| SATmom,
Yes, the Testmasters has more complete explanations. My D used it together with the Blue book. The other book that Xiggi recommended and she liked was Maximum SAT, there's a new edition out and it's available on Amazon. |

| I have a bit of writing on some of my tests in the Blue Book, which kind of gets in the way of studying. Is there anyway you can turn off the timer on the SAT Online Course Tests, other than printing the actual tests out? | |

| Hi, I don't know if people still read this topic, but an interesting thing came up while I studied for CR.
I was reading this topic in the TestMagic forums, a test prep center in San Francisco, about CR. I'd advise those who are experts at the SAT to take a time to look at it and try to bring a discussion about this. http://www.urch.com/forums/sat-test/...ing-score.html | |

| aisgzdavinci: Xiggi is currently busy. I'm sure he'll get back to the strategy when he has time. He has given us enough tips to ace the SAT as it is. | |

| Yes, to say that "Xiggi lied" betrays the fact that he has helped so many people study for the SAT.
To think that everything he has written is still relevant, years after his first post, is proof of his willingness to honestly help others with his deep understanding of standardized testing.
He really didn't have to do all this. He could have bottled his method up, focused on his own pending problems. He could have sold this to long lines of anxious parents. He could have gone out with those he loved, doing things he loved, instead of stopping by these boards and solving the constant barrage of questions that pop up on this thread.
But he didn't.
And I hope we're all grateful. | |

| The only thing I could think of during the last 3 sections of the SAT was 1.) How badly my neck hurt and 2.) The best way to commit suicide from jumping out the window
after it was over, I was in a daze for about an hour later | |

| This is great, great advice (thanks, Xiggi!).
I know the College Board tests are the best. However, my son finished most of the 'blue book' ones this summer.
Are there any other sources for official tests??
Thanks a lot!!! | |

| Great, thanks so much Amu.
It did seem that paper tests were better (provided more of a 'real test' environment) but if that's what they have, that's great. | |

| Is the Red book 10 real SAT is still current? After the blue book and after 6 online tests, is this the next book I should work on?
Thanks | |
