SAT Questions

I’m taking honors Chemistry in 10th grade. I’m sure that the Kaplan, Barron’s, and Princeton Review are the best books to review with. I need to know the best one. Please state your choice whether it is fact or opinion and also a few pros and cons to back up your claim. Any links you can provide regarding this would be useful.

Which book should be the best for preparing for Math IIC SAT Subject Test? I was looking through Barron’s and it seems pretty difficult to understand, considering that I only took trig but not pre-cal. I am looking for a book that explains the concept step-by-step instead of cramming everything such as Barron’s. I just dont think that Barrons is the right book for me. I already bought the sparknotes version b/c i thought it covered the material that we only NEEDED to know. What other books are out there? Kaplan? Princeton?

I have my SAT1 test after 1 week. I am worried about critical reading portion as my vocabulary is not that good.
I have got Barron’s SAT preparation book. They have got a 3,500 word list ….. do i have to learn all those …. If yes then How?
I never appeared for SAT before and i never gave PSAT aswell so i am really worried.
Please give some helpful tips and Preparation guideline.

I can’t decide between the book from Barron’s or the book from the Research and Education Association? they’re both around the same price, the barron’s has 8 sample tests and the other has 6. The research and education association one can come with a CD though. Are CDs helpful for these test (we don’t take the actual test on a computer)? If anyone has used either please help me decide….thanks

I went to barnes and nobles the other day…and i first took a look at THE OFFICIAL STUDY GUIDE to the sat and it gives out test prep. but it doesn’t explain the answer.
I also took at look at Barron and it was similar to KAPLAN….
i heard that Barron is more advance than what the SAT actually is…
Kaplan on the other hand it "underpreparing" as stated by others..
but i am considering Kaplan because it’s easy to follow..and the version that i saw had a CD which includes SAT coaching sessions from "Mel Robbins"

anyways..give me your opinions…?

I currently have Kaplan’s 12 tests, Princeton Review 11 tests, Official Guide, Collegeboard online course, Barron’s How to prepare for the Sat, Sparknote’s 10 tests. I want to know which of those books provide the tests most similiar to the REAL TEST(especially in the Critical reading sections)? And which book provides the best strategies?

Should I believe the results I get on Barron’s tests, or should I try others as well?

I’m taking the SAT this fall and i was just wondering if there were any books that worked out really well for some of yall but im using the college board book right now and i have this REA SAT book. So please let me know if you like barron, princeton, etc Thank thank thank thank youu soo much!! A billion thanks!!

I took the SAT last Saturday (March 1st) and Im thinking of take it again. . I own The Official SAT Study Guide by collegeboard but I want to buy another one. (I have a 2.9 GPA)

Which one is better for the SAT test prep?

*Kaplan SAT 2008 Premier Program
*Cracking the SAT, 2008 Edition by Princeton Review
*How to Prepare for the SAT: 2007-2008 (Barron’s)
*Barron’s SAT 2400

Other?

Is the College Board provided practice test for the Bio SAT really real tests? I found that on their practice test, I scored much higher than on the practice tests of Barron, Kaplan, Sparknotes

Well, I now have another SAT study issue at hand and that is organization. For the past couple of days, I’ve been trying my best to study for the SAT efficiently, but I always fail at this because I’m just not organized! I have about five SAT Prep books (CB’s blue book, Boot Camp for Your Brain, Barrons How to Prepare for the New SAT 2007, Kaplan SAT Comprehensive Program 2007, and Acing the NEW SAT I Math), tons of practice tests (QaS’s, CB practice tests, and other tests from the books mentioned above), three – four SAT Prep websites (number2.com, smartdoodle.com, ePrep for the SAT, and SATMathPro.com – though I think I will only stick to all except smartdoodle), and tons of vocabulary resources to check out (should I memorize SparkNotes words, BCFYB words, Barron’s words, ePrep’s words…which ones??!) + a lot of practice questions. I have SO many materials to use, that I don’t know how to cover them all..and it’s driving me crazy! I don’t want to get a little bit of this and a little bit of that because in the end, I will end up covering only a little information. I only have 29 days left until I attempt my second and last chance to improve my SAT score..there is NO way I can move my date to December (I already did that when I was originally going to take it in October), because I still need to take the SAT IIs before January. Please help me – I really want to study efficiently in these coming weeks, and I know I can improve my score significantly if I dilligently keep up with that. Many people have improved their scores immensely by studying for only a month and I know I can do the same!

For some of the books I have (such as Kaplans, Boot Camp, etc.), I’ve marked the only areas that might have important info and/or practice questions. I’ve skipped all the intro stuff that I already know from before, so, in some way, the work in some SAT Prep books is cut down for me. This month I want to focus more on practice and less on strategies and concepts. Practice makes perfect, so yes, this is what I want to do. The problem is though, I don’t want to ditch any prep books because they might have important information that could be useful and I don’t want to miss that.

I don’t want to make this post super long, so I’m just going to list information on the time and work availability I have to study for the SAT throughout an entire week. Maybe this will aid someone who is willing to help me out.

I’m a homeschooled student, so I don’t need to worry about going to school and having tons of homework when I come home. My schedule is something like this:

Monday – Saturday: 6:00 am to 4:00 pm (sometimes 5:00 pm) – this is the amount of time I give myself each day to study for the SAT. Then from 4 or 5:00 pm to about 10:00 -10:30 pm I work on my schoolwork. This schedule isn’t followed on Sunday though – I try to study for the SAT for the entire day if possible. I will also probably ditch my schoolwork for the last two weeks of October and focus more on the SAT (I know it’s such a silly idea, but I guess I need the time.)

I got a 1550 (460CR/510M/580W) on my first try on the SAT, and I’m aiming for a 2000 if not a 2100+ this time around. I know I could do this, since Math and Writing are the easiest to improve on the SAT, but I’ll try my best with Critical Reading. Like everyone says, "It’s easy to move from a 1500 to a 1900 or 2000, but it’s not so easy to move from a 2100 to a 2300". So I’m sure I could reach my goal if I put forth some effort into it.

I hope no one starts lecturing me by saying that I had so much time in the summer to study for this..yes, I know I did, but for some reason, it was hard for me to get back to studying. After prepping for about 4 months nonstop for my first SAT, I felt tired and my motivation level was down the drain. I don’t know why..I just couldn’t study. I studied on and off here and there during the summer though, but it wasn’t an amount that could significantly impact my score (although it did help in some cases such as vocab and Math). So please..I would appreciate if you guys could help me more than you could scold me. D:

Well, that’s that. I guess I’ve said enough. I know I’ve been a terrible nuisance already, so out of the goodness in your heart, I hope that you could help me out of this dilemma.

I’d really appreciate it.

I’m using a barron’s 2008 SAT II Biology book. I’m wondering if the 2007 version uses the same test questions as the 2008 version.

i’m in grade 10, planning to take my first SAT this June (as I understand most people take 2-3 tests and take their best score, right?). is this too early to study or is it ok?

also, which books would be recommended? i am deciding between the official SAT guide, Barron’s and Princeton Review. What are the advantages/disadvantages for each one?

Thanks!

If you have taken the SAT test recently please share your experience by telling us what you would have done differently. Were there any surprises? Were the questions harder than the ones administered by the College Board test book? Were they easier than the ones provided by Barron’s prep book?
