Final Touches to SAT

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>So I usually make 80s in math, high 70s in writing, and low 70s in reading. I need to boost the reading. It’s just the finishing touch to my SAT score. What should I look into? The Rocket Review?</p>

<p>Recently I’m hearing about Rocket Review, is it REALLY sth one can rely upon?</p>

3

<p>That’s what I’m asking for. Will it help me get my verbal and writing scores closer to 800?</p>

4

<p>I was just wanting others to help both of us out! I wouldn’t buy an unknown book among so many known companies as long as people in CC highly recommend it, so, I’m just expecting others to answer the question too!</p>

5

<p>hmm… i have RR… wouldn’t say its THAT great… and RR isnt really an unknown book; if you can find it on bookselves at barnes and nobles and stuff… its not unknown. Anyways, I see no reason why you shouldn’t give it a shot, IMO any book that recommends the CB’s practice exams over its own stuff deserves a looksie.</p>

<p>hope that helps :)</p>

<p>Well, yeah, sorta! I live in a city where in a library, u will hardly find an SAT study guide! So, I can forget about Barnes and Nobles right? Well, obviously there is internet, but I don’t want to buy books and then wait 10 days to get it! So, I always prefer to get a book 4rm library and just check that out. So, it seems like RR might not be really a good choice if I decide to buy a useful SAT study guide!</p>

7

<p>Umm…amazon delivers in 3-5 days…or pay like 10$ more for 1 day shipping.</p>

8

<p>Predator, I don’t want my to spend MONEY for Study Guides right now! (Since I already have four Study Guides for SAT only! So, buying more is useless and a waste of money, isn’t it?)</p>

9

<p>Which leads me to the question as to why you have 4 other review guides for the SAT…</p>

10

<p>If those other 4 SAT prep books are like Kaplan, barrons, etc. and stuff, then you should get RR… I would recommend it much more as compared to those other books. Like I said, those company books prepare you for their OWN tests, not necessarily for the CB SAT.</p>

<p>Predator-----Yes, I have four Study Guides, let me explain it why!
My brother graduated high school last year and to get the best SAT Score he bought PR last October.
In order to do a workshop I had to buy the Blue Book (well, actually, it’s like, in the workshop the Blue Book was a lot cheaper than in the bookstores)
My uncle bought the Kaplan (well, this is sth I hardly look at!) which was on sale! (So, it’s not sth I really like or use)
And finally, McGraw, well, I didn’t buy it! (yeah, I’m sorry, I’ve 3 SG!) I can get it from my school lib and keep it as long as I want! (so, kinda like u can say I own it!)
Besides all these, my dad whenever went to a big city and saw sth on sale (SAT Cds, Practice Tests, etc), he bought it regardless of its quality!(I don’t blame him!) </p>

<p>I guess, that explains why I’ve four!</p>

<p>And I suggest anyone to own only Blue Book-------that’s the only genuine one! To review, Barron’s and Princeton are good.</p>

<p>Well, yeah I agree w/ u smartasslilazn, besides RR, I’ve heard some other names-- like lazy students’ way probably should be a good one too! Has anyone heard of LazyStudentsWay?</p>

12

<p>I’ve never heard of the lazystudentsway.
I would not recommend Kaplans though.</p>

13

<p>Just buy grammatix and using the Blue Book and Official Online SAT course and you’ll be fine. . .</p>

14

<p>lol on my scale of 1-5 rating for books … 1 being worst and 5 being best</p>

<p>Kaplans = 0
Barrons = 2
McGraw = -3
PR = 3
RR = 4
Gramatix = 4.5 <— some stuff i just don’t agree with…
Blue Book = 5</p>

<p>hehe :)</p>

15

<p>Oh yeah, I was trying to say Grammatix, but I just said LazyStudentsWay (I believe they r kinda like interrelated)</p>

16

<p>hey guys. can one still buy grammatix from lazystudentsway? i was planning to buy it soon. Ive heard its really good for critical reading. Is this true? I usually get around 500s on practice tests. With alot of practice with grammatix and blue book is it possible to get 600 or maybe even beyond? Thanks</p>

17

<p>rocket review is good for math, grammatix is good for cr, and barrons/kaplan writing is good for writing</p>

18

<p>well, u can buy grammatix from acethesat.com. I’m sure however that lazystudentsway and grammatix have got a connection in btw them. anyway, don’t you all think that Grammatix is rather expensive? Is it really worth the cost?</p>
