Is the Kaplan Critical Reading Workbook similar to Collegeboard's questions?

<p>Hi,
I've already done the Barron's SAT Critical Reading Workbook and have already gone through the old 10 Real SAT's book. I'm saving the blue book for last, so I was just wondering if Kaplan's Critical Reading is sufficient enough, meaning, is it similar to a real SAT? Or are the questions odd and ambiguous? If so, what books do you reccommend? Gruber's? </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know if the tests in 8 Real SAT's are identical or different from 10 Real SAT's? I already know there's a thread about this, but I don't quite understand it. Thanks so much!</p>

<p>No do not used Kaplan. It is the worst and most devianted test prep ever. I score a 2280 all thanks to Barron SAT reading and Princeton Review. I also used these two major company for AP exams and i got all 4 and 5.</p>

<p>That’s what I figured, Jimmy. I’ve already completed Barron’s SAT Critical Reading, with not very good results. Which do you recommend, Barron’s 26th edition or Princeton Review’s 11 practice tests? Thanks!</p>

<p>Sorry for late reply. My SAT scores just came out from the october one. It was a 2350!!! HAHAH 2 years of intense studying actually did pay off. Well, I am a SAT book fanatics. I am one of those people who buy every single 4 or 5 stars SAT books from Amazon. From PWN the SAT, Princeton, Barron, Kaplan( though I hate), Powerscore, Nova, and Bluebook. From my experience, I think the best one is to take as many test as possible. I took a total of 30 tests. Princeton Review is much better than Kapan, and also use Barron ( although it only has 3 critical reading section at the end) compared to the Princeton Review which has 11…
Barron is much harder though but has less practice test.
If money is not a issue, I suggest to take as many as possible.</p>
