In fact , they tend to be far from excellent. In this review , we will examine Kaplan's 2015 book SAT for its strengths and weaknesses. Why trust this exam? When you receive advice on the Internet , it is important to understand why you should believe the advice you are receiving. Because your SAT score is important , follow the wrong advice , and it might be too late to improve your score. To be transparent , here's why you might be able to trust this review more than others: I like to think I know what I'm talking about. I got two perfect grades at the SAT and I personally worked with thousands of students who got ready for the SAT. I've worked with students at all levels , from people at a level of 1200 to people aiming for a 2300 euros. Other writers often don't have the expertise to tell the difference between books , and they recommend books after the fact (and you can probably tell) . I don't get paid for these recommendations , and I don't get paid if you buy those books. I have studied dozens of books for SAT preparation , and I criticize the books I encounter. Other sites, about.com and [reviews.com, are paid to present books and get a bounce when you buy a book they recommend.

Kaplan SAT Prep Book Review When I consider the quality of a book , I think of some important questions: Who is the author , and what is his experience with the subject? How effective is the book , and why? What are the main pros and cons of t he book? About Kaplan If you've been researching the preparation of SAT , you've probably heard of Kaplan. One of the sat's first preparation programs , Kaplan has built a reputation for being able to SAT students' scores while the College Board of Directors argued that it was impossible to prepare for the SAT. Unfortunately , since its heyday in the 20th century , Kaplan has taken a huge fall. His classes are consistently considered bad , and his preparation books tend to receive bad grades. In a sense , his success was his downfall. Because it is a consumer company , it needs to cater to a large number of students. To reduce costs , instead of adapting the programs to different students , students , for the lowest common denominator. This means that it provides many students with sub par experiences , just like most Kaplan SAT books. The specific authors of this book are not clear , but they are probably writers inhouse at Kaplan. So it's hard to judge the authors' references , but you can guess that they're probably not superbly impressive. How effective is the Book?
