Sat book- Barrons 2400 or Kaplan 2400?

Question

I already have other review books for the basic stuff (Collegeboard, Princeton review), but which of these two should I add? If you have used both, please compare and contrast, if you have only used one, please list pros and cons.

Answer 1

I have tutored for the SAT verbal section for the last few years, and I've always relied more on Barron's.  In my opinion, Barron's uses the more difficult reading passages and vocabulary and will leave you better prepared than Kaplan.  I'm not sure which would be better for math, but I have several math colleagues who use Barron's as well.  Good luck with the studying!
