Guide Review - Crash Course for the New SAT
The Princeton Review is the nation's largest SAT prep company and has helped students score higher on the SAT for more than 20 years. One of their latest SAT guidebooks is Crash Course for the New SAT: The Last-Minute Guide to Scoring High on the New Test.
Unlike most SAT prep books, this book is tiny. However, you shouldn't let the size fool you. Each of the ten chapters in Crash Course for the New SAT is filled with test taking strategies that can boost your score and make it easier to answer the many confusing and misleading questions that commonly appear on the SAT.
Everything from grammar to math to essay writing is covered. The book also includes more than 100 practice questions that you can try out to gauge how well you understood the book's lessons. The best part about this is that the book tells you the answer a page or two later and details the reasons why it is the right answer.
Regular SAT books can be really large and cumbersome. I think readers will enjoy the compact size of Crash Course for the New SAT, especially if they are studying on the go. It will take approximately ten hours to cover the book from front to back.
I highly recommend this guide to anyone who wants a higher SAT score and to anyone who has left their studying to the last minute.
