Why it''s so important to work with real SAT questions from the College Board...and why you shouldn''t pay much attention to the College Board''s written explanations for those questions! What you''re actually supposed to do when the SAT asks you about an author''s attitude... Why you shouldn''t put your faith in diagnostic tests, even if they come from the College Board... The important implications of viewing time as an investment on test day...

  • Best SAT Prep Book I've got

    Very good book. I have this book and the blue book. The blue book really doesn't go into as much details as this book does. This book breaks down every bit of a question and most importantly it show you different ways to answer the questions. This is especially helpful in math.
