<p>Hi everyone, I am in a bit of a pickle here so some help is appreciated. I just got my October SAT scores back and I got a 1620! I got a 550 in math, 530 in CR, and a 540 in English.</p>

<p>I am aiming for a 1800 minimum here and my last chance for the SAT is the December 3rd test. So I have some time to study. I have the CollegeBoard book (Big blue) and I saw that a lot of people didn't recommend it for studying, only for the practice tests. Can someone explain to me what's wrong the BB and what other materials should I get if needed.</p>

<p>Nothing is wrong with that blue book. Don’t listen to them. They say that because they didn’t subscribe to the online course, mentioned in the book. </p>

<p>Math=Grubers + Dr. Chung’s
Writing: Kaplan. Don’t rely on Kaplan too much; the people there just teach useful grammar tips (like when to use whom and who, or when to use less and fewer)
Reading: Direct Hits Vocabulary</p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, what’s so good about Dr. Chungs?</p>

4

<p>Bump. I am looking through the BB and it is helpful, but not very good at explaining concepts. Is Dr. Chungs really that good?</p>

5

<p>I’ve never used it but I’ve read many comments about people raving about how awesome it is.</p>

<p>if you go on amazon.coma and search for it then you can get a preview of some of the pages. use that to judge for yourself.</p>

<p>So I bought the Dr. Chungs SAT math off Amazon this morning. I’ll look at it when it arrives. I am excited!</p>

<p>BB strategies r useless, get rocket review and read sparknotes 7 deadly errors for writing, buy the two editions of direct hits for vocab/critical reading, buy grubers for math :)</p>

<p>Well it’s too late now lol</p>
