    To be frank my book is kind of like a condensed version of the Black Book without the frantic writing style. Check it out here: amzn.to/3kuuRTr

    I just got the black book but I cannot figure out how to use it? It has very detailed walk throughs for every question but am I supposed to do the practice tests prior and then check my answers with the black book? The instructions were very clear about that

    • @NickTheTutor
      @NickTheTutor  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yeah, that is the problem. IDK how to use it either. I guess do the tests with the book? but the tests are old and no longer good to use to study. So idk.

      Thanks! Here is the link to my SAT book: amzn.to/33WC3AA and ACT book: amzn.to/2FLxIZf for AP exams I think princeton books are pretty good but usually free online stuff gets it done. For the subject tests I would just use the official books put out by CB with the practice tests.

I know that I am capable of self study however I don’’t know how much and what to study. I haven’t studied yet. I currently have Khan Academy, the College Panda Book, Official Sat Guide, and Kali’s SAT pattern. Should I get this book? Also how should I study? Please help me! My parents are immigrants and have high expectations for me as I am a first generation for college. I have great motivation too ahh help

      The practice test answer explanations are thorough, so much so that they often repeat the strategies in the earlier part of the book. You might want to jump in and take a practice test, let the book tutor you through the ones you miss. 2 of the practice tests are no longer on College Board website, but I found them on PrepScholar.

    Please respond to this comment, I’m seriously wondering what’s the best way to get a 1550+? Do I have to get a tutor or go to classes or khan academy or sat prep books? Or all or just some of them? I’m genuinely confused on what the best way to study is.. I still have a few months to prep though...

    • @NickTheTutor

      That is hard to say. How far off are you from that score now? If you are in the 13's I would say you probably need some help. If you are in the mid-high 14's, you might be able to push to the finish on your own with practice tests etc.

    I don't this review is accurate. If you know where to look, he does have other things available on the internet. He us uplifting students, but does everyone give out information for free? He has to make a living too. I'm a teacher. I don't do it for free, and neither does any other teacher I know. The book is only confusing in one way, I think. and that is because the questions are not in there, which I assume would cause a lot of copyright issues. I learned a lot and today have much improved my teaching strategy of the SAT on Outschool. You just have to be disciplined at reading and practicing what the book says. If you don't, it won't help.
