4.0 out of 5 stars Great review material, but tests could be better..., June 15, 2008
By 
This review is from: Kaplan SAT 2008 Comprehensive Program (Paperback)
The best way to do well on the SAT is to, well, practice. But if your fundamentals are lacking, then its behooves you to learn the basics. This book's review material is great! It goes over all the math you need to do well on the SAT (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, word problems, etc.) and gives you a fair amount of practice. The writing section is excellent -- it gives you all the grammar rules AND a list of idiomatic prepositions. The reading section is as good as it can be (it's very difficult to "teach" reading) and the vocabulary list is great.

However, the practice tests in here are nothing like the real thing. The math is far too easy and less focused on "trickery" than it is on straight mathematics. The writing questions were dead on for the most part, but the reading questions were...meh. The sentence completions tested too difficult vocabulary and the reading comprehension was too basic.

I'd give this a 4/5 because of the practice tests. Now if you pair it with the college board's book with 8 tests (the "blue book"), then you should be all set. But as a standalone prep book, it needs better tests.

I scored a 2340 on the actual exam and use these books to tutor my students (friends).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Guide, March 19, 2008
This review is from: Kaplan SAT 2008 Comprehensive Program (Paperback)
This is the book I use with all my PSAT and SAT students. It provides a great overview of the test, teaches the Kaplan test-taking strategies, and supplies the student with several full-length tests so he/she can practice his/her new skills.
