Upcoming Test Prep Books!

Test Preparation

<p>Just in case you didn't know, whenever you want to find the most recently published books (or those that haven't even been published) on a site like amazon, you sort by "publication date." </p>

<p>Look like PR has got a new line of books:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-4582616-0444057%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-4582616-0444057&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>As does Kaplan (no covers available):</p>

<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ix=books&rank=%2Bdaterank&fqp=author-exact%01Kaplan&nsp=score%01proj-unit-sales%02bin-fields%01none%02fpn%011&sz=10&pg=2/ref=s_b_np/002-4582616-0444057%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ix=books&rank=%2Bdaterank&fqp=author-exact%01Kaplan&nsp=score%01proj-unit-sales%02bin-fields%01none%02fpn%011&sz=10&pg=2/ref=s_b_np/002-4582616-0444057&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>And CollegeBoard:</p>

<p>I've found this info on amazon about two SEPARATE College Board SAT II subject tests books coming out September 28 (good timing for October tests!):</p>

<p>Biology
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0874476933/ref=pd_sim_b_2/103-1202762-9819009?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0874476933/ref=pd_sim_b_2/103-1202762-9819009?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&lt;/a>
or ISBN 0874476933</p>

<p>History
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0874476925/ref=pd_sim_b_4/103-1202762-9819009?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0874476925/ref=pd_sim_b_4/103-1202762-9819009?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&lt;/a>
or ISBN 0874476925.</p>

<p>Strange thing, both books are
Paperback: 500 pages
and
Language: English.
Well, English part is OK, I guess.</p>

<p>I called yesterday CB publishing and they were bouncing me to and fro, asking for the exact titles, cover looks, isbn's and almost my ssn, until finally said they'll research it and call me back.
They did today, and the typical CB shroud of secrecy is still intact and in place. All they said was that they can divulge and confirm information only from their site. No appeals or freedom of information act pages flailing can change that.
End of story.</p>

<p>Haha... I can't open up the links that Zachsta provided. How are the Princeton Review book covers like? What's so freaky about it?</p>

9

<p>There are people's faces on them. SCARY people's faces. Not really. But eh.</p>

10

<p>You know....isn't it kind of weird that some of these people are smiling as they do AP Calculus/Bio/Literature/etc?</p>

11

<p>and closing their eyes meditating</p>

12

<p>ya.......it's like...what the heck are they doing......they're weird...the 2004-2005 design is way better</p>

17

<p>Hahaha... those people on the covers seem to really enjoy doing A.P. tests!</p>

<p>Just being curious, has anyone experienced any trouble finding prep books? I couldn't find any Kaplan / Princeton Review / Barron's / Collegeboard / Grammatix 2005 SAT prep books at a local bookstore. :&lt;/p>

18

<p>Then just order them on <a href="http://www.amazon.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.amazon.com&lt;/a> or <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.barnesandnoble.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Yeah I'll probably end up doing that, stix2400.</p>
