<p>ive been making a lot of new posts lately but i need the help.haha
im going to buy some new SAT test prep books and i was wondering which ones are the best. i am planning to study alone during winter break every day and i need one that is just practice tests and i was looking at the kaplan 12 practice tests for the SAT. also i was wondering if the barrons SAT 2400 book would help me at all. im at a consistent 2000- 2100 level right now and looking to get into the 2300 and above level. any information on which books are recomended would be very appreciated.</p>

<p>also, i currently have the collegeboard big blue book, and kaplan workbooks for critical reading and writing but they are all from around 2005 (when the new SAT was implemented over the old 1600 SAT)</p>

<p>I'd think if you were so smart you would have seen the thread no less than 2 posts away from this about this very same subject! lol</p>

<p>Anyway I'll repost here what I said there, if you are aiming for 2300-2400 I hear Barrons 2400 is better than Rocket Review, but I haven't read it (yet).</p>

<p>Two books are required to have.</p>

<p>Blue Book (Official SAT Guide by College Board, with 8 real sat tests)
TestMasters (Complete Solutions and explanations to the 8 real tests)</p>

<p>You can have as many other books as you like, I suggest either Rocket Review or Barrons 2400, but get at least one other book of your choosing.</p>

<p>To use the two required books correctly, refer to the fairly obvious study method, dubbed, the Xiggi method. You can read it all here, post #575</p>

<p>You can order the two books I previously mentioned here</p>

<p>Test</a> Masters e-Store Catalog</p>

<p>Sometimes the testmasters book is available on Amazon.com but usually they are sold out.</p>

<p>Important -- Accept advice regarding the SAT and SAT preparation at your judgment, as long as it compliments the Xiggi method. The Xiggi method is far from complete.</p>

<p>However, DO NOT ACCEPT ADVICE THAT CONTRADICTS EITHER THE XIGGI METHOD OR THE USE OF THESE TWO BOOKS AS THE CENTER OF ANY SAT PREPARATION PROGRAM. The Xiggi method is incomplete, but what it has is perfect.</p>
