<p>The** Barron's How To prepare for the SAT 2007-2008** book seems great with its 3500 vocab words and strategies(haven't read it all but it seems okay, but the vocab list is online). I later found out that The Barron's 2400 book was better for me as I'm aiming for 700+ in each section. The SAT book cost me $30 and the 2400 book cost $20.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, both are still great books, but should I go ahead and return the SAT book? Is it worth $30? I know that my future is important but I don't want to waste money, especially when I already have the blue book(CB), Princeton Review, Kaplan, and both of these Barron's books. Should I just keep this book? I'm not poor, but is it worth my time?</p>
<p>But, the bigger Barron's is great because of its famous list, otherwise, the Barron's 2400 covers everything else. So you decide, list or no list.</p>
<p>It really depends though. If you are a foreigner, and like....... desecrated isnt part of your vocab, maybe a bigger list is helpful. But if you've gone to American schools and picked up on some of these "sat" words, i think 1000 or so should be fine.</p>
<p>When I look at that Barron's list, I, obviously, see many words that I don't know that appear frequently on the SAT. It really quite worries me and I don't know if the sparknotes is enough either. But I still can't get by the fact that I spent $30 on a book like this, but it might come in handy. I'm keeping it I think unless my parents(who really don't care too much) think it might not bee useful and convince me, otherwise it's staying.</p>
<p>EDIT: After some close observation, it appears that a vast majority of words on the sparknotes list appear in the Barron's list. Still, the Barron's is not something to ignore, but I think I'm focusing my attention on the sparknotes one for now. It
s too long to print but I'm paying close attention to this!</p>
