How good is the "Craking the SAT with 5 tests, 15th edition" book ?

Test Preparation

I’ve recently bought this book from PR, and I wonder how the tests are compared to the real thing. Someone has any ideia ?

I found it useful, cause I didn’t know most of the tricks like plugging in…etc. If you feel you need some techniques or need to avoid traps on the SAT, great book. HOWEVER, take everything with a grain of salt as this is not the BB.
Just use whatever techniques work with you.

@Malcomx99 I also have the Blue Book, I intend to learn the “tricks” from he PR book and use the BB for practice test, but I was wondering how real is the PR tests compared to the real SAT, guess I’ll just leave them blank and go straight to the BB.

I used this book as my main source of prep. The tricks it taught me helped a lot. Before any prep, I got a 1600 on one of the tests in their book. A week before the SAT after I felt prepared, I got a 1760 on my last PR test. On the real SAT, I got a 1930. I think this book helps prepare you but the tests are definitely harder than the real thing.

@rhiannaps The PR tests are harder than the real thing ? that’s perfect! thank you.
