<p>I have the BB book. I havent exhausted the book yet but when i DO i hope it will be when i've already taken my SATs.</p>

<p>There are various opinions regarding these three books : PR, BARRONS, and KAPLAN. I'm just at a lost, not knowing what to buy. I not to concern about the tips in the books but more about the PRACTICE TESTS.
Which one of the 3 books' practice tests is the most similar to the REAL SATs?</p>

<p>Also, i'm scoring in the 1800s (lowest in CR-500s...reallyy trying to bring it up..any tips for the passages? :) ).</p>

<p>Get the online course. It has 10 more tests by collegeboard.</p>

3

<p>…bump…anymore opinions?
I want to work on my CR sections but i need more passages to read and practice on :frowning:
How did you bring up your CR scores as in how did you study, what did you use?</p>

4

<p>I agree with the other poster. To bring up your score, memorize vocabulary and take official CB practice tests. Get the online course with the 10 additional tests.</p>

5

<p>I will definitely get the online course but…</p>

<p>Can someone please give me your opinions on the 3 books? Which gave you the best results?</p>

<p>and did you receive good results from practicing on one of those books? : )</p>

<p>My personal preference is PR. It just seems like their tests for everything else is the most accurate, so I prefer PR’s prep books. Their explanations are also very detailed. </p>

<p>I’m using Barron’s PSAT prep book right now, but I don’t think it’s as accurate as PR’s. Sometimes the questions are really easy, and sometimes they’re really hard. </p>

<p>I haven’t used Kaplan, so I’m not really sure how accurate it is. </p>

<p>I think, in general, as long as you do lots of practice, what prep book you use doesn’t really matter. It should help you no matter what. </p>

<p>Here’s another CC thread discussing SAT prep books: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/538932-what-sat-prep-book-should-i-get-sat-book-reviews.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/538932-what-sat-prep-book-should-i-get-sat-book-reviews.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Good Luck!</p>
