How much did you improve by using the BB on the actual SAT?

<p>Was just curiouse to find out how people did on their sat after using the BB, and what was their original score before geting seriouse with the BB.</p>

2

<p>Well… the BB is probably the best way to study…</p>

3

<p>The BB isn’t a study guide. It is a practice book. Despite its cover saying “study guide”.</p>

<p>The only way BB is effective is if you UNDERSTAND why you got one question wrong and then master how to do it. </p>

<p>The explanations aren’t on the book, so you have to go to their website for it, and they give explanations.</p>

<p>Hossain, </p>

<p>From my first SAT I officially took, I improved 280 points. Overall, from the first time I took a SAT (non-official, PR exam) I’ve gone up 600 points =).</p>

5

<p>I improved 350 points from my PSAT.</p>

6

<p>I agree with others above. The BB is not a good method of studying for the SAT. I have improved about 950 points through an amalgamation of SAT prep books and a year of practice.</p>

7

<p>woah thats a first…^ everyone here usually says BB is the only way to go sometimes</p>

8

<p>^Lol I was thinking the same thing. Anyway I just use level of difficulty. First PR then some BB then Barrons then back to BB.</p>

9

<p>What difficulty level is PR? And what PR book are you using to study? Is it effective?</p>

</p>

<p>yeah but joe bloggs isnt the smartest test taker as we know ;)</p>

<p>I think he just means the strategies and practice in the BB are pretty basic so its really only good for practice tests.</p>

<p>I think the blue book helps SO much! but you have to actually go back and review the questions. SAT questions are actually quite repetitive, at least the type of them. </p>

<p>the very first full STA I took I got a 1750, and I got a 2230 on the June SAT :slight_smile: so the blue book does help, you just need to use it right.</p>
