This review is from: The Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd edition (Paperback) I am a private math tutor and author of the Math Study Guide for the SAT, ACT and SAT Subject Tests: 2012 Edition. I gave this book five stars because it has the best collection of practice tests. However I found some errors:pg 618. The answer to problem 6-14 is 5, not 6. pg 641. Problem 13 should be c(x)=((600x-200)/x)+k. pg 680. Decimal points are missing from problems 4-15 and 4-17. pg 804. The decimal point is missing from problem 3-9. pg 866. The answer to problem 7-17 is B, not C. UPDATE AS OF JANUARY, 2011: There have been at least three printings of this book. In the first printing, there were no indications of any errors. The second printing had a list of errors printed on yellow paper which was inserted into the book. The third printing has corrected the errors, has no insert, and says "Updated!" on the cover. Your particular copy of the book may be from any of these printings. 135 of 139 people found the following review helpful: The only book you *must* have for SAT preparation, By This review is from: The Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd edition (Paperback) It's been a few years since I wrote my original review for the earlier edition of this book. Back then, I was a student taking the exam in order to get into college. However as a tutor I have taken the exam multiple times since I applied to college, gotten a few more 2300+ scores, and now pass on my knowledge to the next generation of students vying for competitive college admissions. The first thing I tell my students to do is to buy the Official SAT Study guide. It's simply the best. Why? Well, first off, let me start with the changes to this new edition. It now has 10 practice tests, three of which are recycled from the new administration (now that they've given enough tests to disclose them) and seven from the original book. So I'll say now that it may not be a good idea to buy this if you have the older edition, but this newer edition is much more useful since there are three *real* exams. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as the old book.

I've running out of good materials for my students, and using College Board is really the best prep, since the CB writes the test. However, I was really disappointed when I got this book. They've added 3 tests at the beginning that are taken from October 2006, January 2007 and May 2007 - definitely a benefit if you don't have access to copies of original tests. But the rest of the book just uses the same tests from the original 2005 version, with very slight changes in some of the critical reading questions (changes that were much needed, I think). If you're going to buy this book as you begin your study process, this will help you understand how the test thinks. But if you are buying this to supplement the 2005 version, be aware that you're only getting 3 new tests. You be the judge of whether that's worth your money. |
