 Great resource for anyone taking the SAT test February 2, 2010
Candice M. Westfall (Stevensville, Michigan United States)
My 13-year old daughter had to take the SAT test in order to apply for the Math and Science Center at our high school. Although she did not know how to answer some of the questions (just because she has not been taught the information yet) having this book allowed her to practice taking the tests and see how the questions are set up for each area of study. We were also able to have her take the tests given the time she would have been allowed during the actual test. We were very happy with our purchase.
 Useful, but flawed. January 16, 2010

I got this book after my mom kept pushing me to study for SATs (I'm currently a junior and I took the test in December). Even though it was a drag to churn out a test every week, I think it helped me on the actual test, as well as the PSAT
I didn't really use the additional PSAT practice test, but my projected SAT score from the results was 2310, and it turned out to be pretty close. The most useful part for me was actually when they reviewed the few types of grammar rules. I went over this briefly and everything was on the actual test (I aced the grammar portion of it). There's not too much review because it IS a book of practice tests, so I assume this book is not for everyone or is to be used in conjunction with their Cracking the SAT series. I for one didn't really want to take a prep class so I chose this instead.
The typos mentioned by other people were pretty obvious, and sometimes very frustrating. I'm pretty sure that most people can figure out that the slope of a line is found by using delta y over delta x, not some weird mix of the two (Practice test 4, Section 3, #19.)
I'm not sure how other prep books are (I didn't really have much time and I've only taken the test once), but this one is good for checking timing, and the problems are about the right difficulty. Basically, use this book to prepare, but be ready to face typos and some vague questions. If you can deal with that, this should be a pretty good choice for you.

Many typo problems which really annoyed me. The reading and writing sections are actually great practices,for this point,it is worthy to buy. Nevertheless, the Maths section is not like SAT1 Maths, but more like SAT2 Math. The type of questions may seem awkward to you if you just want to practice SAT1 Math.
