I mainly tutor high school students for the SAT and ACT but I have taken on a lot of students in middle school for subject tutoring and/or high school exam prep such as the SSAT or ISEE. Since I use Gruber's SAT book for high school students I need material for my younger students. This book is great but hard to find. As a tutor, the book provides very easy instruction. My students like the challenging questions but easy to follow examples and explanations. 5 Stars!!!
