What SAT & ACT Prep Book should I buy??

<p>Hi guys!
I'm looking to buy a SAT & ACT book that gives you details, strategies, basically everything, because I want to do better the next time I take the SAT & ACT, any suggestions??</p>

<p>Heard the CB (College Board) book is only good for practice tests. Heard the REAL ACT Prep Book is okay. Also heard the Sparknotes book is good for a general understanding of everything. What about the Princeton Review book & Kaplan book?? Are they any good??</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would say definitely get the CB book, and get the Princeton Revew Cracking the New SAT book. If you have TONS of time to practice, then also get the 11 practice tests from PR. I don't know anything about the ACT.</p>
