Summary: a handy book
Comment: At first I honestly didn't want this book AT ALL! but my parents thought that I should use it to get me prepared for the SATs. I went through it and it really helped, it told me what the questions would be like and what to expect. It was pretty useful to me but what works for me doesn't neccessarily work for everyone else.

Summary: CollegeBoard book the real deal
Comment: Like all things associated with the collegeboard these days, their "Official" SAT Study Guide leaves much to be desired in a test prep book, yet because it is the only book with real SAT tests, it's really the only one I would recommend for students to use.
I've been teaching SAT prep for 20 years, and the subtle differences between the real test questions and those made up in publishers' cubicles do translate into better prep for students. The SAT is hard enough without having to suffer the fact that the practice questions you may be working on are not exactly what you will see on the real test. The research and development that the SAT does on test questions provides consistency that other publishers just can't match.
With 8 complete tests included, the Official SAT Guide provides more than enough material for aspiring students, and the tutorials in the front of the book are good enough to help most motivated kids. The weakness of the book is the lack of explanations to go with the answers. One can buy the "SAT Solutions Manual for over $20, but that really is irresponsible on the part of the publishers, or a boondoggle that isn't fair to the consumers. For heaven's sake, include the explanations... isn't hundreds of millions a year enough profit?
But that's the CollegeBoard!

Summary: Not Worth It
Comment: The Official SAT Study Guide i took that SAT this march, and got a 1560. which I'm sorry but if you bought a review book you'd expect a little better of a score than that. this book is boring and not helpful. the most helpful thing was my friend who took that SAT's last year tutoring me.

Summary: official SAT Study Guide
Comment: the book is perfect as it sets up students for the SAT since the same people that do the test wrote the book. There must be excellent instructors to explain the answers as there are no explanations.
