Complete Waste of Money Since College Board Released Answers Sep 11, 2009 I tutor students full time for the SAT & the ACT, so I consider myself an expert on this topic. This new publication is a complete waste of your money because in July of 2009 the College Board released the second edition of The Official Study Guide, and with that release the College Board now offers FREE detailed explanations online at the link [...].
These types of reference books used to be needed, but are now completely unnecessary unless you don't have access to the Internet.
Furthermore, if you purchased the new second edition of the College Board official study guide (blue & green cover), it has 3 extra tests which are NOT covered AT ALL in the so-called "Ultimate SAT Supplement".
Lastly, the reference in the product description on amazon.com that this book corresponds to a "4th edition" is erroneous--there are only 2 editions of the College Board Official Study Guide that related to the "new" SAT that was implemented in 2005. The old first edition (blue cover with orange stripe) is what
this "Ultimate SAT Supplement" matches.

Along with the Ultimate SAT Tutorial, this is a must-have! Nov 18, 2008 Please read my review on the Ultimate SAT Tutorial. This book goes along with that one, which is the best SAT prep book on the market. You can also buy this book with the College Board's book if you are just looking for answers and explanations to the tests, but I'd recommend getting the tutorial as well, as this book references the strategies taught in the tutorial.
As I mentioned in my other review, I am an SAT tutor with years of experience consistently raising students' scores on the SAT. This book provides the clearest, most useful answers and explanations to the College Board's book of tests that I have ever seen. If there is ever a problem that I can't remember how to do (yes, it does happen every once in awhile, even when you do this for a living!), I just flip open the Ultimate Supplement and get 2-3 ways to solve the problem. It couldn't be any easier than that!
I highly recommend this book because it was written by someone who knows the SAT inside and out, and it really shows. If you're serious about raising your SAT scores, get the College Board book and then get this book to go with it. If you do the work, you WILL see results. Good luck!
