<p>If I have the first edition, do you think it's worthwhile to buy the second edition?
I heard that there are only three new practice tests, so I'm kind of worried that it is just waste of my money. </p>
<p>Should I buy the 2nd edition or should I just go with Princeton Review and other books?</p>
<p>I’ve been wondering the same thing :)</p>
<p>What i think I’ll do is finish up the first edition, then buy the 2nd. It works for me because I’m the type to forget questions from less than 1 year ago (haha.) So it will be like getting 21 practice tests (plus chapter questions,) even though 8 are repeated. It wouldn’t work if you remember things easier than I do, but it’s my idea :)</p>
<p>If that fails I’ll probably get Barrons. Since (from what I’ve heard) it’s more difficult than the actual test, I’m thinking if I can get through it I’ll be okay on the real thing.</p>
<p>I have copies of both the 1st edition and the 2nd edition on hands. I don’t think you need to buy the 2nd edition if you have the 1st edition already. I didn’t go into great details of the introduction and guide part of the two books,but I think they are the same expect that the 2nd edition has a smaller font.</p>
<p>Also, for the practice test, the 2nd edition has 10 while the 1st edition only has 8. However, tests 4 to 10 in 2nd edition are exactly the same as tests 2 to 8 in the 1st edition.
So it wouldn’t be necessary for you to buy the 2nd edition since you can get extra practice from the official practice tests from the collegeboard website, as well as other tests from other prep books.</p>
<p>I actually think it is worth it to get the 2nd ed. even if you have the first. Although tests #4-10 (BB2) are identical to tests #2-8 (BB1), and all the “prep” material is the same, the first three (BB2) tests are real SATs, unlike the other practice tests. Very valuable…</p>
