Hmm, I just bought my first SAT prep book.

<p>Right now, I'm a sophomore, and with the mere $15 I had, I wanted to buy a Latin study book -- alas, they all were priced over $20, so I bought the 'SAT I For Dummies' book. Anyways, do you guys think this is a credible book, and ALSO: What are some tips for how to approach these types of prep books to study with? Thanks.</p>

<p>return it and get collegeboard's official book</p>

<p>Yea, that's what I would do ^.</p>

<p>Eh, I'll just pick up the collegeboard's book on friday, then.</p>

<p>But, movin' on to the second question: What are some tips on how to approach these types of prep books to study with? Thanks.</p>

<p>What a coinkydink. I just bought the blue book yesterday and it was my first SAT prep book that I bought. That is, if you don't count an AP Euro and a PSAT prep book. :)</p>

<p>The blue book was written by collegeboard, which is the organization that writes the test, so you've basically got the practice tests that will be most like the actual SAT.</p>

<p>After I buy the book, how would I study with it? In what method would you all recommend?</p>

<p>I never did any SAT prep. I don't think you need to worry about it unless you're very bad at testing.</p>

<p>Return it, and buy a good novel or something.</p>

Did you check out the thread on the Xiggi method? It might work for you. Don't have the URL, but it's located in SAT Preparation.</p>

<p>Go to the SAT Prep section and read about th xiggi method, its like a really long thread and i think it has been made a sticky. There is some good info aside from the incredibly long posts</p>
