SAT II Writing Preparation Guide (Cliffs Test Prep)

 (8 customer reviews)

I am an English teacher, writer and translator, and I work with students preparing for the SAT II Writing Test. The prep book by Casson is the best one I have found so far. The review material is outstandingly concise and clear, and the practice tests are very good. This book is especially useful for students who do not have much time to prepare, but I would recommend it to anyone who is going to take SAT II Writing. Also, unlike some other prep books, this one contains no typographical errors and contradictions.

When I was looking for an SAT II Writing preparation book, I checked a number of them. This one caught my eye because THE COLLEGE BOARD REVIEW called it the "best trade market publication" on the subject. I agree. Of the books I checked, this one had the best written questions and answers. I recommend it enthusiastically.

I am extremely pleased with this book. Not only does it go from topic-to-topic explaining all the details, it also gives extensive practice in those particular areas. The organization is excellent, allowing you to go to any specific section that you need help on. The tests themselves are good, although not as scientific as the ones on the real SAT II Writing. Altogether, I am a very satisfied customer.
