SAT Prep Book Questions

<p>So I'm using a Barron's SAT Writing Workbook, Conquering the SAT Math by Mc-Graw Hill, and Barron's 2400 SAT. Have anyone used any of these, and if so, can you give me some insight on them and their effectiveness. Thanks</p>

<p>Also quick help please?:</p>

<p>Judith took my sister and (I, me) to the magic show last night. (the answer is me; why?)</p>

<p>During the intermission, Jorge came over and asked my sister and (I, me) to go out after the show (the answer is me; why?)</p>

<p>When he asked for audience participation, my sister and ( I, me) volunteered to go on stage. (the answer is I; why?)</p>

<p>Wow, I can't believe I'm confused about "me" and I".</p>

<p>Well, to answer your first question, I have used McGraw-Hill’s Conquering SAT Math. The highest score I’d ever gotten on a practice test for Math was 660. I bought the book a week before the June SAT, worked through the practice questions, and scored 690. So it isn’t bad.</p>

<p>Now onto the grammar:</p>

<p>As a general rule, “I” is used when you yourself are doing something. So, as in the third example “My sister and I volunteered.” It’s you and your sister doing something; someone isn’t doing something to you.</p>

<p>Now, when you are being acted upon, “me” is used. So “Jorge took me,” or “Jorge asked me.” The fact that your “sister” is mentioned is utterly irrelevant. Jorge is the person who is doing something, and you are being acted upon. As such, “me” is used.</p>

<p>theres a neat trick, basically you just remove the other person out from the sentence and see which makes more sense,</p>

<p>1) I went to the magic show or me went to the magic show, which sounds correct ?</p>

<p>2) Jorge asked me or Jorge asked I ? which makes more sense ?</p>

<p>3) I volunteered to go on stage or me volunteered to go on stage ?</p>

<p>Does anyone know about the SAT prep books?</p>
