<p>Hi i have been preparing for my SAT, it's been years since i touched math at all. I realised that the maths section in the new SAT has changed and i'm still using the old books as reference. What are the differences in the maths section btw the old and new sat. appreciate help on this</p>
<p>I would also like to know!</p>

<p>Thank you Tanman!!</p>

<p>Just get "The Official SAT Study Guide: For the New SAT" by College Board (a.k.a. the "Blue book"). It's the prep book written by the test-makers or so they say. I have heard that the Princeton Review and Barrons are crap, so I tried one of their practice tests myself and found that it was true. The questions PR and Barrons provide are slightly different from the ones from the actual SAT test.</p>
<p>i believed there's an orange book too, the handbook i suppose, what's the different btw them</p>
