Thanks for your questions - I haven’t been on CC for awhile, but a friend pointed me to your post. Mike Barrett works with me as part of my company doing one-on-one tutoring and also selling his guide which sells for $280. It’s on my web page under products (not sure I’m allowed to give my web site, but if you google Michele Hernandez, you’ll find my web page - I don’t want the moderator to shoot me, but since you asked). It’s not identical to the old grammatix guide (in fact, I don’t think Mike’s old company exists anymore, but I’m not 100% sure about that). We did a substantial revision to his old version, adding our own intro along with entirely new sections (the whole critical reading for example was NOT part of the original guide) and made changes throughout the booklet as well. It is, in my opinion, one of the best guides out there on the SAT and almost all of my students work with Mike personally and use his guide as well and the results have been amazing. And just to assure anyone, I always stand behind all the products sold on my website and have issued refunds when merited with no problem. I’m not sure how you attempted to contact Mike, but you can email me privately and I’m happy to connect you to him - possible he doesn’t use his old email anymore? Let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Michele
