Which book to buy?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>For ACT prep, I'm buying "The Real ACT Guide"; which book is the best for SAT prep?</p>

2

<p>The official Collegeboard guide, and probably any other book for techniques. Try barrons or rocket review or grubbers or sth. I personally dont suggest getting Princeton Review or Kaplan. Anything other than those.</p>

3

<p>Several books are good. BB is a necessity, because of its practice tests. But besides that, I recommend Rocket Review. People say that Grubers is really good for math, though I've never read it. Maximum SAT is also good, although there aren't really any strategies in it.</p>

4

<p>Just to be sure, is this the one:Amazon.com:</a> How to Prepare for the SAT: 2007-2008 (Barron's How to Prepare for the Sat I (Book Only)): Sharon Weiner Green,Ph.D., Ira K. Wolf: Books</p>

5

<p>"But besides that, I recommend Rocket Review."</p>

<p>I went to the Rocket Review website and clicked on "The Book", and it displays the 2005 edition; is that the latest one?</p>

6

<p>I'm pretty sure the latest Rocketreview is the 2006-2007 one. At least thats the one I have, and I just ordered it off of amazon around a month ago.</p>

<p>I also would highly recommend Gruber's, it has helped me a lot for the math section in particular. His "Complete SAT Math Refresher" is around 180 pages long, and explains every math concept that I have seen on the SAT.</p>

7

<p>Is this the same book as the one on Collegeboard?:Amazon.com:</a> The Official SAT Study Guide: The College Board: Books, or is the one on Collegeboard an updated version?</p>

8

<p>If I'm not mistaken, there is only one version of the Blue Book</p>

9

<p>Bluebook, Rocketreview.</p>

10

<p>blue book and grubers</p>

11

<p>how come the blue book doesnt come with explanations to the answers?? does anyone know where you can get a separate book with the EXPLANATIONS to the answers???</p>

12

<p>Testmasters. You can order online.</p>

13

<p>I would get the online course at collegeboard because it comes with explanations to answers to all of the tests out of the blue book while also providing 6 more practice tests. They have an online essay grading system, but I have heard lots of people saying that it's not very accurate.</p>
