<p>Dr.Chung’s! Based on experience of myself and several friends.</p>
<p>i am following barrons sat 25th edition only. is the math section from barrons sat enough?</p>
<p>What is the best SAT book for Critical Reading? I’m pretty poor in that section and need to whip myself into shape. Any ideas?</p>
<p>I am a student from a country where english is not used and I scored 1340 without any preparation for the Test. I have accidentally got a Barron’s SAT Guide and I would like to know whether its vocabulary list of 3500 words is worth memorizing it. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I went from 1490 to 2340 in December and I am an international from Kazakhstan with poor english.</p>
<p>I like the collegeboard one, and Princeton Review is always great.</p>
<p>Which SAT book should I buy? Do I need to buy one at all?</p>
<p>Don’t buy one! Its a scam!</p>
<p>Well, they’re good prep. I think Princeton review’s is probably the best. Or the collegeboard one.</p>
<p>I am a mom, my daughter will sign up soon. We have read, but first time to post. This is what she used so far. Is this all she needs? Trying for NMSF:
Blue book - (just did a practice test b4 Freshman, but will use this more)
Critical Reader -Erica Meltzer (hasn’t started)
Sat Grammar - Erica Meltzer (loves this)
Gruber’s Math workbook (on order from Amazon but out of stock since published)
Online CB Sat course sophmore year</p>
<p>Should we get anything else? Something instead of Gruber workbook since it is out of stock everywhere? One of the 2400 books?</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice.</p>
<p>Hi. I’m preparing to pass the SAT tests this summer. Probably in May and June first. I have to pass the general SAT test, the Math Subject Test Level 2 and the Physics Subject Test.
I’ve already bought: The Barron Math Level 2 Book, the Princeton Review for the Physics subject test and finally the College Panda Writing Book, advanced guide.
I just wanted to know if I needed to buy another book to have a good prep. For the reading section, which book is the best? And for the math section, studying for the subject test is pretty much the same, right?
I’ve also read that the best thing is to buy the official Collegeboard book. Agreed?</p>
<p>I’m really aiming for the highest possible scores (I’ve always had very good grades at school), so any information would be appreciated. I’ve got time and motivation on my hand to work…</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Dr. Steve. Is that you?</p>
<p>@CHD That’s not me - I know the rules of this forum. But I’m glad I have a fan. I like the poster’s nickname but I’m curious why get012 was chosen - seems like a bit of a low score to be aiming for. :)</p>
<p>The Blue Book and SAT Online course are both good. I recommend keeping 3 journals to track the errors AND GUESSES you make (I’m going to make a big post about this soon) while taking the practice tests, and then addressing those patterns/correcting them with targeted practice. If you’re under a time crunch, SAT for Jocks condenses a lot of good advice in a short space, but you need to target your practice at specific areas.</p>
<p>I also want to second Xiggi on being very careful about books that present questions that are “harder than actual SAT” questions. In my experience, some of these might be useful if you’re extremely familiar with the SAT already and just want to sharpen already-sharp skills (e.g. you’re scoring 2300+ and are shooting for 2400 and are already familiar with all the published tests). But in general, you really want to practice previous SAT questions rather than other peoples’ approximations of SAT questions.</p>
<p>I soooo want to go into a discussion of the Keynesian beauty contest and its relationship to SAT prep right here, but I’ll stop now :)</p>
<p>guys , please fast any one have answers explanations for real sats ?? </p>
<p>So far the books with the most positive reviews I’ve seen in this thread would be:</p>
<p>Collegeboard’s blue book
The black Book
Erica Miltzer’s Critical thinker</p>
<p>I am not thinking of buying all these 3 books, but if I had to drop one of them, which one should I drop? The pros/ cons of each of them?
Please help Thanks :)</p>
<p>I agree and have all three books. You must get the BB; practicing real tests is the most important part of your prep. I think CR is better than the black book because it is much more detailed. It has more info on one subject than the black book has on all subjects combined. Follow the advice on this forum for all the non-CR sections.</p>
<p>Note: If you can get the money, I would recommend the black book and Gruber’s math.</p>
<p>^Thanks. Also I searched up Gruber’s math in amazon and there’s a 2E for $450 as the cheapest price (which is absurd) and the older one for $8. Is there much difference between the two?</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s much difference at all. Get the older one (what year is it?).</p>
