<p>Ok well i've been skimming through the sat forums and i can't help but notice people denouncing ALMOST EVERYTHING out there like kaplans, princetonreview, barrons, revolution prep, etc. The only thing i heard good stuff about is the Bluebook. Ok well, what else is out there thats actually helpful? Nothing else?!!!</p>
<p>btw, is the BB only good for practice tests or do they cover helpful concepts?</p>
<p>Well of course BB is useful... if the makers of the SAT's book isn't useful, then what is?
The only other book that comes close to simulating the real test is PR.</p>
<p>Blue Book <33333</p>
<p>PS: Anyone want to answer my question? Okay... I just did a practice test in the blue book and to find out what you got for each section, do I take the average of the range?</p>
<p>Oh yeah and Rocket Review is good for Writing though.</p>
<p>So i see some books are good for particular sections </p>
<p>Rocket review - writing
Gruber- math</p>
<p>any other comes to mind?</p>
<p>RR is quite useful for all three sections. </p>

<p>You can either average the range (rounding up or down, your choice) or just score the test using a released QAS curve.</p>
<p>jamesford, when using a QAS curve, which one is best to use? There are different curves bc the released tests vary in difficulty. Would the blue book be considered more lenient or more difficult?</p>
<p>on a side note, are the RR tutorials helpful and worth the reading time?</p>
<p>The book that I primarily used (before starting doing questions) was barrons' 2400. I liked it, and it worked.</p>
<p>PR's 11 Practice Tests book has pretty good practice tests, but their CR is a bit too hard to be realistic. I used that and the BB, and they were pretty helpful.</p>
