<p>I see. Does Barron's have a critical reading or writing book of this caliber. If so would it be better to but the Barron's math and the reading book instead of rocket review?</p>
<p>Barrons is horrible.</p>
<p>What makes it so horrible. The reviews on Amazon say good things about the MAth workbook. The only thing I want to know is if the book is updated for the new sat</p>
<p>Yes it's for the New SAT and it's amazing!</p>
<p>What fault can you find with it primitivefuture?!</p>
<p>There is nothing better - PR is O.K, but NOTHING compared to Barron's SAT Math Workbook!</p>
<p>OMG it's amazing! :)</p>
<p>What about the barron's verbal workbook?</p>
<p>I don't think Barron's verbal workbook is good, Kaplan sounds much better.</p>
<p>yeh.don't buy Kaplen.. has so many errors and it's too easy compared to real SAT.</p>
<p>seems most people tried Grammatix.. how much does it cost????? I wanna purchase one!</p>
<p>sometime last year i randomly got this fetish about not using books from any company except for CB. I guess it's because I think that doing non-ETS problems will screw my thinking for the actual test. . .it's horrible.</p>
<p>I have been practising sat 1's. I took them in June and need to take them again in November. I consistently score above 750 on all the blue book tests and PR, but on the June test scored 100 - 150 points less on each section. I wasn't nervous taking the test in June. What is going on?? How do I study to get better results on the November test?</p>
<p>vixen,
you should take the tests under REAL test conditions with REAL tests. That's the key. hope it helps.</p>
<p>I'm a little skeptical about buying the Grammatix e-book, since it is a little pricey compare to other books on the market. I bought RocketReview and am currently attending TPR course (my parents paid for that so.. yeah:). My math is around 730+ range, but not enough to get a 800. My verbal score is really bad (500ish) since English is not my native language (therefore, lack of vocabulary). So, if I want to increase my verbal & writing score to the 600-700 range and hit the 800 for math, should I buy the Grammatix book?</p>
<p>How do you guys think of Gruber's?It is seemingly lacking in CR guides.</p>
<p>Yea, Gruber's is not the best choice for CR. The Math section is good though. I haven't really read the writing much, but it looks like it has a pretty comprehensive grammar review.</p>
<p>Yeah,that book,with tons of grammar and Math reviews but very little CR instruction, surprised me a lot.Besides,I don't know why some people consider Dr Gruber 'the most prominent guru of SAT preparation' :D</p>
