2.0 out of 5 stars If you don't want a thorough review of Spanish..., January 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cracking the SAT II: Spanish, 1999-2000 Edition (Cracking the Sat Spanish Subject Test) (Paperback)

I found this book to be succint and easy to comprehend, but it left out some important grammar and vocabulary topics. In fact, the majority of the book was composed of practice tests, which were way too easy. When I took their tests, I "scored" a 760. However, when it came to the actual test, I got a 640. It was pretty disappointing, especially since I've had four years of Spanish. I reccomend Barron's book. I bought it to study for a retake and found it to be much more complete. It helped me to get a 760, but this time for real.
