SAT Math and Physics prep

Hello everyone, this if my first post on collegeconfidential, however i've been lurking for quite awhile now. Finding out some good information.
I am a wrestler in High School, who as of now, has a full offer to duke, if i get a 1200 CR/Math on the SAT reasonsing test, and i have to take two SAT subject test (or ACT with essay).

I have taken the SAT reasoning test (not very good, 570 on math, and ... on reading lol). However i didnt really study and i just went in and took the Sat.
I am enrolled in IB Physics (already took honors) and AP statistics (pre calc {teacher sucked}) therefore, i have deciding to take SAT subject test in Math 1 and Physics. I am also self studying AP in Physics. I am enrolled in AP computer Science.

Here are the list of prep books that im going to use as resources to achieve moderately high scores. Im looking for at least 600's in the reason test, and i must improve my Math and Reading on my reasoning test.

for Reasoning test, i currently own : McGraw HIll 2008 Sat, and the older version of blue book. I plan on buying the Grubers SAt book for the math section. (idk about reading.), i guess ill stick my mcgraw Hills.

for the AP Test: I dont have any books, but i plan on buying either Princeton Review (newest version) of the Physics B, or the 5 steps. Which should i buy ?

For the Subject Test: I plan on buying the College Board Math 1 and level 2 (newest edition) and either Barrons, or Princeton review newest edition. ( im leaving towards PR, becuase im looking for only 600 and aboves. Would mind having something greater tho.) and for the Physics i plan on buying the Princeton Review (newest edition) of the Physics.


Are my choice for books selection adequate for my goals. Im looking to raise my Reasoning test to 1200 or more (CR and Math) and each subject test to 600 or aboves.

Thanks everyone in advance.

-Marcus
