<p>Guys who did extremely well on the SAT,
Which books are your personal Must Haves? Books you can't imagine your success without.. </p>
<p>Please everyone share your personal experience so that we can make a TOP list which I think can be very helpful for everyone..</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Ok, can’t say I did EXTREMELY well, but pretty good for the 1 time and my top-top-top choice is Barrons! Barrons 4ever! It rules, seriously:D!!
(PR sucks, used REA for French - ok, but slightly easier than the actual test)</p>
<p>what was your score? (im sorry if i already asked…)</p>
<p>ok, barrons, got it :)</p>
<p>The Collegeboard Blue Book, the 10 Real SAT book for CR, I literally only used Collegeboard material to study for SAT, I just practiced over and over again and got used to the type of questions/answers the SAT asks and looks for</p>
<p>It was 19…er…20? Oh god, can’t remember my own score…gotta go to bed:D I hope I increased(no please not decreased!!) it by at least 10 points lol</p>
<p>hahah lol looks like ur a really smart kid
i wish i were u :D</p>
<p>Oh no you don’t!!!4 weeks in a cast plus who knows how many weeks not walking like normal people…but I studied A LOT. Nothing else to do really:) Anyway, we had to ace this test!!and there’s a december date if you’re not applying ED.
Sorry, it was supposed to be a book thread. off to bed.</p>
<p>Hmm, I got pretty sweet scores and I just used the SAT Study Guide. You know, the huge blue book that has like nine practice tests at the end? I think it’s the College Board’s book, or the one they sell anyway.
Then again, I didn’t have access to any other book, so I didn’t even know there were different ones ^_^".</p>
<p>It is not what books you use, but HOW you use them.</p>
<p>@Iúileb
ive already registered for dec and wanna retake subjects in jan… </p>
<p>yeah, good night
i slept like 3 hours today but well… im a real red bull fan you know</p>
<p>just do like one test from a few different books
personally i think doing practice tests helps 200x more than actually reading any of the stuff in the books
i’d say don’t use the official collegeboard one… cuz the others are harder, they won’t set you up for false high expectations :D</p>
<p>I used only the Blue Book, and I’ll report on Nov. 20 if it worked out. ;)</p>
<p>The official book’s practice tests are a HUGE help imo.</p>
<p>Grubers is great</p>
<p>The Blue Book and the Red Book are awesome. Period. Nothin’ like official tests. </p>
<p>For actually learning material, I’d say Barron’s owns, too.</p>
<p>THE BLUE BOOK for sure! GREAT practice problems.</p>
<p>My CR improved 100+ points and my writing 200+ points.
and that was basically the only book I used. I tried using Princeton Review but the CR problems on there were pretty weird. </p>
<p>My average score for the Blue Book was basically what I got on the actual SAT. (2230)</p>
<p>Yeah but Barron’s is good for learning material. but for practice tests, the Blue Book has like 8 and that was plenty for me. Reviewing all the problems you missed, and why you missed them helps alot! Especially for the Writing section. </p>
<p>For CR, especially sentence completion, I wrote all the vocab words I kept missing and reviewed that and it helped alot as well.</p>
<p>Barron’s 2400. Personally, the Blue Book didn’t do much for me. It was REALLY really hard to scrape together 4 hours uninterrupted by anything. Even harder to get 4 hours on a full night of sleep. In the morning. Also, I needed help with LEARNING the material (don’t have enough math), not answering it</p>
<p>ok, and what about specific books like ‘how to write a perfect essay’, or math books, or wordlists? were any of them helpful? or you just used books with full-length practice tests?</p>
<p>The Barron’s verbal book was of immense help.</p>
<p>I thought Barron’s books for specific sections were really helpful.</p>
