Summary: Does what it says
Review: This book does what it says: it gives you one complete REAL SAT II test on every single subject EXCEPT Biology and Korean. Since many people take the Bio E/M test these days, this book is marred by the fact that it doesn't have a complete Bio E/M test (only half and not "REAL") and they seem to be easier than the actual test I took. But otherwise, on all the other subjects, this book gives you a test that was actually used before. Plus, it gives you the scales for the particular tests, answers and difficulty of the question (no explanations though). If you are buying this book for the language SAT II's with listening, you can get the tapes for free by sending the attached postcard to College Board. You should get it because the price you paid for the book includes the tapes and if you don't have the tapes you can't do the listening tests. Request beforehand since they take a few weeks to ship. These book gives you the confirmation of whether you know the stuff or not after you finish your study program. From then on you can work on your weak spots or sit back and relax as you've done well on the practice (don't get too cocky though =) as the SAT 2 tests change slowly but gradually over time, and so the practice might be considerably different from the one you actually take). Take this from someone who's got 800 on two SAT 2 tests, and 790, 770, 740, 730, and 700 on 5 others. Oh and one more thing: before each test, there's a brief description with an outline of the topics tested and several sample questions of each question type for the specific subject. For the writing test, there is a sample topic and 6 essays with the 6 different scores on that topic (this topic is NOT the one on the REAL test--so you get 2 topics in the book for practice!)

Summary: This is GREAT!
Review: This book is excellent. I wouldn't use it until you have reviewed completely though since there is only one test per subject. Thanks to this wonderful book, I received a 70 pt increase on my Biology SAT II and an 800 on the SAT II World History. However, I found out that preparation for the SAT II: Bio E/M is not a good reason to buy. There is only a small mini-test, as with the Korean. Prep for other tests is great and writing has two tests.

Summary: Doesn't live up to 10 Real SATS
Review: This book while providing one example of each SAT II subject test is not nearly as comprehensive nor as useful as 10 Real SATs. With so many tests in one edition, there is little information on each test. Also, with only one practice test per subject, after you familiarize yourself with the types of questions you're already out of practice material. I don't recommend buying it, but if you're going to take the regular SATs I definately reccommend 10 Real SATs for your review.

Summary: This is GREAT!
Review: This is a great book. It is a wonderful creation and is great for test prep. Though it only contains one real SAT II per subject, it is very accurate.
