<p>I have taken a long vacation from the SATs and need some help. I'm a junior, and I was wondering that The Official SAT Study Guide is a worth buy. Is there an updated version of 10 real SAT's? </p>
<p>Also, I was going to buy a math and verbal workbook, and barron's 2400 or PR's craking the SATs. Which company should I buy from? Barron's or PR? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>YES you should definitely buy the Official Guide...those are the practice tests you really want. I'm currently trying out Barron's 2400. I've heard it's pretty good (it has lots of strategies) but the practice questions (no tests) are more difficult. Barron's 2400 aims to get you scores of 700+ in each section, so if you're aiming for top colleges (and provided Barron's actually delivers), then I would go with Barron's.</p>
<p>The Official SAT Study Guide ("Blue book") is the updated version of 10RS ("Red book")</p>
<p>i highly recommend mcgraw-hill's sat I .. COVERS EVERYTHING .. (900 pages) WITH LOADS OF PRACTICE .. and great content</p>
<p>I heard that barron's is a lot harder than the actual test and PR is similar to the blue book test difficulty. then wouldn't it be better to use PR? I mean you wouldn't you want the difficulty to be as close to the real tests? </p>
<p>I have tried both princeton and barron's freshman year. 10 reals helped me a lot to practice, barron's had many fresh math techniques, and princeton was reader-friendly. I found barron's very intimidating. You think I should give barron's a shot again?</p>
