<p>I'm thinking of buying the barron's "2400: Aiming for the perfect score" to try and get my score from a 2130 to 2200-2300. Does anyone have any experience with the book? Was it useful? Any other suggestions? Thanks</p>
<p>don’t buy it… </p>
<p>I did , tried going through it for a day, now I would give it away to anyone who requested it, waste of my time tbh</p>
<p>well, i loved it!
try borrowing it from the library for a week or something to see if it “works” for you.</p>
<p>I’ve never used it, but I used Barron’s ACT 36 book. It summarizes things pretty well, and I imagine the SAT book would do the same.
Also, Barron’s is notorious for making extra difficult tests. Since you already have a great score, it’s the harder problems that are going to make the difference between a 2130 and a 2300…so it seems that Barron’s would be really effective.</p>
<p>I looked through the Writing section of the book recently and was impressed.</p>
<p>I loved the Barron 2400 book because though everything looked easy enough, I got almost every other question wrong, especially in the math section. So ironically, it was helpful in that it taught me when to be on guard.</p>
<p>Seems useless for CR but it was very helpful for me for writing. I went from scoring roughly 59 mc to 72. My sister told me the math concepts were very useful though I never used it so I can’t give you my opinion.</p>
<p>It’s alright.</p>
<p>If you want a good arsenal of test taking techniques get the RR book. The rest just comes from practicing.</p>
<p>I have one, but didn’t really use it. From what I can tell though, it seemed pretty useful. I know that it focuses on the higher level questions which is probably going to be more useful than most general SAT prep books</p>
<p>i briefly used it, only for critical reading. it definitely summarizes concepts that other books don’t get into</p>
