<p>How is the new edition of Barron’s how to prepare for the SAT? I heard its practice tests are extremely hard. Is this true?</p>
<p>If you are talking about the SAT 2400: Aiming for the Perfect Score book, I find that it is extremely boring to read, and very little advice on strategies themselves. I recommend you buy [SparkNotes</a> The New Sat](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1411401506/sr=8-1/qid=1153319810/ref=sr_1_1/103-6341191-5219812?ie=UTF8]SparkNotes”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1411401506/sr=8-1/qid=1153319810/ref=sr_1_1/103-6341191-5219812?ie=UTF8), that book has some really nice strategies that seem to work. And, it is also not boring to read.</p>
<p>There is also an online version of the book at:

<p>I’ve heard Barron’s tends to be harder than the real SAT, but don’t have that book myself. The PR book has good strategies and tests, tho.</p>
<p>The Barron’s stuff is harder that the real thing.</p>
<p>Which one has the 3500 word list?</p>
<p>Barron’s 2004 something has the 3500 word list</p>
