The Official SAT Study Guide

Purchased this SAT study book for my nephew who is a Junior in high school. The material and test are immense in this book...with 10 practice tests and included DVD (with proctor timer). My nephew have informed me that he has taken 4 of the practice exam and have already improved his score! Although this book will not solely prep the student fully for SAT, it is sure a great study aide. The material covered is similar to paid SAT study sessions that cost hundreds of dollars. Practice makes perfect and this SAT study exams have 10 to practice which will be enough to get plenty of exposure and practice to the real SAT. Great supplement to any SAT guide.

I did my SAT for the very first time in June with absolutely NO preparation (literally none, as in, I didn't even know the test format or anything when I walked in.) I got 1950, but did really badly on writing (570). I've gone through the writing section of this book then redid my SAT in December and writing went so well I'm expecting to go up by at least 100 points. This book is pretty comprehensive and there are so many practice tests you'll never run out. I've only really used the writing section guide though, so that's all I can talk about as SAT prep really bores me.

The Official SAT Study Guide affectionately dubbed by many high school student as the Blue book is more than an essential for preparing for the SAT. The book offers student the most (10) OFFICIAL SAT tests in comparison to book by other third party testing companies that create there own tests and questions, which do not rely on the same structures as official SAT questions. The reason I did not give this book a full five stars is because I believe it is lacking in regards of SAT test strategies and techniques. However, I still think this book is a must, because it provides students the best types of question to practice before test day. In regards to publishing, the book is made quite well and the pages are relative smooth and good to work on in comparison to the coarse pages of many other test companies. Finally, an added bonus is the CD in the back of the book. Many users (including myself) find the CD very gimmicky and not particularly helpful compared to the book. But if you believe an extra test and some timing and math tools will help you than I would recommend buying it with the CD.

Great item, glad I found it online, will order again from them

The book is great, and very helpful to my son, but it was a real bummer when the DVD didn't work, and even if we return it it won't get here before he takes the test.

The best practice for the SAT that there is. Not only are there sample tests, but they tell you how to get the answers. We're using this and the College Board online practice to prepare for the test. The sections that review the material on the test are very helpful, especially for parents who haven't studied geometry and algebra in a while. The DVD has math concepts video (but you can get them for free on Kahn Academy) and an extra test. Even though CB is coming out with a new version of the test, math concepts and English grammar don't change, so this guide is well worth your while.

The practice tests are perfect for measuring where you are at. I took 2 practice tests from the book and then the real test and amazingly got the same score for both the practice tests and the actual test. Definitely buy this book for the practice tests. HOWEVER be warned that the book barely teaches you the fundamentals and skills to get a higher score. The book is mostly a summary. You should look for other books that focuses on fundamentals to buy in addition to this book to raise your score.

There's some great info in here that'll definitely be useful to anyone studying for their SATS! It gives plenty of problems and practice tests for you to prepare and even sample essays. However, the reason I gave it 4 stars is because I didn't get a chance to check out the DVD since it was warped... I guess since it's packed right next to the spine of the book it reshaped during the shipping sucks and I'm still trying to get it straight. It doesn't completely ruin the whole thing but it would have been nice to see what it was like before taking my SAT

Very good and really helpful. DVD needs more examples of tests but the TIMER function on it is excellent and well worth using as a base for practice exams

i had bought Barron sat book for my previous SAT and scored a 1450 but this time after studying from this book i feel i will improve my score for sure.... the tips and tricks in here are very helpful...MUST BUY...

息子が毎日少しづつやっています。なかなか、良さそうです。最後までやればそこそこ力もつくのではないかと、期待しています。

O livro está sendo usado por meu filho que se prepara para o exame. O material é muito bom e atendeu as expectativas dele
