How to effectively use the Barrons book?

<p>I was debating between getting the Grubers book, but it looks like Barrons is highly recommended. I skimmed through it at the library, an will purchase my own copy soon, but the book seems kind confusing... How do you use it? And how did your scores increase from using it??</p>

<p>Err, I wouldn’t get Barron’s. It’s always better to get the official Blue Book for the tests. Personally I like to get workbooks for the harder sections, but that’s a bit pricier. Luckily there are many great, free online resources for each section.</p>

<p>Barrons is… difficult. Especially if you are not one to really sit down for an hour or so and study the learning part of the book. Barrons is good, but also requires more time. The Blue Book is essential.</p>
