<p>I started studying for the SATs with a regular CollegeBoard book, but I don't think it's really gonna help me get a 2300+ score. </p>
<p>Do the books specifically targeted to people who want to get perfect scores actually help? </p>
<p>Specific book titles would also be appreciated :)</p>
<p>we all want to get perfect scores and nowhere near as many actually get them, whether they read the 2400 books or not. I still think the CB Blue book is the most accurate/best bet.</p>
<p>The collegeboard book(blue book)is nothing more than questions. If you want to understand the concepts behind the questions and how to tackle them, then i would advise you to pick up a prep book; however, steer away from generic books like kaplan sat2007, or princeton sat stuff, b/c they are very basic and are a rarity to achieve in the upper echelon, unless your a natural test taker. the key to aiming high is getting as much exposure to practice test questions and understanding MISTAKES. </p>
<p>use the concepts from those prep books and do test after test on the blue book and you should do fine.</p>
<p>Good prep books i've heard are Barrons 2400, Rocket Review, Grubers. Everything else steer clear away from.</p>
<p>I have the Barron's SAT 2400 (which, admittedly, I bought because it has 2400 in the name :) ), and it's pretty good in terms of strategy, but it's not going to get you to a 2400. Take a look at the Xiggy thread. The kind of concepts that he talks about are what are most likely to get you to a 2400. </p>
<p>But in any event, GET THE BLUE BOOK. It has 8 official practice tests. Enough said.</p>
