Most of this book is incredible. In math, for example, the author has 101 very technical questions, to pinpoint what you need to learn in material, and then covers the techniques of the questions, which is what the SAT tests, mostly. I have no trouble believing that his book will actually raise your IQ. His section on the critical reading section is also great, with him including important lating and greek roots, prefixes and suffixes in addition to a long list of english words, an idea which is so brilliant that I wonder why nobody else does that.
I’m only giving it 3 stars, however, due to two major flaws. One is that the writing section is obviously tacked on to the rest of the book. His 14 questions that are supposedly the elite questions for determining if you can get into top colleges (basically, questions with a trick to them, without which they’re extremely hard), consist of 7 math and 7 critical reading. Writing appears almost solely in the five full practice tests, and in a handful of questions in the chapter on the writing test (questions which effectively comprise the writing test chapter).
Furthermore, the questions are easy. I got 14/14 on the elite questions – this whilst doing them in my head. Flipping through the practice tests, I could do the toughest math questions in my end easily.

Hello, I am a local tutor and think this is the best book for the SAT and I even use this for students trying to learn critical thinking skills. I highly recommend!!!

Book is great for testing strategy and quality of tests. Just wanted to share one mistake that my son found in this book (he is 12 so he couldn’t write this review) – Math, test 4, Section 8, Task 13 – right answer is A, they wrote 8x+ky=19 in answer instead of 8x-ky=19 as in task itself.
