5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best thing you can do for your score!, August 26, 2000

By	Cliff Bauer "Cliff" (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 10 Real SATs, Second Edition (Paperback)

Taking the tests in 10 Real SAT's is by far the best thing you can do to raise your score. Really. Becoming familiar with the test, seeing the types of questions and just getting in the SAT taking mindset will help you more than any vocabulary flashcards, math worksheets, tutors, or SAT programs ever will (and the book is a lot less expensive!).

Though I did not score poorly on my PSAT's, I did want to score significantly better. After doing those flash cards and math sheets and visiting a few tutors, my score had gone up, but not as much as I had wanted it to. So, for the two months before the big test day, I took one full test every Saturday (it sounds like I lot, I know, but it's not that bad!). With each test, my score went up 10-30 points, and on test day, I did even better than I had been doing on the practice tests, raising my score to the level I had wanted.

My advice: buy this book, and take at least three or four tests. It WILL raise your score! (Unless you're consistently getting 1600's, of course...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must buy, July 8, 2002

By	Joshua A. Wallis "John Galt" (Flagstaff, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 10 Real SATs, Second Edition (Paperback)

First of all, I am not an intelligent kid. Infact, I scored extremely poor in my PSAT (bottom 50% nationally.) So the day I got my scores I decided I wasn't going to to the same thing on the real SATs. I've read Kaplan, Barron's, Princeton, Rea, Arco, vocabulary builders, and I gotten the Ten Real SATs. I've studied my brains out; and it helped. I scored Math : 610 Verbal 560 and I plan on taking them again in October. I've studied over 100 hours just for the SATs and I'll tell you as succinctly as possible how to raise your score. Buy 10 REAL SATs, Princeton's Review, Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis, Peterson's SAT Word flash 2002. These books will be a LIFE SAVER. That is in order, so if only want to buy 2-3 books, get those. They will, if you study, raise your score dramatically. I plan on getting in the 1200's next time I take the SATs, and it would be absurd to say that if I didn't have the motivation or these books.

also

If you are planning, or wondering what it takes to get in top tier schools; I suggest, 'College Admissions Trade Secrets' by Andrew Allen. This book will motivate you and show you, what you need to do to get into your 'dream school.'

I can't stres this enough; if you actually want to raise your SAT scores, and you are serious about it. This is a MUST HAVE book.

5.0 out of 5 stars From 1170 to 1370!, July 29, 2000

By	Marie Neese (Atlanta, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 10 Real SATs, Second Edition (Paperback)

My score wen't from an 1170 to a 1370. I only studied for a week before my second test date due to final exams. I did 6 of the 10 tests, and the highest I scored was a 1350. My first SAT was 600 in verbal and 570 in math. My last one was 690 in verbal and 680 in math. I plan to break 1400 now. This book has given me the chance to get into much better colleges with much more ease. It's a worthy investment! (one of my friends broke 1400 on his first try thanks to the book!)
