<p>I took my SAT twice and have a 2210. I am a HS junior.</p>
<p>Which book do you suggest I use to study this summer?</p>
<p>Last year I took two classes that both used just the blue book.</p>
<p>I also looked at Princeton Reviw a bit on my own.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Oh, and mainly I need help with CR and Essay Writing.</p>
<p>Previous scores:</p>
<p>1st time- M: 800, CR: 700, W: 670 (E: 7)
2nd time- M: 710, CR: 680, W: 710 (E: 8)</p>
<p>[Barron’s</a> SAT 2400: Aiming for the Perfect Score](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-SAT-2400-Aiming-Perfect/dp/0764138057/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236473835&sr=8-1]Barron’s”>http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-SAT-2400-Aiming-Perfect/dp/0764138057/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236473835&sr=8-1) is helpful. The tips it gives for CR is different than PR and Barron’s Preparing for the SAT. It’s writing section is also pretty unique. The practice questions in the book are hard as hell though, but they are meant to be challenging, and if you can do well on the practice questions, you are headed for a good score.</p>
<p>Yes, I did hear that Barron’s book makes you think that you are going to fail and then your score ends up very high.</p>
<p>Unique writing section as in the grammar or the essay? I only missed a couple of questions on MC for writing, but my essay score definitely dragged the overall writing score down.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, when I took the SAT in eighth grade for CTY I had a 9 on my essay.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what it had for writing section (read it a while ago), the book in general stood out compared to other prep books.</p>
<p>^^ actually I thought the Barron’s 2400 was easier than the SAT. maybe it’s just me being crazy again… anyway, if you don’t mind buying, get the official course for the practice questions. and if you get your hands on some particularly good or tricky questions, and provided it’s legal to, then sharing is caring 
(don’t share if it’s illegal to and/or banned by CC)</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>What is the “official course”?</p>
<p>As in the official blue book solution manual?</p>
<p>No! (and there is no such manual unfortunately. the closest thing to it is this one published by Test Masters, which is actually quite good) It’s the “Official SAT Online Course” (a link should be mentioned somewhere in the blue book… mine had a card right in the middle of it offering 10% off for buying the blue book!) offered at collegeboard.com - it has more official practice questions made by College Board, and a few other handy extras (like additional prep material, etc) I’ve heard it’s a pretty good compliment to the blue book, and as I said above, having the blue book gets you a slight discount on the price.</p>
<p>Oh, okay.</p>
<p>Thank you all!</p>
