Whats After the BB?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Well I am in a bad predicament, I have already done about 8 tests out of the BB about 7-8 months ago when I was prepping for my first SAT. Now I am ready to take it again, for the last time hopefully, this october, but I already know all of the questions/answers in the first 8 tests subconsciously. So I want to ask what are other sets of tests that are very similar to the real SAT? </p>

<p>Atm I am working on the Princeton tests, I have about 8 of them. I already know the Kaplan ones are horrible since I tried them when I was prepping for my first SAT.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I find Barrons to be pretty good. I also heard McGraw Hill isn’t bad but I don’t have any experience with those. When in doubt, start with your less reliable tests and move on to the more reliable ones.</p>

<p>McGrawHill and Kaplan are easier then the test. I rather you guys take Barrons/PR then Kaplan/McGrawHill.</p>

<p>However, other then those why not past SAT’s/PSAT’s, and the Online Course?</p>

<p>I hear lots of mixed things about PR, it’s harder, it’s easier, it’s the most accurate besides BB, it’s not accurate at all… I mean it’s all been said here, so idk about PR, but I head barrons is harder for sure</p>

5

<p>so which one should you use?</p>

<p>PR, MH, Barron, or Kaplan??</p>

<p>PR: No.
MH: One of the few well-edited SAT books.
Barron’s: Another well-edited SAT book.
Kaplan: I can’t recommend Kaplan books on the whole.</p>

<p>wait why not PR? Is it just inaccurate? or something?</p>

<p>PR’s SAT book with 11 tests has way too many errors, according to people on CC. It’s corroborated by Amazon reviews. </p>

<p>PR’s regular SAT book looks to be OK, judging from CC reviews and the Amazon reviews.</p>

<p>I haven’t used a PR book this summer, so I can’t give a PR book my personal stamp of approval. But I can say that Barron’s and McGraw-Hill publish very good SAT books.</p>

<p>I’ve got some different opinions formed now. I tried out Barron’s yesterday and it sucked, I found the questions to be asking for answers ith a bit of ‘assumption’ rather than clear in-text answer. Don’t know if that last sentence made sense but heres my list from the books I have tried so far.</p>

<p>PR Cracking the SAT: Its alright.
Kaplan: I hated Kaplan math don’t know for sure about CR.
Barron: Most people recommend this but their CR workbook was not that great.
MH: Will try out soon.</p>

<p>Btw the Barron I used was an older 06 CR workbook copy since that is the only one my library had.</p>

<p>I use PR for all my AP studying and I also used its SAT practice tests to work on the math section. I found no errors in the sections I completed, and I found the questions to be quite similar to those I saw on the actual tests (I took the SAT 3 times).</p>

<p>The math. Well there was a couple of mistakes. idk about cr or grammar.</p>

<p>i like kaplan just cuz my scores are super high 220s yeahh (;</p>
