This book's physics presentation is at about a third grade level; it is riddled with typographical, grammatical, and physics errors. A good number of the questions in the practice test are keyed incorrectly to the answer sheet, and I spotted many completely wrong statements in the core material.

Frankly, this book does not help the critical reader. I tried and didn't get as good an understanding as any other test prep book I've ever read, in any subject. There are numerous errors including spelling, incorrect answers and concepts. Not only that, but the drawings were poor - I wondered what kind of program they were using to make such images. The end product looks like what you might get if you had 5 days to finish it. Only buy if you get a tremendous deal.

Do not buy this book! I was astounded by the number of errors. There are serious mistakes in the core subject material as well as numerous typographical errors and incorrect answers to questions. There are several cases where the "correct" letter answer does not correspond to the detailed answer provided a few pages later. The editors, if they existed, were asleep for this one.

This book is wonderful, I read through it before I took the physics test, and I scored 770 on the second try! My first one was only 660. It is great not because it gives a lot of concepts but it presents real SAT II-like questions in the practice tests. you have to use your concepts to solve them.
