<p>I now have the CB Blue Book and the RocketReview Revolution, which I was told are great books for SAT I prep. But how do I use them together?</p>

<p>I have 8 weeks of summer, and 8 Blue Book practice tests...do I learn from RocketReview and test from Blue Book?</p>

<p>I intend on testing every Saturday morning of the summer (eight times) to show my progression and get comfortable with the test, but I was told that I shouldn't take this prep course approach to studying because I might develop bad habits with the test and keep doing them without realizing...what do you think?</p>

<p>BASICALLY:
1) How should I use the Blue Book and RocketReview together?
2) Is it bad to take the Blue Book practice tests weekly?
3) Anything else you want to add in?</p>

<p>To # 2- No, not at all. Have you read Xiggi's Prep Advice thread? It's incredibly useful. :) </p>

<p>Not testing on every Saturday morning makes some sense. What I did was I took about 6 tests in timed sections (completing one test a week, but not in one day) and then did two tests with all the sections all together on Saturday.</p>

<p>Butternut, I don't understand your strategy. Does that mean you took 2 tests a week technically? How did it work out for you?</p>

<p>hey, whats Rocket Review like? What tips are given for Critical Reading?</p>

<p>And the SAT isnt the day summer ends. It is in October.. so you have 4 more Saturdays to prep</p>

<p>I'm actually going to be a Junior so I'm probably taking it in January. But RocketReview is great so far...it has testimonials and advice for a good chunk of the book. Afterall, the SAT is all a mind game--not so much a test of knowledge.</p>

<p>I still don't know how to use the 2 books in harmony though...</p>
