The Official SAT Study Guide for the New SAT
ISBN: 0-87447-718-2

Cover Price: $19.95

Why this book?

Because it is published by the College Board/ETS, the same people who write the SAT test, this book contains the most realistic examples of the kinds of questions students will face when they take the real test. This is especially true of the Critical Reading sections of the examination.

McGraw-Hill's SAT 2009
ISBN: 0071592288

Why this book?

This publication contains a host of information that I consider very complementary to the skills and strategies I teach. In particular there are very effective sections covering:
