what is THE book to get for SAT prep..

<p>what's the best SAT prep book i can buy?</p>

<ol>
<li>The Blue Book (Official Study Guide)</li>
<li>Barrons How To Prepare For The SAT (mainly for vocab, practice tests way harder)</li>
<li>yeaahh... hmmm... PR has only a few techniques for maths that are really good... you know, they definitely contribute, but aren't really worth the money</li>
</ol>

<p>The blue book, naturally.
Barron's is only good for the vocab, like phillyland said. I personally think that it's questions are too difficult and don't portray an accurate image of the real thing.</p>

<p>You can never get enough practice.</p>

<p>but too much bad practice (Kaplan..etc) can be harmful.</p>

<p>blue book it is then</p>

<p>leave the blue book for last. do some other stuff first. Don't waste it...</p>

<p>Blue book is all I used, and my combined score btwn May + Oct SAT is most likely gonna be 2300. (Scored a 2240 in May alone.)</p>

<p>Blue book is only thing you need for practice tests, so long as you use it hardcore.</p>

<p>So if I have 3 books ( Blue book, barron and P.Review), which one should I use first ? :)
(P.Review's CR sections are kind of weird cuz they often contain only 1 long and a couple of short passages [ just 2 questions])</p>

<p>barrons will discourage you, believe me. you'll think you'll never succeed. so start with PR.</p>

<p>The blue book and Princeton review 10 real tests for the SAT. What is a 30 on the ACT like, a 2100?</p>

<p>30 on ACT is ~2010.</p>
