<p>Is it any good?
Are there any major difference between the first one (Barron's writing workbook for the new sat) and the new one (2009 version)</p>
<p>I thought it was pretty good, but only for MC. Don’t bother with the essay portion. I’m guessing the new one would be better, but I don’t know for sure.</p>
<p>I went from 660 to 800 with this book.</p>
<p>new editions and old editions have virtually no difference unless you have like 2nd edition and 12th.</p>
<p>It has TONS OF PRACTICE EVERYWHERE. I really enjoy its essay section, although its method of beginning essays as well as the entire essay is more informal and even jocular at times. However, the sample essays it gives are clearly top-notch. It doesn’t give you a template; however, its tips on improving individual parts of writing are great.</p>
<p>Grammar section is LOOOONNNGGGGGG, and I skipped the practice because I was just reviewing anyway; if you need actual grammar help the practice (which are all short answer) is indispensable (or indispensible? idk). It is my writing review book of choice; I also like blackstone review’s grammar review (though its essay section is a paraphrased version of AcademicHacker’s template).</p>
<p>I just need it for practice on the identifying sentence errors section</p>
