<p>Xiggi provided with some down-to-earth methods to "beat" the SAT. Some of my questions may have been looked at many times before however, I feel the need to address them again and hopefully get some more views on SAT materials.</p>
<p>My first concern: Rocket Review, a book I consider getting, but I'm not sure. Does Rocket Review write up unique approaches, or strategies that by now, everyone who uses PR, Kaplan, etc. knows? I've heard many good things about this book, however, the last thing I want is a book that's recycled Princeton Review SAT I material: I've used PR, Kaplan, and Barron's before and they were mediocre at best. Of course, Xiggi encouraged purchasing as many materials as one can but I'm not sure if the aim of the game here is to get more SAT practise (synthetic tests are not...real) or more strategies...which brings me to my next question.</p>
<p>I'm not the advocate of using multiple SAT practise books simply because incorporating multiple strategies in my test studying didn't work out for me. However, I think everyone here will agree with me that practise with real tests from the Blue Book and only the Blue Book (or CB sources) will be at least a sufficient study routine. What I'm looking at is a specific strategy, one I can come to use successfully on the SAT. So are multiple books, good or bad? Should one stick with a strategy (I'm looking at Grammatix right now...I need something new), or buy lots of books, or what? </p>
<p>That's all the questions I can think of now. As for this first post, I'm actually a former member of CC; I just forgot my password and the email that held my password (long story). I'm just contemplating the need for whether or not, many prep materials is necessary. I'm sure some of you are content with just the Blue Book however...I know that's not going to be my situation. This time however, I want to seek a more efficient study schedule. I would greatly like to hear any opinions.</p>
