<p>Hey guys.. I never planned to take the SAT i already took the ACT but now im going to have to take it... I just took a practice test today not touching SAT before.. i got a 630 on CR and 590 on the MATH.. math was due to geometry I had an amazing geometry course in my HS :)...
So ive been reading up and basically everyone has diff opinions.. like Barrons, Grubers, PR, etc...
I am going to get the blue book and aside from that what should I get, what i need is this:
A solid review in Geometry basically..and wouldnt mind some general SAT math.
And vocab for the CR i guess..
So what book should be good for this.. Barrons/Grubers/Underground/Rocket review, etc..? and for the CR like the vocab is in the books.. or there are separate lists which I can get?
Thanks a lot I really appreciate your help.</p>
<p>Barrons, PR and RR. (BB is must)
I heard abt Test Master's List, u can give Sparknotes and RR's word lists a try (RRs word list has been posted in CC in some previous thread)</p>
<p>hey thanks.. but I think I will be able to get only one book.. so which one is good out of them?</p>
<p>Are you aware of what will be given before the maths section on the SAT? (Included are 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangle information but there is much more.) Knowing that will help; you will need to know how to apply that information but also that it is there. </p>
<p>Also, I have to share something I learned with you just today. <em>laughs</em> Related to SAT Geometry! The distance formula is actually just the Pythagorean theorem, so that's one less thing to memorize. I run across a distance problem in every or almost every practice test.</p>
<p>Edited to add: If you are getting only one book, get the official book from College Board. You can also study up at the library.</p>
<p>do u have BB? Get it first. That's the most important one. Then, I'd say Barrons.</p>
<p>thanks guys... asif there are two barron books.. SAT 2400 and how to prepare for the SAT.. u can see them here:
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/102-3077376-0183315?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=barrons+SAT&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go%5B/url%5D">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/102-3077376-0183315?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=barrons+SAT&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go</a>
which one is the one that I want? also is the math workbook good?
Thanks</p>
<p>well, evryone in CC recommends the Barrons 2400. I used Barrons math workbook, 4th book in the list.</p>
<p>^ just to add to Carpe Aeternum -
a nice connection between the slope and distance formulas:
slope = rise / run
distance = sq.root( rise^2 + run^2)</p>
