Help me pleeeeeaaaaaase

So guys, I'm an international student who's planning on taking SAT I on Oct and SAT II on Nov. I know it's a little bit too close from the due date (well, way tooooo close actually) so please please help me! You might have heard it a lot, like really a lot, but what do you think are the best SAT I and SAT II (lit and math lvl 2) prep books I should get? They can't be more than 5 in total because I can't afford more than that. I'm thinking about getting the blue book (CB's book) and barrons 26th for SAT I, Kaplan and barrons 5th for lit, and barrons 10th for math lvl 2. Any other suggestion? Oh and, other tips for prepping them besides buying books will be greatly appreciated

I'm doing the sat I at the same time as you. In terms of prep books, get the bb which is quintessential to your success. You don't always have to buy books though as you can borrow some from the public library. Nevertheless, there are always online resources such as sparknotes vocab lists

you've definitely got the blue book and barron's for math2 right.

idk if I would go with 2 books for lit, although I admit I haven't taken the test. I would go with 1 book for lit (whichever one is recommended more by the ppl on CC) and 3 SAT books, 2 of which are supplementary (e.g. kaplan's 2.4k, CR/Writing/Math WB, depending on which is your weak point). Basically, then, you have 3 books to divide between SAT and lit.
