Summary: The BEST overall book in prepping for the SAT
Comment: Of the major, fat, well known SAT prep books (Barron's, Princeton Review, Kaplan) this one is by FAR the best. What makes this book stand out is it shows you the easiest and fastest way to answer a given question. For example, on a math question, there will be about four ways to go about solving that particular problem. The book will outline the four ways, show you which one was the best, and even show you shortcuts you never would have realized. Thanks to Dr. Gruber, multiple variable factoring used to be a process I saved for my TI-89. Not anymore. THe book showed me how to do it MUCH quicker in my head using simple math shortcuts and common sense. The best part is, it shows you tips, shortcuts, and strategies for virtually every time of problem one will encounter on the SAT. Much better than other prep books of its size, and also a little cheaper. How could you possibly go wrong?

Summary: FUTUREDOC
Comment: I have been through most of the test preperation books in the market, but this I was very optimistic upon coming to this book. The book itself is not written in a "user-friendly" manner, and the best parts of this book are the 3,500 word vocab list. The math section is very comprehensive, however, the questions are a lot harder than those found on the SAT, which eventually starts to discourage you. I verbal review sections are practically useless, and the strategies do not work. Once again, buy this book only for the vocabulary list, and then move on to some other book (such as kaplan, etc...). This list will give you the foundation to answer analogies and sentencecompletions but nothing more...
The practice tests are quite useless, and are much harder than that found on the real SAT...
Good luck on you test preperation

Summary: Solid math review but lacks application for the SAT
Comment: Having tested many books that deal with the SAT I was positively surprised by the depth this book provided. The problem is the fact that the sample questions in it do not really reflect the real SAT-test and can only be used to study the math or the critical thinking skills.
Also, dont plan to use this book to brush up your vocabulary - the included word-list provides you with only the meanings of the words and not with a sample sentence.
This book might be suitable for usage in combination with 10 Real SATs or some other book that features more realistic SAT questions.
