Summary: Poor quality of tests
Comment: Bought this book for my son and was greatly disappointed. Often the answers given were wrong in Math, of simple questions. And we didn't even find errata online at the princeton review website that was much touted in the book. Avoid.

Summary: If you're out of CB materials
Comment: This book is great if you're out of CB materials. The questions have the same "SAT flavor" and are in generally representative of the exam you'll see on test day. I would like to note, however, that the questions in here are, on average, harder than those on CB exams, so don't feel too discouraged if you don't do well on the exams in this book.

Summary: Poorly Written and Misleading
Comment: In order to get used to the new SAT format and questions, I picked out this book from a shelf full of similar sample tests, thinking that it wouldn't matter which one I chose. Was I wrong!

My first inkling of trouble came from the critical reading sections. The questions themselves seemed a bit off, and the reasoning given for the answers was convoluted. Had the SAT really gone so far downhill?

The first math section showed me the real culprit. The answers were verifiably wrong on multiple questions, and one set of choices didn't even contain the right answer! At that point, the book lost my confidence completely. If the math answers were off so often, how could I trust the more-subjective sections? How could I even trust that the questions were representative?

Based on reviews here, I'll be picking up the Barron's SAT 2400 book and the official practice tests from College Board. I've learned my lesson.

Customer Rating: Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5
Summary: Very sloppy book!
Comment: I bought this book for my son to prepare for the SAT. Well, we found 3 errors in 5 sections of the first test. Two math errors and one incorrect answer in a Reading section. Don't buy this book!

Customer Rating: Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5
Summary: Test 1 has "problems" in the math section!
Comment: To find one mistake in an SAT prep book is disappointing -- to find multiple errors in the first of ten tests is distressing. My prep class will be taking the second SAT test next week, and we hope we do not uncover as many errors next week as we did this week.
