<p>Hi</p>

<p>Does anybody have a recommendation on a prep book for me to use this Summer?</p>

<p>I am just in need of one that has practice tests, but xiggi was against any practice tests not made by collegeboard. i have 5 from the bluebook left, but i am planning on using another 5 or so.</p>

<p>THere is the PRinceton Review 11 tests.....anything better? should i just sign up for the college board online course? I would rather use a prep book than online, but any suggestions on a book w/ 5 or more full length sat practice tests? thanks</p>

<p>I just got Gruber's New SAT (see <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060581700/sr=8-1/qid=1153927994/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-9893729-2278521?ie=UTF8%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060581700/sr=8-1/qid=1153927994/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-9893729-2278521?ie=UTF8&lt;/a&gt;), a prep book recommended by xiggi, and just by skimming through it yesterday it seems to be a very helpful book. The strategies are designed to help you get the correct answer quickly and seem to be very well explained. There are 5 practice tests. I haven't done any of them, so I can't tell you how close to the College Board's they are, but if you're interested in not deviating to far from xiggi's advice this is probably the book to get. And don't you love the name?</p>

<p>haha gruber's. i love them</p>

<p>Xiggi's advice is great but it's not gospel. You're not going to bomb the SAT if you don't follow his advice word for word. </p>

<p>The 11 Practice SATs book is GREAT. I don't have Gruber's but heard they were good for math.</p>

<p>Barron's 2400........................</p>

6

<p>math was the section I've scored highest on, so I am hoping to get a book focusing more on grammar and CR</p>

<p>Grubers...anything else??</p>

7

<p>Yea...I'm going to get Barrons 2400 as well.... but I need a book with mainly practice tests that EXPLAIN the correct answers. the blue book doesn't do that.</p>

8

<p>Barron's does that. kaplan does too but the questions r sooooooo easy</p>

9

<p>yea... i want to stay away from the error-riddled Kal Plan. </p>

<p>I heard Barrons 2400 doesn't have any practice tests.</p>

<p>I think there are 6 more practice tests if you purchase the CB on-line course. You also get a $10 discount if you already have the blue book.</p>

<p>yea i have the blue book.. .. anybody else think the cb online course is better than Barrons or PR??</p>
