<p>I am planning on taking the SATs for the first time as a senior in October. I have the whole summer to study and I am wondering which prep books are the best. I am planning on buying the College Board Blue Book because I heard how great it is, and I also bought the "12 Practice Tests for the SATs" by Kaplan. What other books should I get? I need particular help in math.</p>
<p>If you are getting the blue book and kaplan’s, that should be enough for practice tests. Have you taken any practice tests yet becuase posting your score would give us a better sense of what you need to work on. Anyways, I would also recommend direct hits and barron’s cr workbook if you have trouble with the critical reading section, barron’s writing workbook if you have trouble with the W section (also use <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html</a> for the essay) and gruber’s sat guide for your weakness in math. However, doing enough practice problems in math will increase your score to a high degree.</p>
