The sole reason I purchased this book was to get more practice tests. The tests are identical to the 2012 version. So if you have the 2011 version of this book, no need to get this one. (Unless you are new to Kaplan's series)The educational sections are formatted well and easy to read. If you do not own any of Kaplan's PSAT prep books, this one is great! I highly recommend it. There just wasn't enough new content added (i.e. new practice tests) to this book that made it worth it to keep since owning the 2012 version.Happy studying!
Bought the book 12 weeks prior to the 2012 PSAT in October, my son has completed all the tests including the diagnostic test. It's really rather good test prep, he has consistently between 202 and 217, so I feel the tests are consistent and a fair reflection to the 'real' CB PSAT.Compared to the Barron's 16th PSAT prep, it's better than the Barron's, which for some reason doesn't include a raw score/scaled score chart, so when adding your raw score, there is No comparison to the actual PSAT score rank, so you don't get a 20-80 score or each Critical Reading, Math, Writing section, which is just annoying and frankly stupid, for that reason alone, Kaplan is the better test prep book.However, the Kaplan test prep questions are on average a little easier than Barron's, the writing extracts are shorter and easier to read than Barron's and the 'Real' PSAT so be aware, your score may not truely reflect your comparable CB PSAT score, but of the books available, I think Kaplan is the better one.The book isn't organised that well and the answer sheet should be perforated to enable you to tear out and use separately, unfortunately if you are a little careless (like me) when you try to 'tear out', you'll wrip the answer sheet!.Updated 12/2012 Student Scored a 209 based on this prep book, well worth the $10
I am a SAT/PSAT test prep math tutorand I must say this book offers some nice quality practice tests and good explanations to the problem.However, you will defininately need another source if you want to "teach" or "learn" the concepts behind the problems.Overall: Nice book for practice tests, but not a good one for learning, if thats what you need
Good review for my high schooler for the PSAT as well as a good primer for the ACT. Good value.
Book was very helpful. Provided a great way to take test after test to get ready for PSAT. Arrived within a week of placing order.
We have purchased Kaplan and Princeton Review for my daughters 10th grade PSAT. We will do Barrons for 11th grade. We purchased all 3 just to figure out which would be a better SAT book down the road.Kaplan's Subject review is not that great compared to Princeton Review. It appears Kaplan just wants to discuss "tricks/shortcuts" versus understanding the subject matter to be tested.Kaplan's Test are tooo easy also. For instance, My daughter was scoring 67's in Kaplan Writing as a 10th grader and language arts is her weakest area in school. In Princeton Review, the test was harder and she got a 57.
Very educational book and it was bought from a wonderful Seller. My son is almost done with this book and he feels very good about it. My son feels the book will make you confident to go in for PSAT. I highly recommend this Seller as well as the book
My daughter uses the practice tests and I like how the book explains the reasoning behind all the correct and incorrect answers.
