This book was really Great. It's got the "Hit Parade" vocab in flashcards, so you don't necessarily have to be settled at a desk in order to learn vocab. It also gives great tips and hints on how to figure out the answers. It teaches the reader how to not choose "Joe Bloggs" kinds of answers, but instead to make educated, sensible answers! A must have for an SAT candidate!

Having purchased other Princeton Review books, I was dissapointed with this book. Not enough of the book was dedicated to examples, and it lacked practice tests. 2 critical things missing considering the price of this book.
I liked that their word lists are composed of the words most common ones on the SAT, but I didn't like the way the words were arranged. Words that didn't really relate seemed to be thrown together into a list.
The vocab cards seem like a plus, but they put 2 words into a card.
Overall, this book isn't worth the money. It skimps over the basic necessities that a SAT verbal book should have.

This book is just dumb. It only gives you 200 practice problems in a 200 page book. In addition, it DOES NOT include a practice test. the book costs you 15 dollars in a bookstore. As one of the owners of the book, i strongly recommend you to buy something else.

This book has horrible vocabulary examples (you know, the example that accompanies the vocab). For instance, an example for the word "wry" which means "dryly humorous" was "if she is dryly humorous, then she is wry". How stupid is that? There were tons of other examples that were just like that. Plus, the book doesn't really teach you how to score higher. It teaches you how to gamble with your score. I definately do not recommend this book!

Stupid SAT Prep. Awful book

This is useless book. Buying it is a waste of money. Most of its context is useless. The book does not give u sufficient strategies to tackle sat I verbal problems. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

As an educator and an SAT tutor, this is my top pick for the SAT review. This book may not have as many practice tests as some have complained, but it has strategies, and that is what's key. For instance, how to eliminate choices, how to figure out the answer when you don't know any of the vocabulary words, and what grammar concepts are tested most often. Use this in conjunction with an SAT practice book from the college board, and you're set. You won't find a better book in terms of explanation and strategy.

excellent1 very clear and precise.!! helpos alot!! with alot of strategies and answers explained
