<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>A quick question, do you prefer one of the older Princeton Review books or the newer Mcgraw-Hill books? I personally loved the whole Joe Bloggs concept in PR, and I like all the techniques they use, its simple to remember, and seems to be effective. However, it is slightly outdated, but I don't know much that matters. Is an older prep book of better quality more helpful than a newer book of less quality (I think Mcgraw-HIll is low quality, just my opinion, so much pages, and not very effective in test taking). By the way, is there anywhere I can download some Official SAT Study Guide Tests :). I wanted to dl them ever since I saw Sal Khan's great SAT prep videos on Youtube (check his videos out, he covers every math and science topic you can think of in high school), he uses questions from those tests, so yeah I want those tests, but I don't have the money to go out and buy the actual book cause freaking Mcgraw-Hill was so much money and so little help :@. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>bump, anyone please? I also have Kaplan 2006, and Arco 2006. Which of these books have the most accurate practice tests?</p>
<p>bump, come on, can anyone give me a quick opinion?</p>
<p>Check your library for the official SAT study guide, whether the old or new one. That will be all you need for practice tests.</p>
<p>thanks, but what is your opinion on which prep book is the most accurate of the real SAT, PR or Mcgraw Hill?</p>
<p>Well, people generally use PR tests if anything other than Collegeboard. I have McGraw Hill, Kaplan, and Grubers. I haven’t actually done any from McGraw Hill or Grubers, but I can tell you that Kaplan is a bit too easy on the writing section. Go with PR tests if not official study guide tests.</p>
<p>you could also try Barron’s. it is a very nice book to</p>
<p>mcgraw hill workbooks r rly good…kaplan practice tests suck. i worked the entire 12 practice test book by kaplan and it was riddled with errors…the CR section was full of bad questions.</p>
<p>PR is okay…good for practice but they use to many gimmicks in strategy section
gruber is good for CR and math…writing section in gruber doesnt match the actual sat
mcgraw hill actually does a excellent match up of actual question difficulty and question type for writing, CR…but math is a little off</p>
<p>the best prep is using actual sat tests…i have 17 actual sat test from QAS service and PSAT tests as well, those are the best to practice with</p>
