5.0 out of 5 stars
The only way to prep,
By Chet Romulous (Rocky Harbor, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Owning the New SAT (Paperback)
This book is the only prep book I've seen that takes a positive look at taking the SAT. It doesn't scare students by painting the test as a monster they have to duck in order to get into college, but instead as a tool to HELP get into college.

An Entertaining Book about the SAT,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Owning the New SAT (Paperback)
I am a full-time SAT tutor. I find most of my students enjoy this book very much. A few do not. Overall, I think it is valuable (it is definitely entertaining) for students. I have found, however, that there are a couple of questionable reviews in the book. For example, there is a review on avoiding split infinitives. I have been through over 20 SATs and a handful of PSATs and have never seen split infinitives tested. Besides, most scholars believe that the split infinitive is acceptable as all the greatest authors (from Shakespeare to Maya Angelou) have used them. Students will read this book, not just for the content, but because they will be wondering what the wacky authors will write next.
