Increase Your Score in 3 Minutes a Day: SAT Critical Reading

Summary: Better than Kaplan...
Review: I paid more than $800 to attend a Kaplan course to prepare for the SAT and PSAT and I came out of it feeling like I had wasted my money. For any sane student who has more to do than flip through thousands of pages of nonsense this is the book for you. At first I felt that preparing for the SAT would be more difficult, but if you follow what the authors tell you, you will see almost immediate progress. For a money conscious person like me, I especially enjoy the multiple applications of this book, which means that it won't be sitting on the shelf after I get into college. I will definately use this book to help me in my writing in the future. A reasonable study program that won't bore you to death, What more can anyone ask?

Summary: Definitely Worth Your While
Review: The SAT Essay and SAT Critical Reading books made me feel like it was actually possible to be successful in my test taking. Whereas the other study guides and test prep books I used did more intimidating than teaching, these books lay out what you need to know in a straight forward, easy-to-understand format. Forget all the fluff and lengthy explanations that are more trouble than they're worth. If you have four hours to spend studying for standardized tests every night for the next 3months, good for you. If you are a busy high school student who wants to do well on the SAT or ACT, and have a life as well, these books will do the trick. Oh yeah, they're really funny too.
