<p>I just finished my sophomore year of high school, and am looking to begin preparation for the SAT. I'm already enrolled in 2 prep courses, but they both start in September. What books are good to study from by myself until these courses start? Thanks =]</p>
<p>College Board's Official SAT Study Guide (A.K.A. "The Blue Book")</p>
<p>me too..but im not worried about the SAT as much as I am about my 4 APs and 2 college classes.</p>
<p>My suggestion for the SAT (since you have plenty of time) would be to read a ton. This will really help for the Critical Reading section. Also, if you want to better yourself on the math section, take a few practice tests from princeton review or the blue book and read exactly why specific questions had specific answers. Then you can start thinking like the test which is half the battle in my opinion. I did that math strategy and moved my psat score from a 56 to an sat score of a 720. So it can be done. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>You're enrolled in TWO prep courses? Why???</p>
<p>dude, just relax over the summer.</p>
<p>thanks to those who answered, i'll make sure to stop by b&n before camp starts =]</p>
<p>the reason i'm enrolled in 2 prep courses is because a) my parents are pyschotic and think both courses will get me a good score, and b) i have my sights set on cornell so we figured it's best to start preparing early</p>
<p>lol i think blondie888 is teasing you off. the more you prepare for the SAT, the more you can relax in junior year. right now just focus on reading and writing, those two need lots of time. about math, ewww, if you're good at math then go for it but i don't know how much you learn from high school.</p>
<p>I think you should take only one course, then see how it goes, before your parents blow the money on a second course. They need to get their priorities straight! The SAT is not SO important that you need to sign up for two courses before you even try it. Plus, doing them at the same time as school is self-defeating. Some of the courses have a lot of homework, and you'd possibly be learning conflicting strategies. Terrible idea to do two courses at once!</p>
