<p>I see that many of the threads are a few years old, and although they probably haven't changed much, I'm looking for some insight into which to buy.</p>
<p>I've ONLY ever used the Blue Book, and honestly didn't even do much of it. Didn't really study for the SAT at all to be honest, so I'll take any advice I can get. I'm looking for a math and CR book that can take me from the mid 600's to over 7, and a VERY basic/beginners book for writing, as when I wrote my essay I realized that I had no idea what I was doing, and I never actually practiced writing an essay before.(ran out of time..)</p>
<p>So far I've heard Dr. Chungs is good for math, and Rocket something for CR. What do you guys recommend?</p>
<p>I haven’t used Dr. Chung’s, and am done with the SAT, but I’ve heard great things. Grubers is a close second in the eyes of most CC’ers. Grammatix and Rocketreview are good for CR, but good luck finding a copy of Rocketreview (without the help of $100+). I liked Barron’s a lot too. I used that one the most, and brought my score up 300 points, and hopefully 500 by the time I get my October scores back.</p>
<p>I used some older version Barron’s book (maybe 11, i think theyre up to 14 now) and although the format was a little off it had some tough practice tests for math that made the actual SAT seem easier. For writing I would stick to online resources (CC posts, spark notes) and just refer to the Blue book for practice.</p>
