I highly recommend this book for anyone studying for the sat.This book has all the grammar and writing information you need.Many books by other publishers often recycle old materials but this book is different.What amazed me the most is that the author actually responded to my e-mail regarding grammar question I couldn't understand from the SAT test.Nielson was the only author that actually took time to explain his concepts.This book is a must.
I am a huge fan of the College Panda! His advice is very sound. He's not condescending, instead he writes clearly, concisely and calmly. It seems to me that he's very much on the student's side.He's the first person I've read (or spoken to) who advises first taking the SAT untimed, yes, untimed, so that you have a chance to really understand the test. This instantly made great sense to me.The analysis in the book is meticulous and his insights offer a very substantive method to help you reach your goals.I bought this book (and his SAT math book as well) for my son, who's a sophomore. I can't say he's keen to really dive into it yet but I've managed to read a few passages he liked. His English tutor (who's a teacher, not just a clever college student and who also does SAT prep) was impressed.Don't tell my son, but we'll be doing more with this book over the summer before that crazy junior year starts.I also get the College Panda blog, which I highly recommend.
The instruction and analysis are easy to read. Nielson sets a tone like a mentor who sits next to you when you are studying this book. Chapter 2 is very important for students who have never taken the SAT and it helps them to learn the tips of the test immensely.With those breakdown questions, tips and practices you will clearly understand writing rules and feel more confident in your test. Furthermore, it's not only a reference book for students to prepare for the SAT test, but it's also a great guideline for students who would like to learn (or relearn) grammar thoroughly. I suggest that you child starts early with this book and grasp the grammar rules and writing structures early on. Don't wait until high school, but start in middle school and build a good English foundation.This is highly recommended!
As a parent and Cornell alum, I'm extremely impressed with how Nielsen has constructed this guide book. Our child has not been as strong in reading and writing as he has been in math/science. This book has helped him make great strides quickly on SAT writing questions. It is easy to follow, engaging, and the example questions match very well to what we are seeing on official SAT practice exams. For any student serious about raising their SAT writing score to a high level, I highly recommend this book!
This SAT prep book is amazing. It is written in such a way that it is easy to understand and is extremely thorough. The concepts are laid out in a logical, easy to follow order, and each concept is explained in detail. Every small thing from definitions of words to reviewing simple concepts are explained in detail and leave me asking no questions. In addition, each concept is accompanied by many examples and practice questions to ensure the concept is understood. I consider myself above average in English and writing, but this book showed me that I still had a few things to learn.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning to take the SAT.
This book is absolutely wonderful! I love the advice given in it.As an international student, I found the writing section of the SAT to be a bit challenging as I am not very familiar with American English. This book has been extremely educational for me and helped me boost my writing diagnostic score from a previous 570 to 650 and I felt more confident about my essay too! I will definitely recommend buying this books for a quick and efficient improve in your school.
Nielson,Thank you so much for writing this book! The content was written in an easy to explain manner- and it was very detailed in the concepts as it is specific to SAT writing. I feel extremely confident for acing the SAT writing section (usually never am!) and feel well prepared. The book gave me an amazing experience as if I was with a real mentor, and gives you a great description of common mistakes to avoid, and traps that are designed on the test! Phenomenal book- definitely surpasses ALL other books out there!Arya
I have bought a few of College Panda;s other books and I have been consistently impressed by the quality of the book. The best part of all the College Panda books is its organization. It is so easy to find the exact topic you are struggling with and work had at improving it. I also love how these books break down the SAT into its main components which most other standardized testing practice books fail to do. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it to all my friends.
