Buying SAT prep books?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Hey CC--I'm a little confused right now and would appreciate any help.</p>

<p>I'm trying to prepare for the SAT and I've found a couple books that could help me: The</a> Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd edition, and The</a> Official Study Guide for All SAT Subject Tests, 2nd Ed. Which of these books should I get? I'm leaning toward the Study Guide for All SAT Subject Tests since it was published more recently.</p>

<p>I also wanted to get the Princeton Review's Cracking</a> the SAT in conjunction with one of the former two. Is this advisable?</p>

<p>Lastly, I was wondering where to buy the books to get them cheapest.</p>

<p>My apologies if this thread is in the wrong category. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>The book you want is the Official SAT Study Guide. There is a difference between the SAT and the SAT subject tests. The only similarity between the subject tests and the SAT is the name.</p>

<p>As for the PR book … no (an unequivocal no). There are better books on the market - e.g. Barron’s or Gruber’s.</p>

<p>Haha the subject test book is for SAT tests on specific subjects, you want the other one like IceQube said. Also I like barrons for a supplemental book</p>
