Textbook Description
In March 2005, the College Board will begin to administer a new SAT®. To help prepare all students for the new SAT and college success(tm), the College Board introduces:

* The Official SAT Study Guide: For the New SAT(tm)

Here’s the successor to the College Board’s #1 best seller 10 Real SAT®s. This new book is the only one with practice tests created by the test maker according to proprietary new SAT specifications. With the book’s 700+ pages and 21 chapters, students:

* Gain experience by taking 8 practice tests and receiving estimated scores.
* Raise confidence by reviewing concepts, test-taking approaches, and practice questions.
* Increase understanding of the new PSAT/NMSQT® and the new SAT. Plus, book buyers receive free online score reports and a discount on The Official SAT Online Course(tm) with auto essay scoring.

# Changes to the new SAT include: The name of the current SAT verbal section will be changed to critical reading, analogies will be eliminated and short reading passages will be added to existing long reading passages.
# A new section called the SAT writing section will be added, which will contain multiple-choice grammar and usage questions and a student- written essay.
# The SAT math section will be expanded to include topics from third-year college- preparatory math (also known as Algebra II); in addition, quantitative comparisons will be eliminated from this section. The Official SAT Study Guide: For the New SAT is part of the College Board’s new SAT Readiness Program(tm) of print, online, and professional development resources.

SAT Study Guide Review
I am a verbal SAT tutor for the past 26 years. Here is my formula for success, and it is the reason that people pay me an insane amount of money to work with their kids. Step #1 — Get the Barron’s SAT book first. Do every test. Read the answer explanations carefully. Step #2 — Get this book. Take the 8 practice tests, sitting straight through for each exam, 4 hours with the break. This book is easier than Barrons, so you should feel an improvement when you take these real tests. Get the book HOT WORDS FOR THE SAT by Linda Carnevale, and learn a few chapters each week. Good luck on the exam!!

I bought this book for my kid because it was recommended on mysterytutor.com, and I have to say I’m glad I did. The questions are different from what he was working on before, which was one of the Barron’s books, just like the guy on the mystery tutor site said they would be. It just makes sense to use real questions to get ready for the test, especially when it’s an important one. Some other reviewers have written about how the book doesn’t provide solutions, and I agree that that’s a problem, but if you go to the mystery tutor’s forums you can get all of those solutions for free, so that way you can still use this book of real questions and not have to go with some other company’s fake questions, but still have explanations. The book is full of real practice questions just like it says it is, and it’s the only book of practice questions you should be using! Get it and don’t think twice.
