 2, 2006
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT Critical Reading Workbook (Paperback)
The book is not okay, but not that great.
I like it for the practice problems though, but from doing Problems by college board, i feel the Kaplan is a bit easiler.
I think the explaination is good, better than collegeboard ones.
This is only a practice book, no good tips and other stuff
