I bought this book for my daughter. The best thing it does is take the fear out of the SAT's. (I ended up reading it too - it's a really funny book!) There are tips you won't get anywhere else, from how and when to guess to what to wear on test day. Very engagingly written, almost makes the SATs fun.
