IMPROVED VOCABULARY

Helped me to prepare for the exam. I tried taking sample tests in some review books, but ended up turning to the cards first for review, then those sample tests were easier to tackle. The vocabulary section was really helpful. Some of the words I learned came up on the exam, and as a separate bonus my reading comprehension and working vocabulary in general have improved. I've tried to add these "well-educated" words to my every day speech which sometimes annoys my friends but impresses anyone over thirty!

Nice way to learn new vocab

The only suggestion I would make is that Kaplan incorporates the "underlined" words in the main text as well, the same way it incorporates the "bolded" words. It gets annoying to have to flip to the back every time you encounter an "underlined" word with which you are not familiar. A little too advanced for my 9-year-old although she did manage to finish it (with a bit of prodding). It would be great and highly entertaining for high school students.

Not suited for Math IIC but Good for Contest Math

This book is not what it claims to be: most problems are not intended for the SAT II at all. Instead, it's geared toward math competitions and that's why it's extremely hard. I was able to get 50/50 on most of these tests but it wasn't really for the SAT II. Some problems are just wrong - for example, on one problem the solution uses the number 18 in the answer but the problem statement adds an extra '0' (into 108) which is pretty innocent. Just ignore it and move on.
It's good practice in problem solving, and will prepare you well.

700+ SAT/SAT II Scores ARE Possible

(...)

Do books like this help? When I attended a decent public high school, we were told that outside preparation was a good way to spend a lot of time and money on statistically insignificant returns. This doesn't bother private high school students I've met recently. I don't know if preparation has improved, or if the "cost" side of cost/benefit inhibits them less. Familiarity with the format and grounding in tactics has got to be worth something.

I think Lance Armstrong likes to ride the course before the Tour de France starts. His margin of victory is statistically insignificant, but it seems to work for him.

In rebuttal to another reviewer's comments: You *can* improve your ability to write essays (assuming there's room for improvement to begin with). I'm coaching a student whose essays just improved dramatically after she studied the tactics recommended by the Princeton book (e.g. add some literary or historical references). Of course some essay topics are easy to get one's teeth into, others are intractable, and we can't tell how she'll feel about the one the test puts in front of her--but she has a better template to work with than she did before.

Not bad, eh? I think I tossed this together in 20 minutes or less, with an illustrative reference to sports! I've had more practice than my student, but improvement is possible!

Finally, a SAT novel that has a tough vocabulary

My Mom bought me five different SAT novels and after reading all of them, I can say that this was the only one that had a lot of vocabulary words that I didn't already know. This book was filled with hard words and didn't waste my time with words I knew back in fifth grade. I liked the tricky twosomes section in the back that points out the difference between similar sounding words like "aesthetic and ascetic" and "inimical and inimitable" and "ingenious and ingenuous". This was a great way to learn the really hard words.
