<p>which is the best and most effective prep book to improve the MULTIPLE CHOICE portion of the writing section.</p>
<p>i really need some improvement in this area, as i got a 12 on the essay but only managed a 640 in the writing section.</p>
<p>go figure.</p>
<p>thanks. :)</p>
<p>Pretty much any prep book can help you here. I've used Maximum SAT and I'm using Barron's 2400 right now. Just brush up on grammar rules and you should see improvement, but a book more specific in writing may be even more helpful (but I don't think it's necessary).</p>
<p>Rocket Review is good</p>
<p>hmm so barron's 2400 and this rocket review are good?</p>
<p>i'm looking for a writing section only book since i mostly have CR down and i'm taking math classes.</p>
<p>Well in that case I would just go with Barron's Writing Workbook for the New SAT. I haven't used it, but the general consensus on Barron's seems to be that they overprepare you, and I guess if you really want a high score then that's the way to go.</p>
<p>Princeton Review GrammarSmart is pretty decent. It helped me go from high 600s to 750+.</p>
<p>Kaplan Kaplan Kaplan!</p>
<p>err so barron's, princeton review, kaplan are all good?</p>
<p>anyone use these?</p>
<p>which do you prefer, which do you recommend i get of the three.</p>
<p>i should think i only need 1 book. :)</p>
<p>I just bought PR Grammar Smart and Barron's Writing Workbook. :)</p>
<p>which is better in your opinion?</p>
<p>don't keep me in suspense.</p>
<p>The Brian -
The best book we at ceeae.org have encountered for the Writing Section (Multiple Choice Questions) is Barron's 2400. The second best book is Kaplan's SAT 2400. </p>
<p>You can read all of the reviews on the aforementioned site. We have not reviewed Rocket Review and Maximum SAT, sorry we cant help you there. </p>
<p>If you get the Barron's 2400 please copy and memorize page 126 for the hierarchy of grammar errors on the Id Sentence Error questions.</p>
<p>If you ask nicely and PM me, I would be happy to reiterate this page for you, but the book has many more info and strategies that make it worthwhile for you to purchase it. If you are short on money, go to a bookstore and take notes in the store, Barnes&Noble and Borders have no problem with this strategy.</p>
<p>PS - Congrads on your essay score, very few test takers get such an exemplary score!</p>
<p>wow, i hadn't heard of the website before.</p>
<p>i'm currently sifting through the reviews and it is very helpful.</p>
<p>thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Thanks for your kind words, and please help us get the word out to friends and college counselors.</p>
<p>If you need other advice, feel free to visit the site or PM me, if you want. My email is also on the site (ceeae.org).</p>
<p>Barron's writing workbook. I did horribly on the mc writing section also but after using this book for a while I'm seeing improvement.</p>
<p>You could try a generic mc prep like <a href="http://www.masteringmultiplechoice.com%5B/url%5D">www.masteringmultiplechoice.com</a>. The book's pretty good, and helps across the board for ANYTHING that's multiple choice - SAT and beyond.</p>
<p>i used barrons and kaplans writing workboook to get 720 up from 600. Then retook after using barrons 2400 for an 800</p>
<p>which should i get?</p>
<p>barron's or kaplan's writing workbook?</p>
<p>I don't know about Barron's 2400... I bought it awhile ago, but its writing section can be kind of misleading, because they talk about errors that aren't actually on the real test, like using pronouns without clearly saying what they refer to. College Board doens't have a problem with this, but Barron's says it's incorrect.</p>
<p>oh.</p>
<p>i'm leaning a little towards kaplan..</p>
