I’d go with Gruber’s actually.

I’ve had experience with Barron’s, and The Official Study Guide, released by The College Board, and I didn’t like either.

I’ve seen the Princeton Review, too, and it was alright, but I did like Gruber’s better. To be honest, I haven’t looked at Kaplan, though I do have a SAT prep CD by them, and i don’t really like it. hahaha.

I’d go with Gruber’s. It’s a really big book, but it helps a lot.

kaplan is great and all - but here’s my review on these books

KAPLAN is good for people who know what they’re doing - these wont teach you much, they’re just reviews.

PRINCETON REVIEW will teach someone who doesnt know a subject, then get him/her to do well on the exam - it’s not just reviews.

I choose PRINCETON REVIEW over KAPLAN

The best books to study are The College board’s official SAT study guide and "Answers and Explanations" by Peter Tanguay.
Answers and explanations has the solutions to the 8 sample SAT tests in the official SAT study guide. Good luck!
