<p>I honestly can't find this information anywhere else...</p>
<p>So...Does this book really give "REAL" SATs...</p>
<p>and if so...which ones are in the 3rd edition...Which test dates...</p>
<p>I don't know why I can't find a straight answer...so I'm asking here...</p>
<p>Is it like: May 2005, May 2006, October 2007... or are they just tests made up by College Board and deemed "certified" or "real."</p>
<p>anybody...?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>Ok....thanks a lot guys</p>
<p>The 10 Real SATS is for the old SAT....so basically its useless now</p>
<p>it was replaced by the BB. Official study guide...</p>
<p>actually,i think you can use 10 real sats' CR section for practice....... the passages-based reading didnt change that much..... (but for some reason,i think CR from the old sat is harder =_=)</p>
<p>yeah in the 10 real SATs, there are sentence completion questions and passage based questions, and they're good practice, but a few of the passages show up in the Blue Book and other released tests.
the math section can also be useful if you ignore the quantitative comparison questions
hope that helps =)</p>
<p>The 10 real SATs were actual tests from Nov. 1995 - May 2002.</p>
<p>Many of the problems that were in there reappear in the blue book, but quite a few
don't, even if you exclude the quantitative comparison problems, so the 10RS remains pretty useful until the successor comes out, which should be any day now in this run-on sentence.</p>
<p>The 10 Real SATs are very valuable practice. In fact, some of the passages in that book have been recycled as short passages on more recent tests.</p>
<p>Just skip the analogies. The sentence completions and long passages are still quite realistic...better than anything you can get from Princeton, Kaplan, etc.</p>
<p>The Blue Book consists of tests that have been recycled from Old (pre 2005) SATs. Take a look at the scale. They give a range not a precise score. There is a reason. The BB tests are good practice but not real SATs. For real materials go to the College Board Store and order all the old PSATs. Just $3.00 each and very good practice. Also try to get hold of the released tests from March 2005 to the present.</p>
<p>Umm, dark knight, quite a bit of the material in the Blue Book is original, and the practice tests are excellent. The book is far from a waste of time.</p>
<p>I think that your suggestion about PSATs is a very good one, though: those tests are excellent practice, too.</p>
