5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!!! It really helps!!!!!!
This book is great for developing speed in answering Analogies and Sentence Completions, but I found it somewhat lacks on Critical Reading questions!!! But overall I would suggest u buy the book, it costs every penny!!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of practice, but could use better explanations
If you're looking for tons of practice, this is the book may be for you. The book is page after page of examples. The main downfall of this book is that the explanations are only a sentence long. At times this made it difficult to understand why an answer choice was wrong. I'd prefer better explanations than quantity.
Another problem was the extensive vocabulary...

This review is from: Verbal Workbook for the SAT I (Paperback)
If you're looking for tons of practice, this is the book may be for you. The book is page after page of examples. The main downfall of this book is that the explanations are only a sentence long. At times this made it difficult to understand why an answer choice was wrong. I'd prefer better explanations than quantity.
Another problem was the extensive vocabulary list.It would have been easier to learn if Barron's clustered their words into groups like in their Hot Word's for the SAT I book.

Overall, I'd rather spend my money on the Kaplan Verbal Book for the better explanations
