The work books provide the extra practice needed to improve preparedness for the SAT. As a supplement for the SAT guide they are very valuable.

I bought this book for my daughter to prep for the PSAT and Act and she said of all the study materials she had, this was the best book ever! It not only clarified the answers throughly but it was challanging and had materials that were very much related to these tests.

I teach SAT prep/review classes independently, and have been using the Barron’s workbook for several years. The material is challenging, and provides students with a large number of high-frequency SAT words used in context. The vocabulary lists, root origins of words, and practice tests are all brilliant.

Pros: Hundreds of practice questions; Multiple ability levels; Answer key with explanations; Fantastic vocabulary words
Cons: Brief descriptions of problem-solving strategies; C level questions more challenging than official SAT questions; Flashcards for vocabulary; Fleeting answer explanations
I recommended using The Barron’s Critical Reading Workbook for the SAT with additional SAT prep materials. The workbook as a stand alone critical reading SAT prep is not enough for the majority of high school juniors and seniors preparing for their first SAT exam. Barron’s provides an ample number of practice questions for students of all ability levels, but, Barron’s Critical Reading Workbook does not provide sufficient vocabulary exercises or overall SAT test taking strategies.
Sophomores who are looking to gain an edge by beginning their SAT test prep early and are simply looking for a way to become familiar with the types and styles of questions they will face on the SAT may find this workbook sufficient preparation for the verbal section.
While the vocabulary in this workbook is brilliant, the presentation of the vocabulary is less than stellar. Many students do not delight in the burden of flashcards and some students may learn that they have learning styles that are incompatible with rote memorization. A separate vocabulary book such as Vocabulary Cartoons: SAT Word Power or The Critical Thinking Company’s Word Roots: Level A; Book 2: Learning the Building Blocks of Better Spelling and Vocabulary series is recommended to use with this Barron’s Critical Reading Workbook to provide alternative and enriching vocabulary activities.
If used in conjunction with better vocabulary exercises Barron’s Critical Reading Workbook is appropriate for independent, individual use by high achieving, highly motivated high school seniors preparing to take the SAT reasoning test. With a high level of motivation students will be able to easily follow the guidelines provided at the beginning of the workbook and proceed through the book independently; lacking this motivation students may need the help of a parent, teacher, tutor or coach to guide them through the book and assign point sections and pages to perfect.
Students of all levels may find it helpful to have a tutor, teacher or mentor guide them through the Barron’s workbook to provide problem-solving strategies, test-taking skills, enrichment activities and encouragement that the book by itself does not.
