<p>I would like to know wich book is better for the SAT : Princeton review or Barron's...
I want to buy one of these books and I already went to Barnes and Noble to compare the books and in the Princeton review, there are too much guessing advices, don't you think ?</p>
<p>Actually, I thought Kaplan had a really good book.</p>
<p>I didn’t look at Kaplan , tomorrow I will go and look at it maybe it’s better than the others…</p>
<p>omg, kaplan is terrible…
do your research on this forum before posting threads like this jeez. this question has been answers a billion times.</p>
<p>I know that I searched but I didn’t find answers about Barron’s…</p>
<p>I liked Princeton Review.</p>
<p>Math? Grubers.
Critical Reading vocabulary? Direct Hits.
Writing? Here, possibly, in one of those well-known threads by Xiggi, Silverturtle, or whoever.</p>
<p>I have a few Barron books. I don’t have much to comment on because I haven’t really used them enough to know whether they suck or not. However, jumping into a random section and trying to complete the problems really kicked my butt.</p>
<p>Math- Gruber’s
CR- Direct Hits+Rocket Review+BB
WR- spark notes+BB</p>
<p>CR - Kaplan’s. (Surprisingly. I have exhausted everything else so I’ve taken this as my last)… and Wiktionary. Of course, I wouldn’t memorize the whole dictionary, but I’d look at some secondary meanings of words newly learnt. I second DH… Pwnage. and I bet others would third, fourth, fifth, and n-th those books.
W - Silverturtle’s/Sparknotes/Grammatix/Rocket Review/Wikipedia. (Wikipedia, again, is only for checking some concepts that I have some problems with recalling)
M - Gruber’s/PR/Barron’s Pick whichever you like. Math is just practice. And taking pains.</p>
<p>If you have limited budget, just buy the BB and exhaust it.</p>
<p>Grubers is way too overrated for math…the concepts are the only useful part but those concepts can be found in Barron’s or PR too.</p>
<p>A combination of Barron’s & the College Board’s book.
Barron’s-difficult, over-prepares you, challenging CR sections in particular, good practice tests
College Board-good overview, accurate practice tests (like the real thing)</p>
<p>I bought the Barron’s one, and maybe next week the gruber’s, it looked really good for mathematics…</p>
