<p>For those of us planning to retake the SATs, which prep books worked for everyone?</p>
<p>I used the collegeboard one and the predicted my score pretty well, I was scoring around the 2200s and I ended up getting a 2240.</p>
<p>How about any of the other books? Kaplan? Barrons?</p>
<p>I've also been hearing good things about this Rocket Review book?</p>
<p>Input is appreciated.</p>
<p>^^Congrats on your great score! I have a question for you: How long did you study for the test (from the collegeboard book)? a month before the test?...thanks</p>
<p>umm I took SAT classes over the summer and, luckily, a couple weeks before the test our school had a week vacation. I studied during that week and also a week before the test.</p>
<p>I basically only studied by taking the 8 practice tests and analyzing my mistakes.</p>
<p>I used Kaplan and it did not prepare me adequately for success (old test).</p>
<p>I scored around 2200 in the CB books & scored a 2070. =(</p>
<p></p>
<p>How do you guys know your score from the Official Study Guide? It only provided score ranges. I used the official study guide and Rocket Review, and scored a 2330. Rocket Review has great strategies and tips while the Official guide gives you great practice.</p>
<p>For my Official Study Guide score, I just took the middle number in the ranges. For ex. if it was 700-800 i counted it as a 750.</p>
<p>Yeah I took the middle too. But there is no way even w/ the range a 2200 can become a 2070. Geez I'm mad!</p>
<p>Barrons worked wonders for me on the Old SAT. I think that their new SAT is just as good.</p>
<p>McGraw-Hill worked for me, since i was pressed for time, i skipped all the concept reviews and went straight to the lesson / sat practice problems. i got an 1830...compared to my PSAT score (this year) of 1400, so a 400 point jump is pretty good.</p>
<p>I used Maximum SAT and the CB book. My mom bought me just about every book made (Kaplan, PR, Barrons, PR 11 practice tests...) and I like Maximum best. It assigns problems and tests from the CB book based on what you just learned. I went up about 300 points from my PSAT without too much work...I just did assignments and practice tests according to the book.</p>
<p>Did any of you read the stuff in the beginning of the CB book? I just used it for the tests.</p>
<p>How about good SAT II Math IIc books? I need to take it in June or October.</p>
<p>I hear grammatix is way better than all the others but i have never tried it so idk.</p>
<p>I would definitely recommend grammatix. I am not a salesman though....</p>
