5.0 out of 5 stars Explained by real person and based on real experience.

D. · December 27, 2019

So, as an international student i was more than thrilled to see so clear and straightforward, but effective explanations at the same time. It dives you down in SAT world completely. There are literally abundant of tricks and tips. In two words, this books equip you up to be savage on your exam day. Both of these! By preparing and filling up an each particular topic you're improving the grammar of the language simultaneously, not to mention learning a bunch of inevitable words strictly for the SAT.In terms of material - there's nothing to discuss about. The only books that made up of legitimately like solid paper materials.If you really are looking for book to practice besides Khan Academy - that's your choice! The other books are replete with redundancy and worthless information that just waist your time really badly. Whereas in Nelson's book- founder of College Panda - you will find practice tests after an each complited, well explained as well as elaborate, topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and compelling advice you can really use

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY good!

college panda books made me feel more prepared than the other SAT prep books I bought (Princeton review, etc.). This writing book was no exception. I recommend it for anyone planning to take the SAT

4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and Effective SAT Writing Prep

S. · September 27, 2024

The book is packed with clear explanations of grammar rules and writing strategies, and it provides numerous practice questions that mirror the style and difficulty of the actual test. What I found particularly useful were the detailed answer explanations, which help reinforce key concepts and avoid common mistakes.Although the book is highly informative, it’s geared more toward students who already have a solid foundation in grammar, so beginners might find some sections challenging. Overall, it’s an excellent guide for students aiming for a top score on the SAT writing section!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bottom Line: Just buy this book!

E. · August 18, 2019

If you're here shopping for SAT prep materials for your child, you're likely either buying everything out there or looking for the ONE guide that really works. I signed my daughter up for the SAT and added in the Essay, not realizing for many of the schools she's considering that the SAT Essay isn't required, and not telling her. Way to go mom!! But she was registered so she was going to take it. While she's already a good writer, the SAT Essay has a specific structure and when you're studying for finals and AP exams you can't just rely on those to get you through the SAT Essay.There are A LOT of books out there and I've checked many of them out from the library, purchased others, returned some, and then came across College Panda. Two days later the book is in my hands and I read through it and realize this book is detailed but focused. No random information, no lengthy discussion of what's not on the test, no blathering on and on and on. Just specifics on how to maximize your SAT Essay score.In just a few week my daughter went from pretty decent to nearly perfect by following the tips and instructions in this book. It's not a huge book, but it's concise. With SAT prep I don't want my daughter wasting her time sifting through a bunch of nonsense. I'll gladly pay for valuable information b/c wasting my daughter's time is also wasting my money.Bottom Line: Just buy this book!

Sehr uebersichtlich und nachvollziehbar

.. · September 14, 2017

Saemtliche Themen Themen wie Rechtschreibung, Grammatik, Satzbau, Konjunktion, etc. sind sehr strukturiert und ausfuehrlich erklaert. Die einzelnen Kapitel bieten zuerst eine Uebersicht, dann meist einige schwierigere Uebungen, die dem/der LeserIn zeigen sollen wie schwer oder leicht die Thematik ist, gefolgt von einer Ueberpruefung im SAT-Stil. Am Ende des Buches finden sich auch noch drei praktische SAT-Tests (die Writing Teile) um einen finalen Ueberblick bezueglich des eigenen Koennens zu geben. Alles in allem ist dieses Buch eine hervorragende Option fuer die Vorbereitung auf den SAT, jedoch ist es vorstellbar, dass bei starken Defiziten in manchen Bereichen wie den Zeitformen oder der Interpunktion andere Ratgeber/Lernhelfer zu Rate gezogen werden muessen, da pro Thema nur eine handvoll Seiten vorhanden sind.
