<p>Does anybody know if this book is legitimate? It looks too good to be true, and some of the reviews look fake. There is only one 1* review on Amazon. I agree with that review when he says the book looks like an infomercial. His website also looks really fishy, like some sort of popup ad infested with viruses. The arrows pointing down to the email box practically begging you to give up your email seems extremely odd and suspicious. I put my spam email in and have not received an email. The book looks like a big advertisement, but it seems like it could be good. Any ideas? Anybody have experience with the book?</p>

<p>No, the website is NOT a scam, and his book seems legitimate for CR, but not for W or M. That’s my opinion, though.</p>

<p>I agree with eagle, CR is great, W is questionable, but you should definitely ignore M.</p>

<p>I got this book for my D. I agree with the last two posters. I specifically told her just to read the part about CR. She used other prep books for M and W. She took the Dec. 7 SAT so we are still waiting for her scores.</p>

<p>This is precisely what I used to prep for the SAT. I went from a 183 on my October 2012 PSAT to a 2250 on the SAT in October this year. It was simply a blessing, and I don’t know what I would have done without it because it analyzes the test at a technical level and does not heed what the College Board has to say about the test at face value. I recommend you buy the Black Book.</p>
