Summary: Math portion of the tests contains errors.
Comment: I am a math tutor. I usually check the problems before assigning them to my students. I'm on the
second test and about to give up on this book.
First, tests feel different from the
official college board's tests. For example, too many problems in the Princeton's book contain
extra information comparing with the 'official'. When I take official tests my results are very
consistent. While Princeton's are not.
I'm on the second test and have seen two
errors already. One of the problems involved right isosceles triangle and it's area. In the
explanation it was stated that the base can not ba a hypotenuse. Hmm... Am I missing something
here?
This is another problem (math test number two, section 9, #16)
/>a=b+c-2
a=c-d+9
a=b-d+11
Based on the system of equation above, what is
the value of a?
The choices: 2, 9, 10, 11, 20
The book suggest to plug in 20
and then check that this works. And it does. The only problem here is that any other answer would
work as well.

Comment: ...it's the same as the 2008 version, save for a few questions here and there. i'm a tutor and i
was looking forward to the new 2009 edition. i was severely disappointed as i was looking forward
to having a new set of sat practice tests to tutor with. don't the writers of p.r. know that they
can make so much more money if new tests were produced every year? everyone knows that the only
real ones are published by the college board, but p.r. does a decent job in mimicking the difficulty
and subject coverage of the real sat's. yet, they just keep reprinting the same tests since
2006(?), maybe earlier. anyway, if you're looking for a set of fresh tests, look elsewhere. and go
to the public library for the 2008, 2007, etc., editions.
