<p>Hey CC–I’m a little confused right now and would appreciate any help.</p>

<p>I’m trying to prepare for the SAT and I’ve found a couple books that could help me: [The</a> Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd edition](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2nd/dp/0874478529/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b]The”>http://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2nd/dp/0874478529/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b), and [The</a> Official Study Guide for All SAT Subject Tests, 2nd Ed](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Official-Study-Guide-Subject-Tests/dp/0874479754/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314570731&sr=1-3]The”>http://www.amazon.com/Official-Study-Guide-Subject-Tests/dp/0874479754/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314570731&sr=1-3). Which of these books should I get? I’m leaning toward the Study Guide for All SAT Subject Tests since it was published more recently.</p>

<p>I also wanted to get the Princeton Review’s [Cracking</a> the SAT](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375428291/sr=1-1/qid=1314569897/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1314569897&sr=1-1&seller=]Cracking”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375428291/sr=1-1/qid=1314569897/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1314569897&sr=1-1&seller=) in conjunction with one of the former two. Is this advisable?</p>

<p>Lastly, I was wondering where to buy the books to get them cheapest.</p>

<p>My apologies if this thread is in the wrong category. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>The book you want is the Official SAT Study Guide. There is a difference between the SAT and the SAT subject tests. The only similarity between the subject tests and the SAT is the name.</p>

<p>As for the PR book … no (an unequivocal no). There are better books on the market - e.g. Barron’s or Gruber’s.</p>

<p>Haha the subject test book is for SAT tests on specific subjects, you want the other one like IceQube said. Also I like barrons for a supplemental book</p>
