From my experience, the critical reading section was the most helpful and the one I made the most improvement on after doing the review. My writing skills stayed about the same(good) but my math hardly improved.
P.S. To really get something out of these test preparation books, I think one has to have a solid foundation in these areas beforehand. Otherwise the material could simply fly over your head. These books are meant to polish up what you should have learned already, not teach the concepts to you for the first time.
P.P.S. Hopefully after I finish my geometry and algebra 2 courses, I will have the solid foundation I direly need to succeed in the math portions.

Every question answered and explained? Answered, but not all are explained. The exercise answers aren't explained. At first I got really mad at this book because I was used to Princeton Review, but it isn't really that bad. Princeton review is just better.
