<p>I need to start studying and would like to know the 2 best books. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>people should look back a few pages every now and then. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Get the blue book "official sat study guide" and I recommend Gruber's. Some books are better than others for different sections. Gruber's has a great vocab list and it's pretty good for math, but it's not good for critical reading help. RocketReview is good for writing tips, but I think most of the good writing tips you need I talked about in a post called "essay tips." PrincetonReview gives good strategies for what to do when you're low on time. Otherwise, it's not very good, I don't think. I heard that Barron's is full of typos, and I don't know about Kaplan.</p>
<p>First, I suggest you take a practice test in the official sat book (BB).
See your weaknesses, and then select the book(s) you want.
CR - Barrons 2400
Writing - RocketReview
Math - If weak on harder questions - Barrons: How to Prepare for the SAT
If weak on concepts - Grubers</p>
