This ebook asserts that it provides information to get the score 2200+. Is it worth buying? (costs $26)

Answer 1

I just took the SATs today. I scored 1100 the last time i took it (math and english) and was bad considering my friends got 1250's and 1300's and even 1500. I think i did a lot better today on just the math section than i did before. The resources i used were Barron's new SAT*, Collegeboard*, and Kaplan's Inside the SATs ( a mini book that gives tips and advices especially on the Math section). The cost of three books were less then yours and they are revelant and accurate.
I checked out your wesbite, the SAT winners, and yes, it did give lots of accounts of people scoring 2350's ect. But you have to realize those people were scoring 2100 and 2200's before they brought the book.
SATs is a lot about innate intelligence, some of us can't do logic thinking, so it doesn't matter if you study your butt off, it won't help much. My Math score (the first time) was a 520, and i'll be happy to settle for a 600 this time around. But the idea of going from 520 to 700...is outrageous, not to mention, 90% impossible.
So my answers is: don't buy the book, instead go with collegeboard, princeton review, barron's, petersons and kaplans (available at your local library) and take practice tests and see where you stand before buying this SAT winner book. See where you stand before spending 1/2 of the test cost on a book that might not help you.

Answer 2

i really wouldnt pay over $10 for an ebook because hardcover books are usually around $20 and contain the same info more or less. also its pretty easy for anyone to write an ebook compared to actually getting a physical book published, so its harder to weed out quality writings from people just trying to make a buck. im not saying that all ebooks are ripoffs im just saying be careful

but if you have the money go for it. ive never read that book but i doubt it would be much more different than the tons of SAT books already out there....if you are cheap(like me) you can just go to the library and barnes and noble and read the SAT books there for free and take notes. but it is easier to have the luxury of reading the book whenever you want to
