I’m international too English isn’t my first language. I can confirm that for international students, fluency in English, including grammar, verb, etc., is essential in improving SAT score, especially in Writing and Verbal sections. Your essay does count significantly. Say, if your essay score goes from 7 to 12, your Writing score will improve by 100.
Prep books don’t help much if your English is bad. Better start with improving your English overall through reading novels, magazines, textbooks and stuff. That’s my piece of advice.
(I took SAT and got around 2300, only ~100 lower than SSAT so I guess the rule above didn’t really apply with me. But I heard a lot of people got 200-300 points lower in SAT than SSAT)
