Barron's SAT 1600: Revised for the NEW SAT 5th Edition

Let me first say that this book is not only for those who have scored a 1400 or higher. Anyone who is willing to study the guide, and can at least obtain a 1200, Barron's SAT 1600 is the perfect book for you.The strategies and tips are lifesavers, and especially important for a fairly new test design. Many books have not adapted so well to the new format, and SAT 1600 is one of the exceptions. Even small but major changes, such as the new way vocabulary is tested, is covered in a specific section at the back of the book.The reading and writing sections are very well organized, and VERY helpful tips are scattered within the chapters to ensure a higher score.Personally, I can already get a fairly high score in the Math section; nevertheless, it is organized so I can easily sharpen my skills on certain topics.The practice test in the back is not perfect. The reading and writing sections were very accurate, but math could have had more 'real life situation' type questions. Just because of some minor discrepancies in one section, I will not take a whole star off. The SAT 1600 book is mainly meant for information, strategies and tips anyways. The best resource for practice tests is the New SAT book by College Board.Overall 4.9/5

I have tutored Mathematics and SAT Prep (for math only) for years. I found the book an excellent choice for the high acheiver (650+) still wanting to improve their mathematics score. I found no errors in the math sections, and I continue to recommend it to a small set of my SAT prep students.

As I read this monstrosity, I could literally feel my years of "contemporary classical (a paradox indeed)" education leeching from my brain. I'm not necessarily blaming Barron's, because how is one even supposed to prepare for the amorphous and fluffy distillation of "essential knowledge" that is the SAT, but long and haughty story short, I will be needing an IV drip of Tchaikovsky and GK Chesterton to restore my intelligence levels. Oh, and because I'm way to busy for that, I'm going to become a professional blithering idiot... excuse me... lololololololommgmmmmmggggggggg trololololollolooloklololololo XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD omg its lit bruh litttttt liiiittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt bruhhhh im finna get TURNT AF TURNT AF you already know waaaatt it is ay lmaaaooooo #YOLOSWAG (I'm available for hire starting from $15.00 hourly rate.)

Got this for my little brother and he says it's the best practice material out there for the new SAT. With so few materials out there for the new exam, and this being so valuable, it's really no brainer that you should get it.

Great book. Give lots of tips for improving and has lots of practice.

Got this for ny younger cousin

Do not buy this book. There are errors in the format and content of the answer key, some explanations of the answers are inadequate ("Choice B works"), and ambiguous questions.I tutor for the SAT, and had previously recommended Barron's to my students. It appears that Barron's rushed the book to press. Wait for revisions or choose another publisher.

good
