<p>I have read many reviews and in my opinion, based on the threads I read, I find both books equally good. But which is better to get 700+ in each of the three sections of the SAT? (Paired up with the college board book or princeton's review's 11 practice test obviously)</p>

2

<p>barrons...much harder</p>

3

<p>it may be harder but Kaplan is tooooo easy. It doesn't reflect the real thing.
barron's is better</p>

4

<p>but which book as the better strategies?</p>

5

<p>barrons hands down</p>

6

<p>"barrons hands down"
ru4real1666 did you actually use barron's SAT 2400 and Kaplan's SAT 2400?</p>

7

<p>haha yes...i used barrons and bought kaplan but returned it because after using barrons for about a month...their strategies seemes so much better/effective in improving my score and kaplan didn't really help me</p>

<p>but did you read the reviews for Kaplan at
<a href="http://ceeae.org/news_commentary/index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://ceeae.org/news_commentary/index.htm&lt;/a>
It reveals that the Kaplan'S sat 2400 is just as good as the barrons sat 2400, however the kaplan sat 2400 is better organized than the barrons sat 2400</p>

9

<p>well people on this board have made me biased against kaplan i guess</p>

10

<p>i sorta feel the same way</p>

<p>^^^
I agree...I had a Kaplan's workbook and a barron's...I only did 1/4 the workbook and stop doing it cuz it was easy</p>

<p>I used Barron's 2400 and got a 2310. I don't know anything about the Kaplan book though.</p>

<p>Was that the only book you used? How much did you improve from using that book?</p>
