Almost no student takes more than one language test, if any at all. The Official Study Guide for all SAT Subject Tests isn't a study guide at all, as is the case with most if not all of College Board's study guide publications. The exams themselves must be at least several years old, and the conversion charts reflect the performance of past years; test writers change over time as well as student competitiveness. Another problem with this book is that half of it is foreign language exams. Unless College Board updates the exams, adds an answer key explanation, or includes more exams, this book doesn't help much, but for $13 (Amazon) or $19 (College Board), it's better than nothing. The part that probably ticks people off the most is that NO answer explanation is included.
The CD included only contains listening parts. This book includes only one previously administered test per subject area, which isn't adequate enough to determine the knowledge you have mastered in the subject. The foreign language exams are dead weight. Because this is the only SAT Subject Test book published by the actual test writing company, many have no choice but to buy this. Just because there are no other publications of previously administered exams doesn't make it right for College Board to sloppily take a past exam booklet and add answer keys. College Board needs to do better, especially for the prices it charges students for the standardized tests it administers.
If you think about buying it, buy it early, since you're most likely not going to take more than four SAT Subject Tests, and using it for just one practice test is a waste.
With the practice tests inside and how it is written, so my son can understand it, it will help him greatly.
