SAT PRCTICE BOOK : Barron' 2400 or Princeton Review?

Question

I've decide i'm either going to buy Barron's 2400 SAT book or Princeton Review cracking the SAT. I'm looking for the book that is really going to teach me how to get a good score. I want the one thats easy to understand but really helps you with good questions. I need your help on which one to buy, give me your personal exerience on what book or books helped you get a good score.

Answer 1

PRINCETON!

barrons is overly difficult.

well if your the type who likes challening material, one that is much more difficult than the test, i would take barrons.

however, if you like the test (practice) to be exactly like the real deal, then take princeton!

Answer 2

I used the Princeton Review books to study for my SAT as well as my AP exams that I took in high school. I believe I bought about 3 of their study books and was not disappointed by any of them - they were much better than any of the other study books I also purchased for those tests. They did give some sample problems, but they also spent a good amount of time teaching you strategies to help you read the passages, answer the questions, write the essays, etc. I liked them so much, in fact, that I always recommend them to others and was disappointed that they didn't make one for my teacher's certification test. Good luck!

Answer 3

choose the one with the most sample tests. it's really that simple. the best way to study is to get familiar with the way they ask questions and the kinds of questions they'll ask. any prep book will have all of the basic information, but the practice tests are essential. the more famililar you are, the faster you will get at reading the test which will give you more time to work on the harder questions.

Answer 4

Princeton Review.  I will be a senior this year and I took an SAT Prep class this past year and that is what we used.  It will give u little tricks about the SAT. I have never even heard about that other one.
