The biggest problem, I've found, with books like Princeton Review, Up Your Score, and REA, is that they repeat the same test-taking "tricks" that have been around for decades, and really don't help most students all that much. (Sure, it's kind of nice to have a simple rule for when to guess on a multiple choice question, but isn't it better to be able actually to solve the problems?) Princeton, Up Your Score and REA just seem to be battling each other to be cute and clever with their delivery, but that's not what kids need. What students need is.
