SAT Prep Black Book: The Most Effective SAT Strategies Ever Published

Bien

I think i learned a lot from this book in terms of stategy and learning material. the subject tool box and sat past paper break down of CB rsources is very helpfull. Strongly reccomend this book and would also want to say within one month my score increased by 220 points using this books stategies

The book is enormous and looks extremely thorough. I bought it on impulse for my son’s SAT revision next year, having seen the title and amazing reviews. I *almost* put it to one side without having a look, when it arrived, but curiosity and mild anxiety got the better of me given the sheer size, and I took a peek inside.After flipping through several random pages, suddenly breathing very heavily and reaching for some Vodka, panic had set in. How could I guide my son through this next year? I had no idea the SAT content would be so advanced and extensive.Then a small niggle worked its way forward and I wondered…is this book for a US test, rather than the UK SAT test for 10-11 year olds I had innocently purchased it for? I read the blurb and saw a few references to the College Board (16-18 year old education level here in the UK), but assumed it was just a wider education board that oversees an element of examination in the UK. The panic remained.I have never wished SO hard for a google result to validate my desperate hope…. And there it was - SATs in the US are for young adults soon to apply to college.And breeeeathe.I gently and quietly returned the vodka to the top shelf, and went to make myself a strong cup of English tea.Please don’t make the same mistake I did. I’ve learnt a valuable lesson around impulsivity purchases today, but most importantly, there’s hope yet that I can still help my current 9 year old with revision next year for his UK SAT test, and thankfully I won’t need this amazing book.

I was adviced to get it by many people and glad I bought it. We don’t have many opportunities to study for the SAT exam in my city; however, this book helps me a lot while studying. But eventhough it is a great book, the packaging was pretty bad. It came from another country but it was put in a box without any protections and as a result, it’s arrived a little damaged.

This book is so, so complete; it has everything that a student needs for success on the sat. First, it doesn't use formal language, which makes it so much more relaxing and engaging to study, and it also makes explanations very clear and precise. Second, it tells you specifically which mistakes to avoid, the specific types of mistakes/wrong answers, and the different approaches that un-trained and trained testtakers would take. Third, it gives us specific strategies for specific types of questions and also lists the pros and cons and when to use them. Lastly, it provides a detailed walkthrough of most of the questions on actual practice tests and offers a very detailed explanation on why the three answers are wrong and what makes the final answer correct. All in all, it covers everything you need to know about the SAT and offers a deeper understanding of its structure. Very well written and super helpful! I've yet to take my second SAT but from my practice tests I can clearly see my improvement: I went from a 1360 to a 1500 and I'm hoping to go even higher!
