i agree with the review above. i wouldn't recommend this book. you gain far more practice with the barron's book, plus there's a disk & you can even prepare for the listening test. after having seen the barron's book at a local store, i've totally regreted ordering the "cracking sat II" book instead. since i'm strong in french, i might not need to buy the barron's book but the "cracking" one surely doesn't give me the security barron's would have given me.
