I am a tutor and I have many students each year who need to take the SSAT and the ISEE. Once my students have acquired each test's official book (Preparing & Applying for the SSAT and What to Expect on the ISEE, both of which are currently available only from the websites administered by the test-makers themselves), this book is the book I recommend first for my students -- followed closely by the Kaplan book.

In fact, as I say in the book review episode of my SSAT and ISEE podcast, the PR and Kaplan books are really the *only* books worth using outside of the official books. All the other publishers get something seriously wrong, but these books get almost everything right. For the Princeton Review in particular, the breakdown is as follows:

Pros:
- Spectacular vocab and word roots practice
- Great practice with hard synonyms & analogies
- Good balance of "lessons" and practice with actual test problems

Cons:
- The math sections are complete, but not as thorough as with Kaplan (but Kaplan's vocab work isn't as good)
- No single student will be able to use more than one practice test in this book (same for Kaplan)

The reason for that last point is that the SSAT has a lower and upper level (2 tests), and the ISEE has a lower, middle, and upper level (3 tests). So the fact that there are five practice tests in this book (and most prep books) really means that there's only one test per level. And any given student is only going to take the test at one level, so at most there is one practice test per student per test. Yes, that's not ideal, and it's part of why I gave this book four stars, but it's also the standard, and it's not really a reason not to buy this book, because this book is so good otherwise, and apart from the official books mentioned above, which you should already be buying anyway, you won't do better anywhere.

One of the unfortunate side effects of companies like The Princeton Review releasing new versions of their test prep books every year is that they reset their reviews on websites like Amazon.

In fact, these books change little from version to version, which is as it should be. The tests they prepare students for undergo only a subtle evolution from year to year, so the reviews from the 2008 version are just as relevant now (to the 2010 version) as they were then. So if you want to read more reviews of this book, read reviews from previous years.

Happy testing!
