Cracking the PSAT/NMSQT or Barron's How to Prepare for the Psat???
Hi,

I'm going to take the PSAT and was wondering which book is better. I read the revirews at amazon.com and barron's recieved bad replies talking about errors in almost every other page. However I haven't heard anything about PR's book. Plz help.

Whenever I'm stuck between books I just get all of them. I order them cheap off of Half.com. It's loading up my desk and bookshelves, but heck, more books for me!

But looking at the Barron's reviews, I think Amazon made a goof, because some of them are from like, 2002 and 2003, which would be a different edition. The PR and Kaplan reviews are all up-to-date.

It's long because of lots of test-taking advice, or because of lots of practice sections?
