Critical Reading Workbook for the SAT (Critical Reading Workbook for the Sat) 4 reviews
Sharon Weiner Green, Mitchel Weiner
Barron's Educational Series, 2006
It has everything it's supposed to: not too much nor too little
A very adequate Book!
This book covers various types of questions for the Reading sectoin and the Writing section. It has lots and lots of practice for reading section but could have more for writing (the practice tests on the back can cover that).
It breaks down the reading section into two sections for each type of questions: Sentence completion and Reading. It has all the information you ...

Kaplan GRE Math Workbook, Sixth Edition 18 reviews
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2007
Not as comprehensive as I expected it to be.
If you're looking for a book to prep you for the quantitative section of the GRE, this workbook by Kaplan is not a comprehensive prep book. I personally found Barron's to be the best guide in helping me with the Math section of the GRE. I bought this book thinking it would a good practice book, but I found it to be average and the practice questions are much easier than the questions I found on ...

Kaplan GRE Exam 2009 Premier Program (w/ CD-ROM) (Kaplan Gre Exam (Book & CD-Rom))1 review
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2008
Very Good Resource for GRE Prep
This book is all you need to prep for the Verbal exam. I made flashcards out of the top 200 GRE words listed and defined in the back of this book. Then I read the test-taking tips and - voila - my Verbal scores were right where I wanted them to be. If, like me, you haven't taken a math class in years, then you will need some additional materials. I used Basic Mathematics by Bittinger, then ...

Understanding by Design, Expanded 2nd Edition25 reviews
Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe
Prentice Hall, 2005
Good info, a little redundant
I used this book as part of a graduate level class. The book is quite informative and gives great ideas on how to teach for results instead of just covering necessary material. Basically, it tells teachers to start with goals, then work backward to the introduction and teaching of the material. There are other similar strategies out there, but this is very specific as to curriculum design. It ...

GRE: Practicing to Take the General Test 10th Edition (Practicing to Take the Gre General Test)84 reviews
Educational Testing Service
Ets/Educational Testing Service, 2002
Accurate practice tests
This book, published by the makers of the GRE, is one of the better GRE review books available. The reading passages, in particular, are great practice for the real thing. The one key difference, of course, is that the real test is on the computer, but practice with these paper tests can still be very helpful. I wish the AWA section was a bit longer. In fact, I ended up using AWA practice ...

Math Workbook for the New SAT (Barron's Math Workbook for the Sat I)3rd Edition14 reviews
Lawrence S. Leff
Barron's Educational Series, 2005
One of two great resources for improving your SAT Math Score
I'm an SAT tutor that actually takes the SAT three times a year. This is a great book and I wish all my students had the discipline to use it. The complaint from the other SAT tutor is not relevant to the objective of raising your score (which if you are scoring in the 500's can easily go up 100 points if you use this book in conjunction with the eight practice tests in the College Board ...

11 Practice Tests for the SAT and PSAT, 2008 (College Test Prep)12 reviews
Princeton Review
Princeton Review, 2007
Excellent Study Guide
I took the SAT back in fall and came back with the egregious score of 1800, so I began studying. I weighed my options and picked this book. The reasons were: the explanations after every section more than suffice to understand why I missed the question; the math section is very comparable to the actual exam, using the same tricky wording and problems; also the reading selections I found quite ...

Barron Test Preparation
I have prepared students for the PSAT, SAT, ACT and have used Barron preparation all the way back to the 1980s. I use various other manuals and software, but my students tell me that the Barron is the quality preparation they need. It is more difficult than many of the resources and better enables them to score well. There is abundant testing material, answers well explained, the built-in flash ...

Cracking the SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Prep)8 reviews
Princeton Review
Princeton Review, 2007
Handy preparation
Pretty good and straightforward review to prepare you for the SAT II Math. I started using this as a study guide a week before the test, and it helped very much. I'm currently taking Calculus, so Precal (most of Level 2 Math) and other subjects were forgotten. This book helped me remember and review many mathematical concepts, such as the arithmetic/geometric sequences, sum of sequences, and ...

Wow--has this evolved from first book
Remarkable life-tool for better home interactions and outstanding for the workplace. If we were all taught the principles of this book we would have better interactions throughout our life walk. This book defines even further each of the temperaments-- it is a bit technical for a novice beginner in the big pool of life--but just read through and over passages--look up terms your not familiar ...

Kaplan GRE Exam Verbal Workbook, Fifth Edition 1 review
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2007
Many repeated practice questions from the Premier edition.
If you already own the Kaplan Premier edition for the GRE, then don't waste your money buying this as many of the questions for the verbal component are repeated in here. Though I found the opposite drills useful, most of the other drills were only average and I personally preferred Barron's GRE coverage of the verbal component. By itself, this would be good if you don't already own the Premier ...
