<p>Lol. It’s ok, spelling is only one (small) portion of the SAT :wink: Seems like you’re on track. Are you doing it in that order? Then it seems ok…Collegeboard is the easiest of the lot. And Grubers to me was tough. But some people say Barrons is harder. You can also try the Princeton Review book for practice. As long as you get loads of practice, you can do it! All the best :D</p>

<p>dude grubers was INCREDIBLY HARD i didn’t even use it because it was so hard…i just used it for vocab</p>

<p>Getting a 2300 is mostly dependent upon ability, too…</p>

<p>nothing is dependent on ability…</p>

<p>I would add to your list of outside things that you think can help you. Read a lot of books, do well in your classes, and ask questions when you don’t understand something, and make the most of the teachers and the work that you currently have. There is really nothing that can prepare you for the tests as well, from the outside, as you can prepare yourself from the inside. All of these study guides are icing on the cake that you just have to be yourself. And, whatever your score turns out to be, remember that it is only one component of your whole being. Students have been accepted at great schools with scores lower than 2300, and they have been turned down at great schools with scores higher than 2300. PolarNs hint #7, above, seems to be true to me!</p>

<p>“nothing is dependent on ability…” </p>

<p>Uh, that’s patently false. Saying nothing is dependent on ability means that we’re all essentially the same people with no distinctiveness, that we’re merely a homogeneous collection of drones. You can’t train an artistically-challenged math geek to paint as did Picasso, nor can you train a mathematically challenged rock-star to produce proofs that rival those of Grisha Perelman. </p>

<p>Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and each person has them in different magnitudes. Everything is dependent on ability in one form or another. SAT prep merely brings out the best in a given individual.</p>

<p>lol.
shoud i clarify: nothing is dependent on ability, but nothing is independent of ability either</p>

<p>I agree with narcissa, ability is based on work… some may be geniuses, but they usually have to actully work for it</p>

<p>“nothing is dependent on ability, but nothing is independent of ability either” hahahahahaha. This poster is obviously putting in the time and effort to get a 2300, whether he will get the 2300 is wholly dependent on his innate ability (and yes, you are right, a combination of the two is usually necessary).</p>

<p>The Official Study Guide should come last. The rest of the books you mentioned have strategies, and you want to make sure that the practice tests come last so you can apply those stratgies when you’re done with them.</p>

<p>Also, I would recommend Barron’s SAT 2400.</p>

<p>Feed, You are a true moron.</p>

<p>On the contrary, I revealed my intelligence by highlighting the OP’s mistake and advising him/her to correct it as soon as possible.</p>

<p>A moron? No.
A blatant? Sure.</p>

<p>Also, do not message me saying the same thing you said at the forums.
Or… if you do… at least vary your sentence structure, geez! You could have looked up a synonym for ‘moron’!</p>

<p>Kaplan’s SAT writing workbook is really effective. I actually enjoy reading it … and I’m not that nerdy.</p>

<p>Don’t ever insult Feed.</p>

<p>Hahaha, I just noticed this person is the OP.
Epic.</p>
