Ivy Global's New SAT Guide, 2nd Edition (2019)

Two books (New Sat and Sat 6 Practice test) are a big help my son improved English. Math is harder in this book. My son self study (he did not go to training), he took Sat recently and score on Sat 1520 (Math 800 and English 720). I recommend this book for who self study

This book is one of the most comprehensive books out there in terms of content and practice questions. As a tutoring company, we use many different publishers, and have found Ivy Global to be consistent in their quality, attention to detail, and customer support. This new SAT book is no exception - it provides a lot of content, accurate in terms of difficulty and style, as well as the tools necessary to raise your score. Highly recommend to personal users as well as other tutoring companies!

Get this book along with the Official SAT Study Guide 2016. These two proved to be the best fit as a study companion for the test. I highly recommend you all to have your child use this book along with their regular classes in the 10th and 11th grade of high school. Make sure they pay attention in their regular and/or ap classes and use this book as an adjunct. Most of all, continue to take practice tests. This test is about endurance. Good luck!!

I'm a Harvard grad, SAT perfect scorer and full-time tutor who has taught the SAT for nearly 20 years. I give this book my recommendation because it provides a good source of SAT strategy and practice, in addition to 3 practice tests modeled after the new SAT.I was hoping that the math section would be a bit more extensive (it is lacking in a few areas, such as synthetic division and the polynomial remainder theorem), but as long as you try all of the official practice tests, you should be fine. If you need more help in math, and are a motivated, high-scoring student, then you should also consider this book: PWN the SAT: Math GuideThere is also a 4th practice SAT that you can download as a free PDF from the Ivy Global website, where you can also access answer explanations to all the tests (the explanations are not printed in the book).When the new SAT came out, the College Board released a book with 4 new practice tests. That should be the very first book you buy (or at least download the free PDF tests and answer explanations from the College Board website). It should be an essential aspect of anyone's SAT prep, and I currently have the #1 review on Amazon if you care to read it: Official SAT Study Guide (2016 Edition) (Official Study Guide for the New Sat)However, the problem is that the SAT Official Guide only contains 4 practice tests, which in my opinion is insufficient for a full preparation. Also, although the Official Guide includes answer explanations, it is lacking with regard to SAT strategy. The Ivy Global book helps solve both problems.Real SAT questions are of course always better to practice with, but for the new SAT, they are currently in short supply. So you should also try to get your hands on a copy of the 2015 practice PSAT (free to download from the College Board website), as well as the actual October 2015 PSAT (not available online, but paper copies were sent to students who took the test). Professional SAT tutors like me will obsessively collect every real SAT or PSAT we can find, and at the moment, there are very few of them, so of course they are especially precious.Are the questions in this Ivy Global book totally realistic in comparison to the real SAT? No they are not. Is the advice in this book always the very best? No, I have some points of disagreement with the authors' choices. Are there typos? Of course. Nearly every test-prep book has them. But seeing that the College Board has only given us 4 official tests so far, this book should help round out your preparation, because it's the best third-party option I've discovered so far. Until the College Board cooks up another batch of tests, we will need something to hold us over, and this second, much-improved edition of the Ivy Global book should do the trick.Alternatively, if you have run out of real SATs to practice with, then you could consider switching over to ACT prep: The Real ACT Prep Guide (Book + Bonus Online Content), (Reprint) (Official Act Prep Guide)For more information, you can google "SAT Action Plan - McElroy Tutoring" to read my personalized, frequently updated recommendations for SAT prep.

Not great. A lot of info here. But most of it is not very insightful and a lot of it is commonsense. As someone who has been teaching the test for over 15 yrs, this has a lot of material not found on the test and is therefore not that accurate. I would skip this book and get something closer to the actual test with better advice!

This is not one of those heavy 5lb plus reviewers but its clearly defined approaches in reading, writing, essay, and math areas make it shine. Definitely an excellent new SAT skills builder. Answer explanations are thorough and well-done although I'd have preferred them to be in the book rather than in separate downloadable online files. IVY Global's approaches here are logical and work. I would highly recommend this reviewer.

As described. Book in excellent condition for a used item. Shipping took forever, but that's probably the postal service's fault not the vendor as the item was shipped out in a timely manner after my purchase.

Clearly this organization has paid people to write good reviews. The book would be acceptable, except there are NO ANSWER EXPLANATIONS, so you can know you got the question wrong but not have the faintest clue as to how. Further more the sections where topics are taught explain the basics that everyone should already know if they passed 7th grade super thoroughly and then hardly touch upon how to do harder problems that actually show up on the test. Horrible set-up, go for Kaplan, or literally ANY OTHER BOOK. I really don't understand how this has good reviews.
