Best SAT strategy guide This is the most amazing book for the SAT i've seen so far after simply glancing over the writing section a couple of days before I received a 630 on the sat writing section. After my first sat i really read it through and noticed just how amazing it is. It's a great read, keeps you entertained, and has amazing tips. I can't wait to take the sat test this saturday and impale the evil testing serpent. Pair this book with the college board book and you'll be on your way to success.. Arts Lover said Good resource!. I bought this small book for my niece and took a look at it. It seems very easy to read, practical, down-to-earth and humorous. It has useful examples of the most difficult types of problems, for instance, in math. A welcome change from some of the other, more stuffy, voluminous and boring study guides. I think this book will hold her attention and help her as she prepares for the SAT.. Awesome book! This book is a great book even if just by humor's standards. I did not want to put this book down. Anybody who's read an SAT study book before knows that is rare.Witty, informative, and not too long. I recommend buying this book and 10 Real SAT's. Then if you really want to go the extra mile pick up Barron's How to Prepare for the SAT 1. It's really long but super informative with flash cards and everything.Buy this book!
