Best SAT Prep Books?

<p>So I know of collegeboard BB. I already took the SAT once and I did horrible as compared to what I got on all my diags :( anyways, what are some good critical reading workbooks? I already know of Direct Hiits for vocab, but I want the actual reading passage practice. As for math, I have the Dr. Chung's. Also, any tips on how to write a 12 essay? Thanks </p>

<p>These are really good books, especially the first 3 (all are by the same company so theres just one link), especially the reading. As for essay, you have no one to give you accurate scores so improve your vocabulary and knowledge of common high school literature as well as current and historic events which may be suitable as essay points. Sophisticated examples and language will help get an 11-12</p>
