Is Gruber SAT book is good?

<p>Is Gruber SAT book is good for prep and practice test?</p>

<p>If it is then for which sections</p>

<p>I don’t know what it’s good for, but what I can assure you is that it is absolutely awful for Critical Reading and Writing. Some say it’s pretty good for Math though, but I wouldn’t buy it, given its inadequacies in both CR and WR, I’d suppose it’s just as crappy in Math too.</p>

<p>I partially disagree. </p>

<p>Gruber’s has an excellent grammar guide. Apart from the grammar guide, which is worth its weight in gold, I don’t really know - I haven’t examined the other sections in detail. I do know that Gruber’s only gives you 20 writing practice questions after the 50 page grammar guide … :o.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry, if you meant the book’s guide itself and the tips it has to offer, then I have no idea. But if we’re speaking in terms of practice tests, stay away from Gruber’s.</p>

<p>Never used grubers SAT, but I have used the gruber’s math workbook.</p>

<p>And it wasn’t all that impressive. Sure there was examples, but it was like 100 divided by 10 or something equally easy.</p>

<p>I always liked barrons. It’s cheaper too</p>

<p>Barron’s writing workbook is good, though the math workbook is awful. Barron’s math is so full of mistakes that it makes it difficult to learn, and could easily sidetrack people.</p>

<p>Oh, I never used its math workbook, but I have the cr and the writing ones, and they ARE AMAZING <3</p>

<p>Again, barron jumped my cr score for a 200 points. highly recommend it.</p>

<p>But the math, yea, it gets pretty annoying after a while</p>

<p>Use them both for practice only when you run out of other tests. However, both of those books tend to have a lot of errors, so watch for that and be prepared for them when taking the practice tests. For learning, the best tips I have learned so far have been from Kaplan Critical Reading Workbook and BB for CR and Barrons has a good writing section. All in all, use Grubers for your last resort when thinking about practice tests.</p>
