500+ Practice Questions for the New SAT: Created for the Redesigned 2016 Exam (College Test Preparation) Csm Edition

Good book, easier for kids to follow. My son who is in elementary was able to follow everything in the book and do the problem/check answers by himself. He seems acceptable to this book.

excellent source of information & easy to use

Great book to get your kid before the test. Get it in 10th grade and by the time 11th and 12th grade come, will do great on the SAT Test

A very helpful tool in studying for the new SAT. The questions are exactly what you need to be adequately prepared. For rising Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors, this book is a must if you want to get a good grade.

This book is okay but not great. It is organized by topics but not like the SAT. Was originally among the first books out there and therefore seemed like it was the "best" but given what is out there now, I would not recommend it.

As a tutor, I have to give this book just a B, only because it lacked a lot of the teaching pts found in Kaplan and other review books. However, PR was one of the first to come out with the 2016 new ed (not many other options at the time), and for the low price, you really can't go wrong getting it (possibly as a supplemental to other materials, if you need a lot of review). My main issue is that it is very limited in how much it explains, but it is concise. I do strongly believe the key to improving SAT scores is practice on mult choice questions that are very similar to the actual SAT, which this book provides in droves.

Great book. shipped quickly and is an easy read for students.

Here are some specific comments that might help you if you're thinking of buying this book:1) I like the layout and ease of use. The drills seem to match what the College Board has released in their 4 practice tests.2) The book clearly went to press before some changes were made by the College Board. It includes information that is not up-to-date (e.g. they reference a 4-point Extended Thinking question which the College Board is not going to use. They will still have some Item Sets, but each question is worth 1 point.)3) I think they overuse their Plugging In and PITA strategies. Although a few questions (2-3) in the practice tests released by the College Board could be solved this way, this book solved every single contextual question in the Heart of Algebra Drill 3 this way. It is clearly not the fastest way to answer these questions, especially if they appear in the No Calculator section of the test. Also, they explained the strategies using questions that look more like the old SAT. They did, at least, also say you could solve the questions algebraically and offered a (weak) explanation.4) In the introduction, they mention that the math test will be divided into a Calculator and No-Calculator section, but they make absolutely no distinction as to which questions in the practice drills might wind up where, until the very last domain - Additional Topics in Math.5) The explanations are a bit weak - no real strategies, but rather just the basic steps to arriving at the answer. I don't think this would help my granddaughter who struggles with math.6) There is no mention of the Formula page in the math sections. Students need to be reminded that the formulas are given on the test and that they should refer to it rather than trying to memorize all the formulas.7) There are VERY few Grid-In questions to practice.8) I think every SAT practice book should come with at least one full-length practice test and a scoring guide, even if the scores are only an estimate.
