really old SAT prep books?

Actually, after seeing some of the books myself, their differences are more subtle.

The Red Book, the predecessor to the Blue Book, did come out during that era and there are a number of differences between it and the Blue Book:
-Time limits for most sections were 5 minutes longer
-Analogies
-The test altogether, is around one hour shorter
Other than that, the critical reading and math are very much alike, if that’s what you’re looking for. I’d say that if you time yourself for the updated time and work with the Red Book, it’d be just as effective as any third-party PR type of book.
