SAT preparation?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I want to take the SAT in the spring and want to get 3 or 4 books to study. I know for sure I’m getting the "Official SAT Study Guide" and I’m going to need the "Hot Words for the SAT" so I need opinions for which other book I should get. My GPA isn’t so strong so I need good SAT scores. Here’s my list:
-Official SAT Study Guide
-Hot Words for the SAT
-Cracking the SAT, by Princeton Review
-Barron’s SAT 2400:Aiming for the Perfect Score
-Barron’s Critical Reading Workbook for the SATs
-Cracking the SAT Math 1 & 2 Subject Tests
Anyone who’s taken the SAT, which book was most useful? and is it necessary to get SAT Subject Test books to study?
How many questions can you get wrong or omit on the Math level 2 and Chemistry SAT II tests and still get 800?
I just took these two SAT II tests last Saturday and I feel pretty good about them, but I was just wondering how many questions College Board generally allows you to miss (or omit) and still get an 800. When do they begin to take points off from a perfect score?
How do I score this SAT practice test?
I bought that HUGE SAT practice book with 8 different practice tests in it. Below are my "scaled score ranges" for each section:
*Critical Reading: 540-600
*Math: 520-600
*Writing: 510-640
So now my questions are the following:
1) Does my final score include all three sections?
2) If so, does that make my final overall score range from 1570 to 1840?
3) Did I do well?
4) What is the highest you can score on the SAT? I know the highest you can get is 800 in each section but I didn’t think a perfect score went as high as 2400. Is that right or wrong?
5) And what is the average that most people score? Am I above or below average?
