How is this SAT study plan?

Hi all,

I have taken one SAT practice test, and I got a 2200.

Math: 800
Critical Reading: 650
Writing: 750

My current plan is to use Maximum SAT by Pete Edwards to study and the official Blue Book with the Testmasters answer book to practice and learn from my mistakes. I am also using Direct Hits volume 1 and 2 for vocab. Is this a good plan? Have you had a good/bad experience with any/some/all of these books? Do you have any suggestions for other books or a different plan?

Thank you,
JH

I have a friend who used solely Study Point's prep book, and it helped him tremendously. Anyone have any experience/advice with that book?

I have yet to start using it. I am hoping someone else on CC has some experience with it.

Rocket Review is the best when it comes to critical reading and writing. Literally, the best.
