Explanations vague and insufficient,

This review is from: Official Sat Study Guide Solutions Manual: 2007-2008 Edition (Paperback)
As an SAT tutor, I was looking for something to offer my students and to provide explanations for the College Board's Study Guide. I was disappointed. Many explanations, especially in the criting reading and writing, are too brief and are vague and insufficient. I'm left still wondering, "why"? I wouldn't spend the money again on this product. I think doing the College Board's online course, which I believe offers explanations, would have been better.

Helped me get into Stanford!,

This review is from: Official Sat Study Guide Solutions Manual: 2007-2008 Edition (Paperback)
I had the Official SAT Guide, and couldn't solve a lot of the problems. This explained things clearly and it also showed the best way to solve all the math problems too. Some other guys have a book like this too, but the explanations are really long and not very clear. After I used this, I got a 2240 on the SAT, and I just got in early admissions to Stanford!!!! Go Seniors '08!

This review is from: Official Sat Study Guide Solutions Manual: 2007-2008 Edition (Paperback)
Don't be fooled by what "Stu Dent" was talking about. This isn't some "random guy" from California but a well trained SAT teacher of six years, and it clearly shows in the book. He obviously failed to say that he didn't read this book enough to have a complete understanding of it.
It's been a pain for me to search for the solutions online and some aren't even on there. This book makes studying for the SAT much easier and efficient.
