<p>Has anyone tried either of these workbooks? If so, what did you think about them?</p>
<p>I'm considering purchasing one of these books to practice the CR portion of the SAT.</p>
<p>From what I've read previously, it seems as if people think Kaplan's book is easier than the "real thing." </p>
<p>I couldn't find anything about the Barrons book though.</p>
<p>Well, thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I bought kaplan and, while I guess it is easier than the real thing, the explinations helped on questions that I got wrong. I mean really, the explinations are really helpful and put my CR above 700. Barron's book is a little harder than the real thing but good practice (plus it has writting in it too).</p>
<p>Kaplans is good. I agree with stix2400, it's a lot easier than the real thing (especially the sentence completions). There are a lot of exercises, but the downfall is there are only two practice tests.
I don't know about Barrons-but don't get discouraged if you don't do too well, their tests are a lot harder than the real thing.</p>
