highly recommended

Most college-bound test-takers already know that 2400 represents a perfect score on the new-format SAT. This book focuses on meeting the needs of top students, the young men and women who believe they can approach that perfect score when it?s time for them to take the SAT. The authors skip past obvious test-taking strategies, coaching students on the do?s and don?ts of smart test-taking, using focused and effective techniques. Their goal is to help top students score 700 or above on all three sections of the new SAT?Critical Reading, Writing, and Math. A score of 2100 or higher will set test takers apart from the crowd, placing them in the top 5% of high-achieving students throughout the country, and virtually guaranteeing them acceptance to the most prestigious and academically challenging colleges. The authors present strategies for tackling the hardest questions on the SAT. Critical Reading strategies are given for both long and short passages. Coaching for the Writing Section covers essential grammar for the three question types and guides students on how to write an exemplary essay in 25 minutes. The Math Section reviews topics in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics, and word problems. The book features many practice questions in all test areas with thorough answer explanations. Valuable appendices include upper-level vocabulary lists and useful math formulas. High-achievers will value this book as that extra leg-up to help them get those scholarships and gain admission to the college of their choice.

Great

This is definitely my type of book. I am a fairly good test taker so this book dives right into the deep end instead of wasting time telling you no-brainers.

Overall - great book

I just received this book yesterday, and after reading through it, found some of the stuff to be very helpful. There are some insights this book share that others don't. This book is for those who strive for a perfect 2400 on the SAT. If you want to familiarize yourself with the SAT first, then you should read Barron's How to Prepare for the SAT. That book has a lot more information about taking the SAT, but it will only tell you how to guess on the hard questions. Unlike this book, which tells you how to actually handle and solve them.

I took off one star because I thought this book would have more pages (it has 373). Math is a full 171 pages, compared to only 180 pages for the reading and writing pages combined. I would like to give this book 3.5 stars, but by the rules of rounding, that's 4 stars :D

This book and Grubers are the best on the market

Reviewing many test prep books, especially SAT books I find that Barrons and Grubers are the best on the market. The price is there and the material is great.
