EDITORIAL REVIEW

In March 2005, the College Board will begin to administer a new SAT®. To help prepare all students for the new SAT and college success(tm), the College Board introduces:
    The Official SAT Study Guide: For the New SAT(tm)
Here's the successor to the College Board's #1 best seller 10 Real SAT®s. This new book is the only one with practice tests created by the test maker according to proprietary new SAT specifications. With the book's 700+ pages and 21 chapters, students:
  • Gain experience by taking 8 practice tests and receiving estimated scores.
  • Raise confidence by reviewing concepts, test-taking approaches, and practice questions.
  • Increase understanding of the new PSAT/NMSQT® and the new SAT. Plus, book buyers receive free online score reports and a discount on The Official SAT Online Course(tm) with auto essay scoring.
Changes to the new SAT include:
  • The name of the current SAT verbal section will be changed to critical reading, analogies will be eliminated and short reading passages will be added to existing long reading passages.

  • A new section called the SAT writing section will be added, which will contain multiple-choice grammar and usage questions and a student- written essay.
  • The SAT math section will be expanded to include topics from third-year college- preparatory math (also known as Algebra II); in addition, quantitative comparisons will be eliminated from this section. The Official SAT Study Guide: For the New SAT is part of the College Board's new SAT Readiness Program(tm) of print, online, and professional development resources.

    good customer service

    We ordered the older version SAT book on a rush because the class our daughter was in wasn't updated to the new text. We paid extra $$ for shipping but the book was delayed in the mail and took almost 2 weeks to arrive. The vendor we used was apologetic and though realizing they couldn't control the speed of the US Mail they refunded our shipping on the book to compensate for the time it took. Classy move. We appreciated their customer service. The book was flawless by the way.

    Very pleased with purchase

    SAT review book

    I needed to contact the seller to ensure that I was receiving the correct edition. The seller responded promptly, to ensure that it was the correct edition. Most importantly, the price charged was significantly cheaper than other sources. I believe I paid under $10.00, and it was posted in the $90.00 range from other sources! That is what prompted me to ensure that it was the same book with such a price swing! The book arrived promptly, and was it great condition (like new) just as described!

    Very good source

    I purchased this for my son who is a HS sophomore, although I have used it more than he has.

    It is very well organized and offers a lot of useful tips on the various types of questions. It explains why one answer is better than perhaps a similar one, which I found very helpful. There are a lot of practice questions and full-length practice tests as well. The book is broken up nicely into sections. In addition to the practice questions, it also provides useful test-taking tips.

    It also provided guidance for the newest section on writing and good examples of the types of topics that will likely be provided. It gave good examples of a good essay, an okay essay and a poor essay, and provided specific pointers as to why one would be graded higher than another. I found this very valuable, since I thought some of the "okay" ones were pretty good - but it pointed out what was lacking.

    I think that if I can get him to actually go through the book, it will be very helpful in preparing for the standardized exams in his future. I think the purchase price is very reasonable for what you get in this book, and it is an excellent value. I highly recommend it if you will be taking the SAT.

    who knows...never got it

    I never received my purchase. I've exhausted all avenues of refund without so much as ever even getting a response. I'm sure the actual producst is very helpful, it just remains to be seen due to the fact I have not received it.
