<p>Has anyone bought or used this book? Is this book by Princeton Review a good source of practice? Are the tests pretty similar to what the actual SATs are?? </p>
<p>I just want to do a ton of practice problems and I already have the Blue Book and I was loooking for a second source. So is this the book to buy or is there some other book that would be useful?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>If you really want to get a grasp of the "REAL" SATs, try College Board's Official SAT Study Guide. That's the most authoritative source to attaining the most accurate SAT questions. </p>
<p>I am really really wary of the PR review. I bought it, and my scores are pretty off as compared to the real test I later took. PR and other books like Kaplan are all "pretending" that they have the "real" SATs, but in reality, they don't. Their questions are still mere imitations and modified versions of questions released by college board (that's why I suggest the CB Official SAT Study Guide, that blue book)</p>
<p>If need more REAL SAT practice, college board also offers 6 more real tests through an online service (it costs around 60 bucks, but well worth it). Also, older books like 10 REAL SATs are trustworthy sources/practice books.</p>
<p>thanks, any other opinions of anyone else who has used it?</p>
<p>I have the PR - it's a little harder than the actual so it's good practice. It's not as accurate as the collegeboard books. I'm not taking full tests in the PR because I know that my score's going to be different; it's actually a great book just to pull out random sections to practice several times a week.</p>
<p>i bought it before i did my 11th grade PSAT. it honestly didn't help very much. i did every single test in the book and i saw zero improvement--i got a 2250-2270 every single time. the problems were waaay different from the real PSAT and SAT. i ended up with a 2390 on the actual SAT, and I attribute my success to the college board blue book and a good math class at school. plus i read a lot.
i agree with km, if you're desperate for practice and you've done every single problem in the blue book (highly unlikely--after doing all those you don't need more prep) then get the PR book and break up the practice tests into problem sets. it's not worth it doing them as whole tests.</p>
