Summary: The real way to "crack" the SAT? PRACTICE!!!
Comment: If you want gimmicks and tricks to guess your way through the SAT, don't buy this book. If you're ready to actually do the work necessary to earn a score that reflects your true ability, then 10 Real SATs is for you. The book does give sound advice on strategies to use on each type of question, but its real strength lies in having just what its title says: real questions from actual tests. I have used this book to teach SAT prep with great results, by emphasizing that there are no magic bullets to earning a good SAT score: it comes from hard work and practice. 10 Real SATs gives students the ability to focus their energy on the right questions and under time pressure similar to what they would find in a test situation by timing themselves while taking a real SAT. No other book gives students that.

Summary: Does what it is *supposed* to do.
Comment: I bought this book because I needed to practice from *real* SAT's, and that's *all* I bought this book for. It does everything that it says (Title itself says 95% of this book's purpose). I wasn't expecting that College Board or ETS would be giving away their tricks that they so much try to "protect" from students. And I was right, they didn't.
This book has the ten real SAT's from around 1994 to 1997 and answers and how to score them and all. It also has test taking stuff, a _little_ bit indepth than what they say on the test booklet itself. Tricks mainly include stuff like Guess if you can eliminate at least one choice, Pick numbers in Math problems, etc. Basic stuff, nothing big.
GET THIS BOOK *IF*... you're looking for practice, this is a *great* book to get. And that's the *only* reason to get this book--practice.
DO *NOT* GET THIS BOOK IF... you're looking for a full-blown prep for the SAT. I find "Complete Preperation for the New SAT" by Dr. Gary R. Gruber to be the best, and I've tried many "popular" books from the library like Kaplan, Princeton Rewiew, and Arco (a lot better than Kaplan and Prineton Rewiew). Gruber's book has no "quick" fixing, instead a sure way. Thats what I think is important--a sure way than a trick or something that might get you the answer...
In conclusion, get this if you need practice, don't get it if you need full blown SAT Prep.

Summary: Don't even think of giving the SAT without reading this book
Comment: To do well in anything you need practise, and this book gives you all the practise you need for the SAT. Unlike other books in the market, this book's got REAL SAT questions.
Try to do all the tests in this book. Take the tests under real exam conditions. I first got a 1360 in the SAT, after studying this book I improved by 180 points.
This book gave me a lot of confidence which is the key to doing well in a test. I knew what exactly to expect on the day of the test. I knew that the questions were taken directly from real exams and if I could solve them here, I could solve them in the exam.
You would get to know in advance how you would in the SAT if you have taken the tests properly. In fact my performance on the SAT was better than on the tests.
However, this book lacks extensive practise for the individual sections and a vocabulary builder. I would suggest you to buy the Barron's book along with this one. Don't do the tests from Barron's. Only do the ones on this book and with a lot of practise and hard work you are sure to do well on the SAT.
