SAT grammar book suggestions?

Test Preparation
1

<p>any good suggestions for books on grammar? essay discussion should be very little and limited in the book you're about to suggest. </p>

<p>Also, NO BARRON BOOKS<=== I'm tired of finding more of their grammar books to be garbage. I haven't tried princeton review products or others, got anything to suggest? thanks!!</p>

<p>I’d recommend The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar by Erica L. Meltzer.</p>

<p>don’t try to learn grammar for the SAT, it’s a waste of time. Just read this: [Top</a> 10 Grammar Rules to Beat the SAT | Grockit SAT ACT Test Prep](<a href=“Kaplan Test Prep”>Kaplan Test Prep), and then practice a lot of writing sections from real SATs. Just by practicing, and going over what you got wrong, you can increase your score massively. I went from a 620 (10 MC wrong with a 10 essay), to an 800 (perfect multiple choice with a 12 essay), with only 3 weeks of practice.</p>

<p>ok, thanks satanman, i’ve heard a lot of posts like that. I should start to learn grammar and have a firm understanding with good grammar terms. and i should also just try to get the “jist” of what the errors are like. In some cases, using your ear for language can save you a lot even if you don’t know how to categorize the funny sounding part of the problem you identify.</p>

<p>I second the Ultimate Guide by Meltzer. It’s a relatively quick and easy read, and it is unparalled in its effectiveness. You should easily score 47+ raw on Writing MC if you use this book.</p>

<p>Sigh.</p>

<p>[The</a> Grammar Bible: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Grammar but Didn’t Know Whom to Ask: Michael Strumpf, Auriel Douglas: 9780805075601: Amazon.com: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/The-Grammar-Bible-Everything-Always/dp/0805075607]The”>http://www.amazon.com/The-Grammar-Bible-Everything-Always/dp/0805075607)</p>

<p>This is a very fantastic book. Check out the reviews. It’s comprehensive enough for the SAT but is written in a casual, readable way; I was able to digest it over two days from front to back without any struggle.</p>
