<p>@Invent: Back at home, I see that we have PR and McGraw Hill (not Barrons). PR is good because it has score charts, but only ONE sample upper level SSAT (plus one lower SSAT and 3 ISEE).</p>
<p>While the McGraw Hill has 3 sample upper level SSAT tests — but no scoring chart, which you may not need given the formula provided by Dakshina above. One nice thing about the McGraw Hill is that it has explanations of the correct sample test answers, the PR book does not.</p>
<p>So…if I had to buy just one, I’d buy the McGraw Hill…even if it looks thinner than the PR. We bought them for the sample tests, not really for any vocab prep — though both books contain helpful test taking strategies (mostly regarding pacing and guessing).</p>
