Ran out of BB tests~

Hello
I've been insanely practicing for the SAT and I have like 1 practice test left and it's not even completely empty. Is it worth it buying another book and starting over? I don't really want to erase everything.

Thanks for your opinions.

That's entirely your choice. If I were you, I'd try to squeeze in a little more practice if you're that passionate about the SAT. So yes, you can always buy another book.

Thanks for your response. It's not that I'm THAT passionate, I just need more practice.

I think I'd try another book, not BB, since you're done with that one. I like Barrons, because the questions are harder and more challenging than BB, which makes the real SAT questions seem easier.

Dont' use other books not made from collegeboard!!! Only use CB Because THEY are the ones who write the test. Any other book won't give you the correct practice!

If you need more CB tests, get Released ones! That's what I did. I got like 20-30 released tests that I practiced from

Official SAT Online Course:

https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.org

Like others have said, do not use any tests not made by CB.

Thanks. I don't think it's worth it though, I found some released tests.

It's up to you, just keep in mind if you run out it's always an option.

For anyone wondering, I'm sure this will be helpful. This site: satquantum - satpracticetest
gives explanations (videos) to all the questions from the released tests.
