Excellent book
When I recieved the book, I felt like the book was too small to contain so much information. But now I feel like I've accomplished a lot!
<br />The book is very helpful in every espect and it doesn't JUST help in SATs but also in writing an essay in high school.
<br />I love this book. I think everyone who is taking the SAT should have a go and try this book. ^^
<br />This was my first time buying something from Amazon and I'm very proud of myself for having a go. I love the books and the books were delivered fast and on the right date, the books are in fine state... I just love it.

Increase Your Score in 3 DAYS!
I, being a normal adolescent, tend to procrastinate. As the SAT was looming over me and steadily approaching in a week's time, I quickly searched for a quick and easy lifesaver and chose this book. 3 days before the big day, I scoured the contents and followed the tips. The result? A perfect score on the essay (which is odd considering I'm a terrible writer--thus I attribute my good grade to this book.)
<br />
<br />Now this isn't the "end all be all" to SAT essay books, but you do have to realize no book can really "teach" people how to write. Good writing comes from a combination of guidelines and tips (which this book provides), reading what the graders are looking for and "good" essays (which this book provides), and most importantly, practice (which only you can provide).
