Best SAT Book??

Test Preparation
1

<p>I already have the blue book, and i was looking for another book when I came across The Ultimate SAT Supplement, which has answers to all the questions. Should I get this and/or The Ultimate SAT Tutorial? Because I heard that all the reviews on Amazon (which are all 5 stars) are not real, and some are from dumby accounts to promote the book. Or should I just get Princeton Review or something? Anything helps</p>

<p>In what score range are you currently performing?
Are there any specific areas of weakness?</p>

<p>The lower the score, the more you might benefit from learning/practicing specific test-taking strategies, as described in any of the SAT prep books.
Higher scoring students (earning 750-800 per section) probably wouldn’t benefit as much from those techniques.</p>

<p>Many students have issues with the Critical Reading section. This isn’t surprising since most teenagers nowadays don’t read “quality” literature outside of school. If you increase the amount of reading in a thoughtful way, your reading speed, comprehension, and vocabulary will improve naturally. Such improvements will almost certainly lead to a bump in your scores.</p>

<p>Good luck…</p>

<p>I personally liked Barron’s over Princeton.</p>

<p>I’ve personally found the explanations at [Welcome</a> to the Official SAT Study Guide Book Owner’s Area](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>SAT Study Guide – SAT Suite | College Board) to be sufficient (it provides explanations to each practice test question and sample essays of each score for each practice test’s essay). However, it doesn’t provide answer explanations for the practice problems in the review part of the BB. I don’t know if The Ultimate SAT Tutorial does or not, but that might be relevant.</p>

<p>As for other potential books, the only book I used besides the BB was Barron’s “SAT 2400” (granted, after extensive PSAT prep the year before). If you want a book that can really help you develop top-scoring strategies and skills without drudging through another BB-size book of piddling advice, then SAT 2400 is the way to go.</p>
