My son read this book and enjoyed it. He is 16 years old and he does not usually read a lot of books unless required. He stated that this book was funny and he feels it will be helpful when taking the SAT test. Get this book for your child to read and they will not complain about reading it like other prep books. There were some errors in the book, but the author mentions them on his site at www.eliotschrefer so it's all good.

My son looks forward to reading other books by the author, since he has a very interesting writing style.

This book is truly a mixed bag. On one hand, it's funny, easy to read, and contains some smart tips. On the other hand, it contains very few examples and some embarrassing errors, which caused me to question its accuracy.

I applaud the author for writing a concise SAT guide that is accessible to the typical student. However, I would strongly advise readers to use this book in conjunction with the College Board's own preparation guides. On its own, this book does not provide adequate background material - or examples - for the average reader.

I'm a youth services librarian and am constantly being asked for SAT review books. They are traditionally tedious and painful - somewhat like the test itself. This is such a relief - there is so much angst involved in this process and this book takes a lighthearted approach that is appreciated by all. This is not just my adult view - I have shown this book to the kids themselves - my own daughter actually laughed reading passages aloud comparing them to her own experience with the test. Laughing about the SATs? Works for me - I ordered it for my library and have recommended it to other librarians.

Thank God for Eliot Schrefer! A concise, student-friendly, INTELLIGENT approach to a test considered far more daunting than it truly is! Schrefer offers the type of reassurance only an excellent teacher can provide. STUDENTS TAKE NOTICE: This book has what you need to get a great score. SAT BEWARE: you have been HACKED!

Having taught SAT preparatory courses myself, l was so glad to find this book. Mr. Schrefer has finally given us a clear guide that is free of the useless hype and silliness that plagues so many other guides and courses. Schrefer shows the SAT test for what it is, an exam that every student can do well on if given the proper preparation and reassurance.

CONGRATULATIONS, MR. SCHREFER ON FINALLY GIVING STUDENTS A SUCCINCTLY WRITTEN GUIDE THAT CUTS THROUGH THE SUPPOSED "MYSTERY" OF THIS EXAM.

High school students, this is a guide that you'll give you what you need to get that great score. Parents, this is a book that will make at least one part of the college process a lot easier on everyone!
