<p>Ok, so i'm a junior and plan to take my SAT for the first time in June. (After rescheduling several times.) I already went through the Princeton Review book and liked it and tried Grubers but really did not like it. I felt the explanations were a bit too hard to follow and not student friendly. I feel like it actually made things worse for me. My weakness is definitley math, but I would like to improve my scores in all sections. </p>
<p>I'm aiming for a 2000 or above and am currently around 1700-1800.
Suggestions?
Oh, and I have the College Board book, but I wasn't planning on using it until after I tried at least one other book.</p>
<p>Hmm, I felt like PR helped my math the most. I think you should buy the official College Board blue book, and see where you stand. Mcgraw-Hill is too big, unless you are willing to work through the whole thing. It’s good for writing I think</p>
<p>Ok, thanks.
I have the Official College Board book, but was looking for more suggestions. I think writing is my advantage, but I will check out Mcgraw-Hill. Thanks!</p>
<p>This depends on which section you’re weakest on…</p>
<p>For me, it’s math, so I’ve spent a ton of time looking for good math books. I would say NOVA’s SAT Math Bible is the best for most people. If you want tons of practice, the Princeton Review 11 Practice Tests is okay. Many of its answers (say, about one or two every test? At least in the 2009 edition, that is.) are wrong, but its questions are harder than the real SAT, for the most part, which is good preparation. Its explanations (for the answers that are actually right) are also pretty clear.</p>
<p>And…of course, definitely use your CB book. =)</p>
