Book Reviews of Barron's PSAT/NMSQT 2008 (Barron's How to Prepare for the Psat Nmsqt Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test)
Book Review: Good practice, but frustrating....
Summary: 3 Stars
This thing seemed to have it all - practice questions, exams, vocab, tactics, etc. However, this book is WAY harder than any of the other books(including the official PSAT booklet that you get when you pay/register for your exam) and the actual PSAT exam. I got a 197 as my highest score out of the 3 tests I took so far out of this book. However, I also have a 2008 edition of 11 SAT/PSAT practice tests from princeton, and I got a 219 out of that book. ??????????? although some people might argue that it'll "toughen you up" for the real PSAT, I think it just discourages students like me from studying harder and setting high initial goals. Also, there are no explanations whatsoever to the numerous practice reading exercises and it is very frustrating because I completely don't understand some of them; I could probably even argue with whoever wrote this book about a few questions. There actually are quite a few errors even in this 2006-2007 13th edition, so overall, I suggest getting a princeton or kaplans book. they seem to be much more supportive.
