These are not as good as the questions found in the College Board's Official Study Guide for the New SAT. I found this book helpful, but the College Board book (which I used with SAT Math Cognition) is much more helpful.

Princeton Review challenges the ETS party line on prepping and coaching. By studying patterns in the ETS answer choices and question sequences, Princeton Review came up with what it calls the Joe Blog approach. At its core, Joe Blog says that on easy questions, go for the obvious answer that Joe Blog (a hypothetical Joe-Average) would guess; on the hard ones, avoid the "obvious answers, because they are "tricks" to fool Joe Blog. Even for top scorers, the Joe Blog techniques could add points by increasing the odds of successfully making educated guesses on the toughest questions. Moreover, the Princeton Review writers do provide excellent practice beyond the Joe Blog approach. They seem to have studied the content of the test better than most authors, particularly Barrons. If there is one flaw, it is that the explanations to the practice questions need a lot of work.

While not perfectfor everyone, this book is still an important and helpful resource. I do recommend this book overall.

This study guide teaches you the basics to ace the test. It also, however, teaches you several tricks that will help save time and reach the right answer. I haven't taken the test yet, after using this, but I will in a couple weeks. Wish me luck! If you're looking for a good prep book for the SAT, this is the one.

Critiques of the scores from the first administrations of 'New SAT' must have warranted some of the updates I found in the 2006 version of this book. This manual has a slightly different format than the 2005 version, but contains 'meatier' content and some updated and refined techniques. The spin is a bit different in some sections, so readers will need to 're-frame' their appraoch to some of the question types. This is an effective preparation tool.
