Summary: THE BEST BOOK FOR THE SAT's
Review: This is an absolute MUST for anyone who will be taking the SAT's... its fun and easy to read. I read it the first time in less than 24 hours. Then I read it several more times and memorized parts of it. Her tips and tricks are great when there is "1 minute to pencils down." This book not only taught me a thing or two, it calmed my nerves and improved my score almost 200 points. I took the SAT's 4 years ago and I recommend this book to everyone that asks how I got a 1500... Good Luck. Thanks Suzee!

Summary: Don't buy this book
Review: Unless you have never seen an SAT before in your entire life, this book is completely worthless. I bought it mainly for the practical advice I hoped it would contain; I was, however, sorely disappointed. The book is juvenile, uninformative, and riddled with mistakes, especially in the practice tests. The "tips" Vlk hands out are dubious at best. I've taken the SAT officially 4 times, and I've taken numerous practice tests over the years, and nothing Vlk says is at all innovative or interesting. Stick with 10 Real SATs
