The "New SAT" has been changed once again since this book was published. Still, it's worth reading if you can find a copy.
I spent a summer as a full-time professional SAT tutor. I read my company's guidebook. I read guidebooks from Princeton Review and Kaplan and Sparknotes and a few other authors. Rocket Review was the best book by a significant margin. It's been carefully laid out so that it will be equally useful to students who are equally strong in each area and students who have one particular weakness. Information is presented in a linear, almost narrative format (as opposed to in most test-prep books, where random facts are thrown at the reader to be memorized).
I admit that I have not experimentally tested Rocket Review against any other SAT prep books. However, I did integrate a few of the author's ideas into my own teaching, with apparent success. Again, I highly recommend finding a copy.
