<p>I was at borders today and was curious if they were still selling the old sAT books. Of course, they were. I was wondering if I should tell them but I did not see anyone appropiate to speak to, and I doubt they would heed my advice.</p>
<p>The books are officially worthless, so I wonder what all the bookstores will do with them. It is also slightly (unconsciously) misleading to sell them. Also couldnt find most of the SAT II books.
Same goes for Amazon BN...</p>
<p>I could see a them maybe on 25% off, because you can still use a lot of the problems, just not the analogies and some math, but still good practice.</p>
<p>I saw a Princeton Review AP Chem 2004 book that was exactly the same as its 2003 counterpart. Same text, same problems, same everything. Books as much as 5 years old are as much effective as ones published this year.</p>
<p>netshark, its a totally different test. The AP and SAT II exams do not really change over the years and neither do the prep books. The prep books hardly if at all change with new additions. They even fail to fix the typos. I see typos in books in their 10th edition.</p>
<p>Taking an exam out of 10 reals, as a practice exam is definitely worthless. Using the problems for practice (not as an exam but just doing problems) is of some merit. </p>
<p>But are you really that niggardly that you will buy an old SAT book rather than a new one, just because it is a quarter off?</p>
