Book Reviews of Cracking the SAT, 2009 Edition (College Test Preparation)
Book Review: The SAT
Summary: 5 Stars
The new SAT exam is geared toward the student who has
a good command of the English language, one who reads
details and excels in basic algebra, geometry and the
elements of pre-calculus. Rudimentary probability is tested
fairly.
This is a practical exam because college students must know
how to do all of the above. The better curricula emphasize
critical thinking and case study approaches that are data
driven.
Today's students are at somewhat of a disadvantage because
the high schools tend to assign "junk reading" rather than
high quality literature. "Junk reading" is laden with
colloquial language and is devoid of superior vocabulary
development and grammatical structure.
There are a few bad questions in the reading comprehension
section; however, the presentation tests fairly the ability
of students to "research details". Researching details is
a huge practical problem in today's economy because few
policy wonks actually read the details sufficiently prior to
executing decisions.
This book develops the various techniques fairly so that
students can pass the test with a good grade. The volume
will not make up for years of neglect in reading quality
literature. Today's youth tend to watch too much TV and
many are glued to video games and other endeavors that
do not do a good job of developing vocabulary skills
to the extent required on this exam.
In addition, some high school students are better prepared
than others. Students who have taken algebra with a fair
amount of applied geometry, 3 years of English and foreign
language, 3 years of Global/American history and a good
science sequence will be at an advantage. Students who have
avoided the more challenging courses may have a disadvantage
on the SAT and a similar difficulty with college material.
Nevertheless, this volume will provide the student with
some practical guidance on how and where to focus the
study effort. A discriminating student will concentrate on
identifying and strengthening weak areas early in the
preparation regimen.
Good luck and follow the presentation faithfully.
