Xiggi’s advice is good. Get as many as you can and cherry pick the methods that work for you from each. You’ll find a lot of overlap.

But MOST IMPORTANTLY, follow Xiggi’s advice about using official College Board tests! Frankly, they are the only ones worth their salt. Even the old 10 Real SATs has a lot of valid material for Math, Reading Comp and Sentence Completions. Doing the real tests two or three times is better than using someone else’s flawed material. (A note here…my book is one of those with some limited practice material…about 2 tests worth. I debated for a long time about putting these materials in the book, because as good as they are, they’re not perfect. They can’t be. I finally decided to include them to supplement a somewhat meager supply of real tests.)
