What Customers Say About Barron's SAT (Book only):

The verbal sections are great. This is the first SAT prep book with a sense of humor that I've ever run into. The grammar section is full of silly examples that add life to what is far too often a dry subject, and some of the wrong answers in the multiple choice sections are pretty funny, though you have to pay close attention to notice those. The book provides clear, specific explanations for each answer. The glossary in the middle of the book also defines EVERY word used in the sentence completion practice tests.

This book had some eye-opening, cold, hard statistics to show why students should guess.--The math is pretty straight forward and well-divided. These "tactics" are like strategies for test taking and for each individual subject. My first score on the SAT was a 2080. Barron's didn't even bother to teach students what types of math you'll see on the SAT; it gives students just enough background information as well as test-taking strategies.--The practice tests are realistic in both scoring and content.

Today, my score is 2250 - that's a 170 point score improvement for a score that was already excellent.Pros:--The book explains certain "tactics". I am very thankful to have purchased this book - it has helped me a ton. I had McGraw-Hill's SAT 2009 for the first SAT. There are hundreds of words. Some of them are common sense, but many of them - especially in the math portion - are incredibly helpful.--The book stresses guessing.

The math was strong, but it was not nearly as relevant as Barron's. The pull out vocabulary cards are kind of useful, but the entire vocabulary section did not seem to stress vocabulary in context or word parts.--The writing section was comprehensive and helpful, but I very much preferred McGraw-Hill's in-depth, worksheet method for writing.My suggestion is that if you need to raise your overall score, your math score, and your critical reading score, you'll love Barron's. I used Barron's to study for my second SAT. I'm not sure whether or not Barron's used SAT licensed questions, but you probably wouldn't know, either way.Cons:--The vocabulary section is useless. There's an entire chapter devoted to why students should guess on the SAT.

I was one of those students that would omit a question rather than risk a quarter point reduction. It's one massive list of words. On the other hand, if you are focusing on your writing score or you need to work on your vocabulary, you won't find Barron's as helpful.

It has been a month and I still have not recieved this product in the mail, or at all.

i just took it today and it seemed very easy from the learning process of this book. i wouldn't have thought this book would do me such good. It explained everything in details and gave extremely helpful tips for taking the SAT. Very thorough in explaining. It is definitely a must have if you're about to take the SAT.

A very helpful book. Gives the student tools that are helpful to improve the knowledge needed to do well on the SAT.
