Book Description

Kaplan SAT (w/CD) July 1, 2004

Problem Solved.

Problem #1: You want to do well on the SAT, but don't have enough time to study. We get it. Everything you need to achieve your goals on the SAT is in this book. No long-winded lessons. Just what you need to score higher.


Problem #2: Studying for the SAT is boring. No kidding. Studying for the SAT is never going to be a lot of laughs. But the payoff is huge -- and the tools in this book are a straightforward path to your goal.


Problem #3: Everyone has an opinion about how you should study for the SAT. You probably have a pretty good idea of where you need help. If you already know what you need, jump right in. If not, we can help you create a personalized study plan.


You don't have to put your real life on hold while you prepare for your future.


Additional Features Include:

• Special features on the CD-ROM, including a diagnostic test, a personalized study plan (which the CD-ROM creates based on the results of your diagnostic), and an instant score analysis of the 2 full-length practice tests, including explanations for why your wrong answers are wrong. Plus: tutorials, FAQs, and more.

• Kaplan's SAT online book companion. Take additional tests, complete interactive exercises, and view supplemental flashcards -- all with the click of your mouse.

• Two email options: Receive up-to-the-minute email updates on the new SAT. You can also sign up for The College Edge -- Kaplan's free monthly newsletter filled with admissions tips, important deadline reminders, and more.

• Study group tips for students who want to prep with their friends. A study group can help you stay on track, and it's less stressful than studying on your own. This book will show you how to make your study group work for you.


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? Because your friends, parents, and teachers probably haven't invested millions of dollars developing realistic practice exams and test-taking strategies. Kaplan has. 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but not the Best, July 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT 2005 (Paperback)
I am a high school English teacher, working with a colleague who is a great math teacher to create a program on the new SAT I for a very competitive public high school in Oregon. Over the years, we've looked carefully at just about every SAT I book ever published to use with our students. The new Kaplan book is solid, and is far superior to comparable products by the Princeton Review, REA, Barron's and Up Your Score. However, for our purposes we chose "McGraw-Hill's SAT I" over even the Kaplan guide. It provides more and better practice for students than Kaplan, Princeton Review and Barron's, which we have used in the past, and delves into the reasoning skills of the SAT I far more than the others have. The practice tests in McGraw-Hill have the real SAT I "feel" which is enormously important (and lots of them). The main drawback with Kaplan's books, this one included, has been the lack of solid diagnostic practice for students. The McGraw-Hill provides far more of that, in addition to great flash cards that focus on reasoning skills rather than mere memorization. I was impressed with the McGraw-Hill guide's approach to critical reading, writing and vocabulary building, and my colleague has given high marks to the math portion. The Kaplan guide is solid, and I recommend it to many students, but I recommend they try the McGraw-Hill guide first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get 2006!, July 24, 2005
By 
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT 2005 with CD-ROM (Paperback)
The Kaplan 2006 books are out! Don't buy this one, get those (this one is like 8,000th seller and 2006 one is like 100,000th) The 2006 book is just pretty much like this book except there is a TON more practice (about 200 more questions total, not including the extra test) and an extra practice test! Some of that practice is online where there is review, more practice, and MANY practice essays. The grading scale is taken from college board and ALL of the errors are fixed. Why get this book? But I do recomend the 2006 one, it is SUPERB!

2.0 out of 5 stars They didn't even do a once-over., May 31, 2005
This review is from: Kaplan New SAT 2005 (Paperback)
I spent more time correcting the material in this book than I did working on the exercises. The amount of typed errors in this book is appalling. One rather tame example: 19+15 does not equal 36, yet the answer key assumes so. In other instances, the typists forgot to superscript the exponents, so one doesn't know whether 2k means 2 times k or 2 raised to the k power. In every single chapter, nearly half of all the given questions had significant typos. I would not recommend this edition to anyone.

However, if you are an aspiring editor for math study books, then this is a must-have.
