Guide Review - Cracking the SAT

Every year, The Princeton Review provides new prep books to help students prepare for the SAT and other standardized tests. Their latest edition, Cracking the SAT, is more than just a prep book; it is a test-taking method.

The Princeton Review has created a system of strategies and techniques that are meant to teach test-takers how to beat the SAT. Readers will learn new ways to approach and answer SAT questions.

To help you apply your newly acquired knowledge, Cracking the SAT also includes SAT practice questions and answers. To avoid any confusion, each answer also contains a full explanation of how the answer was derived. The back of the book also contains three full-length SAT practice tests that you can take, along with links to personalized scoring reports.

When you purchase Cracking the SAT, you also receive free access to interactive test prep tools on The Princeton Review's website. Log on and you'll also find SAT practice drills, performance analysis, and much more.

I would recommend Cracking the SAT and The Princeton Review's system to anyone who needs SAT preparation. If used properly, the book will help you achieve a better score on the SAT test.
