Christmas and SAT Prep Books

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>For Christmas I’m asking for three SAT prep books. I’ve only taken the ACT and got a 32. I’m aiming for a 2250 on the test. If you had to recommend three books for someone new taking the SAT (I’ll take it in May or June) … Which three books would you recommend?</p>

<p>Thanks guys! :)</p>

<li>The Official SAT Study Guide (YOU NEED THIS)</li>
<li>Optional, for grammar: RocketRevolution (ignore some of the “tricks”)</li>
<li> ???</li>
</ol>

<p>For me, personally these are the only books I needed. If you’re particularly bad at math, I would consider Gruber’s SAT, but I don’t recommend it unless you failed Algebra 1 or something. And, I like RR because it has very organized grammar rules and practice, but honestly, if it’s too expensive (since it’s out of print), it’s not a requirement.</p>

<p>Honestly I never want to hear “Christmas” and “prep book” in the same sentence. Why in the world do you need to ask for prep books for Christmas? Wouldn’t your parents/guardian just buy them for you regardless?</p>

<p>this is perhaps the saddest post I’ve seen on CC…</p>

<p>… probably because i got the Official SAT study guide under the tree last year.</p>

<p>Anyway, why are you even taking the SAT? Your ACT score is pretty solid, and colleges rarely differentiate between them.</p>

<p>I’m confused to why this is sad? I have everything I need and want already… Why have my parents buy me things I can’t even think of right now when I could just have them get me a few books that would go to good use?</p>

<p>I know it’s not exciting, but I already have everything exciting I can think of lol</p>

<li>Official SAT Study Guide (the Blue Book)</li>
<li>Direct Hits Volumes 1 and 2 (technically 2 books, but cost about $30 total, so that’s like one book and a half)</li>
<li>???</li>

<p>^ Forgot about direct hits. I highly recommend it.</p>
