<p>I'm an international student and I plan on taking the SAT and the US and World History Subject Tests in Q4 of this year. I was wondering what is a reasonable amount to spend roughly on prep material? I've heard amounts from $0 to $10000.</p>
<p>If its possible, it would help if anyone can recommend any existing publications as well :). I already have the Official Collegeboard SAT Study Guide, and Barron's Aiming For 2400.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you’re only talking about books and maybe software, I don’t see how you could really spend more than, at most, a couple of hundred dollars. You might–just might–want two books for each test. Depending on where you live, they might have these books available in a public library, or in a used bookstore.</p>
<p>Would you think $200-300 is reasonable? And I tried my local library, but the only books they have are the SAT for primary school kids (An unrelated test in the UK with the same name).</p>
<p>The only book you need for the SAT is the College Board Blue Book (which you already have) and copies of both volumes of Direct Hits. </p>
<p>For subject tests, one prep book for each subject will suffice. I spent less than $100 on SAT/SATII review materials and my scores are quite good.</p>
<p>Check the Internet for any free resources. Also, try Amazon for used prep books that are essentially the same thing but cheaper.</p>
