<p>I studied for a long time, and I took one SAT test to see my ability, and i got 1550/2400.
I know all the SAT grammar rules, in fact when i get the question wrong, I know immediately on writing section of the test why the question is wrong. Same for math. but for reading, i barely know why the answers wrong, and its really hard to study alone on this, except for completion sentences.</p>
<p>So my question is: Do you think at this level, SAT prep programs will be useful?
I tried SAT prep course - GATE SAT and it was completely useless, because they won't review the test, and just move on by doing extra practice problems, instead of reviewing the wrong answers.</p>
<p>Anyway, IF you think SAT prep program will be useless for me, what prep books do u prefer?
what books? any recommendations?</p>
<p>All i want is 600 math, 600 reading, and 600 writing, that’s my goal.</p>
<p>Do you know some books that could bump my 500-580 math score to 600-650, 480-520 writing to 600-650 (I always know why its wrong, i just have trouble seeing it in one shot), and lastly 390-420 critical reading to 500-600 range. </p>
<p>Does the following score change your mind a bit on what books i should buy or use?
Since there’s so many books in the market, I have trouble seeing which one i should buy.
I have the Gruber’s book (full) but It’s too hard to self-study. I’m not sure if i have enough time (October test) to read that whole book. So far I finished reading Cracking the SAT, and Rocket Revolution (almost).</p>
<p>Thanks.
(Just an additional info, but I know when i take the CollegeBoard test, why the answers are wrong, EXCEPT critical reading- passage questions, as I’m not a native English speaker, and I sometimes feel like the passage is easy, and yet i get all of them wrong)</p>
<p>A prep course may help. They can work with you and individually tailor hte program. Critical reading is the best with a prep course, so I think it is a good route for you.</p>
