<p>Hey meng, I recommend 10 Real SAT's, and basically the rest comes down to this: Barron's over preps you (tests much more difficult than real thing), while I feel Kaplan is on the ball or slightly more lenient than the real thing. It's all based on your learning preferences</p>
<p>1) 10 Real SATs (or even 8 Practice New SATS is better)...use both if you have time to take 18 practice tests</p>
<p>2) Didn't use Barrons but I've head its killer, esp in math.</p>
<p>3) don't know</p>
<p>4) I used Kapan for writing & was very happy w/ it, for the grammar. I don't know if any book is really that great for the essay.</p>
<p>5) No idea...but I wish I did cuz I sucked on my vocab. =)</p>
<p>use kaplan strategies book.. its good
vocab i just suggest online lists and hit em
11 Practice is good
Offiical is also good but wait off on that
Barrons is not that bad</p>
