<p>As an educator who has taught SAT/ACT science prep courses, the best things the books give you is the entire instructions for the exam, format and practice type questions. I refuse to allow my d to “study for the exam”, but allowed her to be comfortable and the the rules. Would studying have helped her–maybe but life continues and I believe, like most standardized exams, it test long term not short term knowledge.</p>
<p>As we have seen on these boards, getting a 99% but not being well-rounded does not promise entrance to any school/program.</p>
<p>Just my experience and 3 cents :-)</p>
