I bought this book for my kid because it was recommended on mysterytutor.com, and I have to say I'm glad I did. The questions are different from what he was working on before, which was one of the Barron's books, just like the guy on the mystery tutor site said they would be. It just makes sense to use real questions to get ready for the test, especially when it's an important one.

Some other reviewers have written about how the book doesn't provide solutions, and I agree that that's a problem, but if you go to the mystery tutor's forums you can get all of those solutions for free, so that way you can still use this book of real questions and not have to go with some other company's fake questions, but still have explanations.

The book is full of real practice questions ... Read More

2.CLEP Official Study Guide 2009 (Clep Official Study Guide) by: The College Board

The book that the clep website recomends is also available on their web site to down load a .pdf file for free. It dosn't give any more information than the web site offers and down loading is even debatable. Had I realized this prior to buying the book from amazon, (no offense Amazon, We love you guys), I would have saved 25 bucks + shipping.

I bought this as a 17th birthday present for my granddaughter. She seemed pleased to get it but I personally know nothing about the content so don't feel qualified to review it.

The Official Study Guide for all SAT Subject Tests isn't a study guide at all, as is the case with most if not all of College Board's study guide publications. This book includes only one previously administered test per subject area, which isn't adequate enough to determine the knowledge you have mastered in the subject. The exams themselves must be at least several years old, and the conversion charts reflect the performance of past years; test writers change over time as well as student competitiveness. The part that probably ticks people off the most is that NO answer explanation is included. Because this is the only SAT Subject Test book published by the actual test writing company, many have no choice but to buy this. Just because there are no other publications of previously administered exams ... Read More

Was exactly what I hoped it to be, Full of questions for practice, Albeit a bit short compared to the other SAT books(only 200 pages) I think that is still a fair bit of amount. for its price it was a great buy.

I am doing college counseling this year for the first time. I'm working with this college guide and the Princeton Review guide. The difficult thing to get used to in this guide is that it is arranged by state. That's not necessarily bad, but cumbersome if you're looking up a school and aren't sure where it is located. That one issue keeps my hand reaching for the Princeton Review guide. This guide does have a very good section devoted solely to 2-year schools, which I will find quite useful.

A necessary resource when searching for colleges. Information is concise and to the point. Coverage seems exhaustive, but the omission of Rutgers in New Jersey is curious.

This publication is an essential reference in applying for financial aid at US colleges. It tells the prospective student how to apply and lists 1000's of available scholarships. Indexing could be improved. Scholarships are listed alphabetically by state. There is no index to type of scholarship.
