Not a Study Guide.

2008-06-07
The Official Study Guide for all SAT Subject Tests isn't a study guide at all, as is the case with most if not all of College Board's study guide publications. This book includes only one previously administered test per subject area, which isn't adequate enough to determine the knowledge you have mastered in the subject. The exams themselves must be at least several years old, and the conversion charts reflect the performance of past years; test writers change over time as well as student competitiveness. The part that probably ticks people off the most is that NO answer explanation is included. Because this is the only SAT Subject Test book published by the actual test writing company, many have no choice but to buy this. Just because there are no other publications of previously administered exams doesn't make it right for College Board to sloppily take a past exam booklet and add answer keys. Another problem with this book is that half of it is foreign language exams. Almost no student takes more than one language test, if any at all. The foreign language exams are dead weight. The CD included only contains listening parts. College Board needs to do better, especially for the prices it charges students for the standardized tests it administers. Unless College Board updates the exams, adds an answer key explanation, or includes more exams, this book doesn't help much, but for $13 (Amazon) or $19 (College Board), it's better than nothing. If you think about buying it, buy it early, since you're most likely not going to take more than four SAT Subject Tests, and using it for just one practice test is a waste.

The question are a lot for each subject.
they all include keys, which help for social studies.
but doesn't teach the secret to a successful test result.
Basically is a Question book with answer from the previews test;
make for you to practice. If you're looking for a teaching book, this is not the one.

Complete Overkill.

I bought the book thinking that it would be more for my money. And the truth is that it is more for money. A lot more. This book is huge! And unless you are going to take all of the subjects, it is too big to carry around. It is a lot easier to study from a lighter book, than this monster. I do recommend the series, but be reasonable and buy separate books.

A good, generalized resource

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas in 2006. I bought the wrong one, but she could use it anyway. She is a Junior.

Buyers beware!

If you have no other ways to prepare for the exams, you can use this book. But keep in mind that this is only an overview of the exams, not the actual exams, though the book said the questions were made by the testmakers of the real tests. The questions inside the tests don't have the same difficulty of the real tests. The College Board has reserved the real tests from the past to the educators who have access to the resources. The real exams are much harder. And I doubt that finishing studying this book will prepare you for the real exams in any way.

great practice tests!

If you have a child who needs specific concentrations in a particular area, this is the book for them. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to achieve high scores, just a few extra dedicated, disciplined hours.
