Summary: The best of a bad bunch!
Comment: This book really exceeds what has come to be a disappointing reputation for SAT study guides.
Because the SAT tends to be very complicated and detailed as an exam and so most study guides tend to almost TRY to reflect this in the complex layout of their books. This study guide is different from all the rest, as it has a simple layout, a brief introduction with some oh-so-useful tips for both English and Math sections and then it divides each English section into the 3 sections within it (1 analogies; 1 definitions; 1 sentence completion etc) and the same with the Math.
After each of the 6 sections it has practice questions. Then at the end it has 3 practice SAT papers.
This is great; it's really well laid out and it's concise. There's no complicated language to get past from the author (the SAT's language is difficult enough!) and it's not as bulky and long and off-putting as other SAT guides, which are often more difficult than the exam itself. If you need a top grade, there's no book better than this one.

Summary: Best SAT prep ever written
Comment: This is a great book that makes studying for the SAT fun. Weused it in Mom's Home SAT Prep Course. 20 days before the test, my11th grader read one chapter per night. After she read each chapter,she had to sit down with me and explain the chapter. We went over eachsample problem and the tips. Each night, it took her about half anhour to read the book and half an hour to explain it to me. She alsotook 2 sample SAT exams from the book. She scored only about 1150 onthe practice SATs in the book but on the real SAT, she scored 1320 --and we attribute a lot of it to the help of SAT for Dummies! The best$... we ever spent. Ideal for kids who have good vocabulary and mathskills and simply need to learn the sneaky tricks of the SAT. And momor dad, after this kind of prep course, even YOU could take the SAT!

Summary: Too many errors
Comment: My son and a friend are in the other room right now, taking the practice test. I'm dreading grading them because you can't trust that the answers in the book are right! Too bad it's too late for me to go out and get 2 different books. Just fyi, here are the mistakes we found (2002 edition)
1. Pg. 288, #11 (Answer should be A)
2. Pg. 125, top problem (She wrote + then multiplied.)
3. Pg. 188, the problem has many typos (Should be (1/(1/x))+1=11
