Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I only have $30. I dont know what I should buy. Im considering Rocket Review or Barrons How to prepare for the SAT</p>

2

<p>assuming you already have the blue book, in my opinion the second best is kaplan 2400.</p>

<p>is there any specific subject you need to work on?</p>

3

<p>You should buy Official Guide and a practice book like 11 Practice Tests.</p>

4

<p>Princeton Review 11 Practice Sets.</p>

5

<p>no mostly definitely not 11 practice SATs it is not accurate at all. if you want more practice tests get the online course, but thats about 75 bucks. worth it though.</p>

6

<p>Umm, all of you guys are wrong.</p>

<p>If he already has the “Blue Book” then he has 10 tests already. Getting Princeton 11 tests would be useless since he needs some strategies.</p>

<p>For your $30, I strongly recommend "Rocket Review Revolution 06-07). It will be one of the BEST books you will ever get. The Critical Reading and Writings tips are AMAZING, PHENOMENAL, or however you want to put it.</p>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>P.S. I have the Princeton 11. I’m not saying it’s terrible but it’s only good if you already have the strategies and have depleted the tests on Blue Book.</p>

7

<p>Princeton Review’s 11 sets, I think, most accurately reflect the actual difficulties of the exam.</p>

8

<p>the Bible can help with the SAT a lot</p>

<p>^ LOL.</p>

<p>Epic.</p>

<p>As for your 30 bucks, I definitely concur with Quicksandslowy… Rocket Review all the way!
[Amazon.com:</a> The Rocket Review Revolution : The Ultimate Guide to the New SAT and the PSAT 2005-2006 Edition: Adam Robinson: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Review-Revolution-Ultimate-2005-2006/dp/045121644X]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Review-Revolution-Ultimate-2005-2006/dp/045121644X)</p>

<p>You can get used ones for like 5 bucks!
:)</p>

<p>Other than that, definitely buy the CollegeBoard Blue Book (if you don’t have one), and buy either Kaplan 2400 or Barron’s 2400. Helped me a lot!</p>

<p>wow i wish i had bought rocket review; i didn’t, and i took my SATs already, but they could’ve made studying less painful</p>

11

<p>You can also check out your local library, they may carry these review books as well.</p>

12

<p>Barron 2400, if that’s what u are aiming for</p>

13

<p>I bought Gruber’s (Math, Writing), Rocketreview (Writing, Critical Reading), and Barron’s 2400 (Generally everything) for 30-35 dollars. If you buy them all off of Amazon at one time you don’t have to pay shipping, so you save some money there too.</p>

<p>This is assuming that you already have the “essential” blue book. If you’re practicing for the SAT, there is no excuse for not using it.</p>

14

<p>save it, borrow from friends :)</p>

15

<p>im trying to strongly improve in math and polis my CR. I dont own the blue book.</p>

<p>I might buy RR and then buy Barrons once I get more money.</p>

16

<p>Definitely get</p>

<p>1) Blue Book - this is your first priority
2) Rocket Review - excellent for CR and writing
3) Barrons or Grubers - Grubers is really good for Math.</p>
