Read this if you want your hopes dashed

I don't recommend this book unless you are willing to be disillusioned as you prepare for this important test. The authors claim that most test prep doesn't work as advertised (I agree with this claim) and then go on to tell you how to do better on the test , with of course, more accurate expectations. ( To read my opinion on this issue read the last paragraph of this review.) The authors one good tip for writing test preparation is to do practice tests in 20 minutes instead of 25. If you practice that way you will learn to write faster and be that more confident when you take the real test.

In my experience teaching and tutoring SAT classes I have actually seen dramatic jumps in scores on practice tests for the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the test. All those I tutored improved, and only those who came to class over time so that I could teach and re-teach the same concepts and give coaching and feedback improved. I often think that most SAT tutoring and test prep doesn't work because the person doing the teaching/tutoring hasn't actually figured out how the test works. Instead, they teach a standardized curriculum. What I do is teach the students to think like the test-maker and I create new methods as I teach so that students gain understanding of the underlying principles. As a result they are able to consistently improve.

The best Korean language text with `learner-friendly' concept!

This book is the best Korean language text I have ever known. As a parent of two kids, teaching Korean to American born kids is one of the hardest jobs. After many trial and errors, I finally meet the right text. I find this book most useful, handy, and comprehensive. Above all, we can find `learner-friendly' concept through this text as if we find `user-friendly' in MS Windows. I find my kids more easily approach Korean words and repeat them in natural ways. Moreover, the companion CD helps my kids repeat the chapters they learn while they are in cars. Well, I strongly recommend this book. If you buy this book, you don't need to hire Korean language teacher. Save your money!

Extremely Helpful and Well Organized

I purchased this book for my mother who recently learned she has breast cancer. She loves the book and was immediately able to use it to help her through her surgery and post-operative treatment (i.e., which vitamins to take, etc.). The book does a great job of explaining known risk factors for breast cancer and gives concise information on steps to take to reduce your risk (diet, exercise, herbs, vitamins, spiritual, lifestyle, etc.). I liked the book so much I purchased my own copy and have been recommending it to friends.

Good intro, bad study guide.

Full of errors, their math just doesn't, "add up." For example, a practice question on page 49 asks; what ar the common factors of 48 and 36? Their provided answer, "c. the common factors are 1,2,3,6, and 12. In addition to plain errors what I find most annoying is the sparse and at times absent explanation of the steps taken to arrive at a particular answer.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS AVAILABLE FOR ANY KIND OF TEST PREP!

Now a graduate student at National University, I can highly recommend Lisa Muehle's SAT books for examination preparation. The strategies and practice examples employed in her books were fully applicable to CLEP exams and CBEST exams, which I passed with flying colors! Familiarizing myself with the exam styles and strategies represented in her books gave me a confident `edge' going into the exam rooms. I strongly suggest that any student facing `high-stakes' academic examinations avail themselves of the test training and review offered in Muehle's SAT books.

A Sanskrit proverb says, “If you breathe well, you will live long on Earth.” That’s because breathing is the key to well-being; done properly, it can boost energy, relieve pain, and transform our lives. The Power of Breath teaches us pay attention to this vital process and breathe mindfully. The beautifully illustrated, authoritative, and accessible guide covers all five types of breathing in the Eastern tradition, each related to a particular prana or life-force. More than 30 exercises come complete with step-by-step photographs, and there’s a selection of programs to target common health problems and to enhance skills, including singing, speaking, and sports.

fantastic reference bio book

Thanks for writing this book. This is a useful reference for preparing for SAT II Biology. The ecology section I especially liked. I also found useful, The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: key review quesions and answers with explanations. This had really good review questions.
Also I found useful,Campbell's Biology. This text was hard sometimes to read but definitely worth the effort.

Busted

I had to read this book for my S.A.T. class and it realy helped me with the vocabulary. Not only was it an educating book but it was very interesting and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Even though it has many difficult vocab. words it was very easy to understand because the vocab. words are in bold and defined at the bottom of the page. I recommend this book to anyone who needs some help with their S.A.T. vocabulary.

Terrific for beginners

As a knitter of only 6 months, I found The Weekend Crafter to be very easy to follow and encouraging of personal creativity. Once you know how to do the basics: knit, purl, increase, decrease and weave in ends, you can easily complete any of the projects in this book and add your own flair if you so choose. My only complaint is that Ms. Ham only put 20 patterns in the book. Most of them are very nice and I wish there were more.

Rave New World review

In my own opinion I found this book very troublesome to read. However the plethora of vocabulary words used in this book are utilizable. I recommend this book to any student planning on doing good on the SAT. Overall it is not a book that is usually read for leisure, it can help someone on the SAT test a great deal.
