<p>I gave my SAT for the first time in December and my score was 1580...... -_-
here's the break up-
Critical Reading-490
Math-570
Writing-520
I know the score's are really low! Well I only used the College Board's Blue Book.
I know that i can do much better at the Math section (a bit more of practice). But my CRITICAL READING IS HORRIBLE! and my writing.....I have no comments on it! :P
I WANNA INCREASE MY SCORE TO A 2100+ and I'm ready to practice as hard as it takes to get the score.
I decided to look up for some books and I found my self sorta drowned in reviews for "Barron's SAT", "Barron's SAT-2400", "Kaplan's", "Princeton Review" and "Gruble's SAT GUIDE". No one likes "Kaplan's" and "Princeton Review" but people like the "Gruble's" for it's Math(which i'm not that concerned about). I also heard about "THE BLACK BOOK" BY MIKE BARRETTE but no one actually discussed about it. It's mainly available on amazon but i'm a bit skeptic about the reviews on amazon about this book. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? IS IT WORTH A SHOT? I also considered the Barron's books cause they are known for their over preparing questions and tests. I feel that the Math part of the Barron's SAT would be really easy for me but the critical reading would be a challenge for me and the Math part of Barron's SAT-2400 would be challenging (in a good way) but the critical reading would be super hard for me! WHAT SHOULD I DO? COULD ANYONE PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHICH BOOKS SHOULD BE USED TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL??</p>
