<p>Howdy everyone! </p>

<p>I'm a junior struggling with the perils of SAT prep in the midst of APUSH, APEcon, and Honors Spanish 3... I'm sure many of you can relate and that is why I'm here for your advice :). </p>

<p>As it currently stands here are my December scores: (There's an entire story behind these which includes a lack of sleep, food, and sense of urgency for time...)</p>

<p>CR:510 M: 660 W:620</p>

<p>My mock scores from SAT Kaplan prep tests (I've taken 3)</p>

<p>CR: 670 M: 800 W: 710</p>

<p>As you can see.... I've had my ups and downs <em>cough</em> <em>cough</em> <em>vicissitudes</em> </p>

<p>At this point I'm really worried about keeping my Critical Reading and Math at the standard it is at. Thus, I have done some extensive research on what to buy (roughly an hour). I believe that the following guides could/will benefit me:</p>

<p>The PowerScore SAT Math Bible by Victoria Wood</p>

<p>The Insider's Essential Guide to SAT Critical Reading and Vocabulary by Larry Krieger </p>

<p>I used the SAT writing bible and it helpef me greatly. However, collegepanda is amazing too. </p>

<p>I used the collegeboard textbook with the barrons workbooks. Barrons questions are harder than the collegeboard so if you can get used to those the actual SATS will be easier since collegeboard does them</p>
