<p>Besides Blue Book (Which I've worked through), what's the best source of SAT practice tests? I don't need a book with techniques, I've got tons of those, I'm talkin' sheer number (and quality) of tests.</p>
<p>princeton's 11 tests or kaplan's 12... PR is better.</p>
<p>Yeah, one extra test isn't worth it when PR is definitely better. Made me laugh, though. "Oh yeah? Think 11 tests is great? WE'VE got 12! Take THAT!"</p>
<p>hahahaha sorry, feeling slap-happy.</p>
<p>plus, kaplan repeat the questions after a few tests. so it's not exactly an "accurate" predicter. i think PR did that but not as often i dunno.</p>
<p>murasaki:</p>
<p>do the test that are part of the college board's online course; they are the next best thing to the blue book' don't waste your time with other books; if you exhaust that then do sections of the old red book that are still applicable for the new sat test format</p>
<p>how's the Barron's book for extra practice?</p>
<p>barrons is excellent</p>
<p>yay thanks! is it around the same, harder, or easier? i know that really depends, but just maybe from experience? I'm most interested in CR and W seciotns</p>
<p>Online course at the CB website is great. </p>
<p>Forget about Kaplan. The 12 tests are all the same. The questions (Math) are just taken from the Blue book as they are but the numbers in them are changed.</p>
<p>Writing section for barron's will make it seem like you know nothing. I usually miss 1-5 on MC of Writing and on Barron's, I missed like 10. It'll make the test seem a lot easier but I don't think that's always the best way to prepare for it. Generally, Barron's is much more difficult.</p>
<p>is the sparknotes one with the 10 practice tests good?</p>
<p>ok, think of it this way:
The Barron's Questions are really difficult. If yu keep doing them, eventually you'll master the hard questions. When you take the real test, you will nt be intimidated by the questions because they wuld be alot easier that the ones you practiced. Your score should go up.</p>
<ol>
<li>Don't forget the pre-test online at collegeboard.com- it's free!</li>
<li>Grab old PSATs...if your friends don't have them, their parents will.</li>
<li>Ask friends to order real tests they have taken.</li>
<li>Also, you can pay for CB's online program, which offers 320 math problems and all othey types.</li>
<li>Grab the old school red book of SAT tests</li>
</ol>
<p>Bottom Line, always go for real questions...PR and Kaplan don't cut it IMO.</p>
<p>Well, I think CB unquestionably has the best and most accurate questions from my experience, and cause they're the test-makers, but Kaplan has done wonders for me. (I improved from 10 misses in Writing practice to 3 on the actual test). I like their math strats, too . . . . </p>
<p>But as far as practice tests go, I think I'll grab the online test and maybe some other random ones.</p>
<p>The sparknotes didn't seem that accurate for the test, but I dunno</p>
<p>get the 10 real sat's (the redbook)- either 2nd or 3rd version. It's geniune, and it has solutiosn for 8 practice tests online. </p>
<p>Princeton's 11 tests are good for their explanations but not accurate.</p>
<p>Where's the best place to buy the red book? On amazon there aren't many options that are unwritten in.</p>
