There are a lot of good review books for the SAT.

I recommend the Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd Edition issued by CollegeBoard, the company that administers the SAT. With that guide, you'll receive ACTUAL tests (that were used for previous tests) for practice, and advice written by the test-writers themselves.

Hi Luz,



The most important book is The Official SAT Study Guide (aka the Blue Book) from the College Board. This is the only book with real test questions.



Personally I am a fan of PowerScore books---I know the author quite well ;). You can preview free chapters here: http://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/content_chapters.cfm. But there are many SAT prep books written by test prep companies. You can buy books that cover all three subject areas (math, reading, and writing), or books that cover each section separately and in more depth. Look for books that explain the content tested (such as right triangles) and then show you how that content may appear on the SAT. Make sure they have a lot of practice questions after each content section so that you can master each topic.



You can also find some good free test prep online. Sparknotes has a decent SAT review, although they omit some important concepts and add a few that are not tested on the SAT. They do not delve into the tricks of the test, but they offer a great review of the content that is required.

(Note: the Official Practice Tests from 2005, 2006, 2009, and 2013 are the same as the tests listed above).



To save money, visit your local library to see what they have in the way of test prep. They should have the Blue Book as well as some SAT prep books.



Good luck!

i think of guy or woman workout books for each problem ought to rock, even with the undeniable fact that I by no skill used them myself. I used Kaplan SAT recommendations 2011 and that i think of it grew to become into solid. i did no longer consider countless the severe interpreting solutions even with the undeniable fact that.

The guy above me is correct. I used those practice tests, and they were pretty clear predictors of where I lay. I got a 2320.
