<p>Has anyone tried it? I saw it at B&N today and flipped through it but couldn't tell if it was worth the $20. I heard the Princeton Review 12 test-book was really bad because they published it before the new tests even came out, and that the blue collegeboard book was the way to go. I finished the blue collegeboard book, and am now looking for alternate practice for my retake. Is this book legit? Its publication date is July 1, 2005, meaning it's not even suppose to be in stores yet. IDK. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>P.S. This book is HUGE. It's like a size of a dictoinary -- 1100 pages.</p>

<p>You went through the entire blue book and still aren't satisfied with your scores? May I ask what you are getting and how much you have improved by taking 8 full tests?</p>

<p>In think you should try PR's New 11 practice Tests: 2006 edition. I believe they fixed some of the problems from the old one.</p>
