I bought this book May '01, and it was the best SAT prep book I have ever bought! Starting out with two ways of using this book, A. "The Classic Way" in which you go through the book at a steady pace if you still have about five or six months like me! B. "The SAT EMERGENCY Plan" for those that are taking the SAT in just two weeks, or maybe even three days! The book gives lucid directions with a humorous tone for its students. It familiarizes its readers with the SAT exam, building up the confidence, which is a very important factor in taking the SAT. Then section two teaches the verbal skills, and of course, workouts with completely satisfying explanations. Section three comes with a handful of SAT math concepts and detailed explanations on how to do each section of the SAT. Yet the best thing the book offers for the math section is the Top Ten SAT Math Traps, which no other books (that I know of) offers. Master these questions to ace the last 3 questions of the Regular Math Questions! On Section four, once again, no other books that I know of offers their readers a "Stress Management System". This section could really save those stressful students taking their SATs the next week! Also, the PSAT reviews for sophomores are just as excellent; only if I could have acquired this book last year, the Writing Skills section would have boosted my mediocre English up a whole lot of points! Don't be surprised; still more awaits your attention! There are "SIX" full-length practice tests with explanations! Section six teaches you how to count your raw score and convert it to the real score, also devising a plan for each individual their goal aim. Section seven gives you more than 2,200 vocabs for you to cram, and best of all the English section, Kaplan SAT & PSAT 2001 edition grouped their vocabs into a "SAT Word Family List¡¨ Allowing the test-tomorrow-students memorizes vocabs more easily than ever by grouping similar definitions to cram! Last but not least, comes the Kaplan CD-ROM. A personalized plan, featuring both a verbal and a math section review, full-length and practice tests after each sections. For game-lovers, there is a humorous game for enhancing your vocab and math skills for the SAT! And for lazy seniors (like me) or early planning juniors, there is an "Admissions Planner" that helps you get more information on everything you need to worry for universities! I am very glad that I chose this book over a ton others!
