The College Panda's SAT Writing: Advanced Guide and Workbook for the New SAT

Great book. Everything was easy to understand and it comes with some practice sections.

Thanks ever so much Nielson for writing such an excellent book for SAT. Clearly written and all topics covered.

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.

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.

Well explained book, makes me feel really prepared for my SAT.

Nielson Phu's books are written exceptionally well! I was recommended the CollegePanda series by a friend and I can say for sure that the techniques he discusses in these books do positively affect one's scores. Compared to other books, i found the College Panda books easier to understand. Although written precise, they cover all the necessary chapters and provide ample of practice questions.

good deal, Just as expected
