5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best SAT-prep book. I use it when I tutor my students., July 29, 2008

This review is from: Kaplan SAT 2009 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. There are generally very few changes from one year to the next, but I like the 2009 book because there's a new introductory section AND fun exercises to do as "study breaks" at the end of each section. While the content is pretty much the same as the 2008 version, it seems they left out a few of the pages of instructional material that I found very instructional in last years' edition.

This review is from: Kaplan SAT 2009 Comprehensive Program (Paperback)

As an SAT Tutor, I have found this book most helpful to use with my students. From math strategies to grammar traps, this book covers it all. I have found the "Math Traps" and "Common Mistakes" to be the most useful parts. The four practice tests provided in the book are of moderate difficulty. Test one and four seem to be the most difficult, and test three seems to be the easiest. I recommend this resource to any student who wants to learn how to understand "SAT lingo" and get inside the heads, per say, of the test writers. I also recommend this resource to any tutor or parent that is looking to help a student prep for the SAT exam. SAT prep can be rather arduous, but is always rewarding--good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, August 31, 2009

This review is from: Kaplan SAT 2009 Comprehensive Program (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my son who is a sophomore in HS. Unfortunately, I've spent more time with it that he has! It is very compreshensive and provides a good number of tips for both how to prepare for the test and how to tackle specific questions. There are a lot of practice questions and full-lentgh practice tests.

There is an online component that I thought would be more useful, but it seemed more to be a way to try to get you to enroll in Kaplan's VERY expensive test prep courses. We have not explored the online content in much detail.

Overall I think it was a good value.
