If succeeding on the SAT is largely a game -- and most educators, including this one, feel this is the case -- then MAXIMUM SAT is one of the few books out there that truly helps students take their game to the "next level".





MAXIMUM SAT'S great accomplishment is that the manual's design provides both the bottom-line fundamentals necessary to feel confident on test day, as well as the detail and nuance required to achieve a superior test score.





The revised edition is marvelously comprehensive -- getting the numbers you want is all about just doing the work!





What's also great is that the text itself is challenging and accessible -- kids won't get bored, and parents will feel confident that even the most difficult SAT concepts to teach, such as Critical Reading and Writing, are thoroughly deconstructed and reviewed.





The big test prep companies have dominated this territory for years, but they should take stock -- MAXIMUM SAT has established itself as a formidable opponent, and an excellent way to prepare for the exam.
