Summary: Wow! Spelling errors in a SAT prep book!
Review: The Sparknotes webpage is an excellent resource, so I figured their book on the SAT would be just as good. Nope. As it turns out, they know nothing about the SATs. I've taken a few practice SATs and know the feel for the real test, and Sparknotes does not prepare you. Its fill-in-the-blanks are incredibly hard, and not just in a challenging way. The real SAT will never have any questions like they do. If you crave hard questions that are like those on the test, get the Kaplan book SAT 1600. Also, in the Reading Comprehension section, the questions are ridiculously easy, which is not how the real SAT works. And then, there are numerous spelling errors, and literally a hundred words with no spaces. (e.g., howdo ) To top it all off, when referring to passages, it always gives the wrong line number. This completely ruins your test-taking experience, because you are forced to find the word or words yourself. Don't buy this book.

Summary: Useless, Horrible, and Filled with Typos!
Review: This book was filled with an unbelievable number of mistakes. On every test, it always gives wrong line numbers and misspells many, many, many words. Often (a few times a page) it forgets to leave spaces between words. There are no tables to convert your sample tests into SAT scores. And to top it off, the answer guide is often wrong. This was the worst $10 that I have ever spent. Save yourself money, don't buy this horrible book!
