****** Good find and contains extremely useful strategies August 7, 2008 Good find...I always suggest Gruber's books for my students studying for standardized tests such as the SAT. His material is extremely useful and his strategies are not to be without.
I noticed new additions to this 12th edition book which make it even better than the last 11th Edition. For example the "Hot Prefixes and Roots" which gives you a real easy way to learn some of his important prefixes and roots and which will get you the meaning of lots of important words.
1. The math section is great with good explanations. I also like how the book contains many practice examples in each math strategy section. The tests have a good balance of types of questions and challenging problems.
2. The verbal section is very good and covers so many vocab. words. Specifically, the prefix and roots sub-sections are very helpful to teach students. Students can learn without having to memorize each word!!
3. The grammar and essay sections are very comprehensive. The section could contain a little more essay examples and samples but hopefully other Gruber books will come out soon, even a standalone writing book. I feel like it contains so many rules the book could be used as a grammar book by itself.
Great book!!
Very useful guide with great features August 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was thrilled to see the 2009 version of Gruber's Complete SAT Guide. I have used his books for decades with outstanding results with my students. His new additions to the 2009 version like the "Gruber Hot Prefixes and Roots" (which give you the meaning of over 110,000 words) is excellent and a great way to learn the important prefixes and roots of words. Also his "Words Commonly Mistaken for Each Other" is a great addition. The additions to the Math Refresher and strategy sections are also particularly useful. I was also happy to see that the "101 Most Important Math Questions You Need To Know" is now keyed to the specific sections in the Complete Math Refresher section. His books get better and better and I can't wait to have my students use this 12th Edition.
Review of Gruber's SAT book: 5 Stars July 28, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
So...at first I was a little hesitant to switch books for my tutoring class, but this summer I conducted a thorough review of many of the SAT books on the market. I decided to classify my findings here on amazon.
Gruber's books I rated as 5 stars because of the following: 1.Great content including easy to advanced questions for all sections of the exam. 2.Easy to follow examples with thorough answer explanations. 3.Math sections covering all concepts with lots of practice problems. 4."Like real" exams with explanations to all questions (unlike some of the books I reviewed that only give the answer but no explanation). 5.New writing section with entire grammar and writing sections
What pushed me over the edge to 5 stars: the unique critical thinking skills included in the book that teach lessons beyond the SAT test. Great book.
Recommended by other parent and love it! July 25, 2008 A friend of mine recommended I use this book and it has really helped improve my child's math skills. Her score went up over 200 points!! The new 2009 guide had everything she needed including new practice exams and extra grammar skills. Recommend.
Excellent book from high school teacher July 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been searching to use a book for my high school class on the SAT and this has been the best book I have used. I love the examples and real practice tests. The vocab section and grammer cover so many points. Highly recommened for any student preping for the SAT or wanting to boost their critical thinking skills.
