<p>Barron’s 2400 and Kaplan 2400 are the way to go. Those two books are extremely potent. </p>

<p>℞ : Barron’s 2400 and Kaplan 2400
Dosage: Twice a day
Side effects: Extreme frustration due to ludicrously hard questions. Likely score increases.</p>

<p>Thank youu, let me see if I have it in my sister’s old books. :p</p>

<p>EDIT:
Do you think I should use Barron’s when I am getting 1880’s? I mean I thought Barron’s always demotivated you when you were not ready for it?</p>

<p>HAHAHA! this made my day! XD</p>

<p>I’m gonna check this daily haha.</p>

<p>I’ve been using Barron’s 2400, so far I’ve glanced at CR + M, but i’m focusing on the writing questions for now. and dam are they wild.</p>

6

<p>:) </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How many did you miss on the writing quizzes? I missed 9 on the first one and 5 on the second one :(. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’ve completed barrons 2400, all the examples, practice tests and grand mixtures included. I think I may need to get kaplan 2400, cuz I don’t really feel any more different as in better. IceQube, how is kaplan 2400? I retook a kaplan course this summer and I’m almost done with all the homework they assigned from the online course as well. Will kaplan 2400 help me improve more? I also am doing the BB, got a 2150 on the first test.</p>

8

<p>I’ve only used the Writing and CR parts of Kaplan 2400 so far. </p>

<p>How is it? Well, it seems to be working! I touched 2400 on the last BB test I took (test #7, 2250-2400) ;). </p>

<p>Getting a 2400 doesn’t seem to be a Sisyphean task anymore!</p>

<p>@IceQube</p>

<p>What was your previous scores before Barron 2400 or Kaplan 2400?</p>

10

<p>I started my first summer of SAT prep with a 1800-2000. Just before I found Barron’s 2400 and Kaplan 2400, I had scored a 218 on a old PSAT.</p>

<h1>showoff :p.</h1>

11

<p>D:
D:
D:
OMG A 218?!?!?!
ANd when you started prepping you got a 1800-2000 RANGE?!?!?!
Wow. When I started, I get like 1400s. Now i’m getting 1800s-2000s XD</p>

12

<p>@IceQube can you brake down the format of the Kaplan 2400 book for me please? Like does it have lots of questions to practce from or just reviews of concepts and strategies?</p>

13

<p>Day 2.)
So far I am working on Rocket Review words 200-323. I am writing them down on flash cards and I will put the ones I know in one pile, the ones I don’t in another, then I will keep going through the ones I don’t know, then I’ll take a test.</p>

<p>Wish me luck ;).</p>

<p>The format of Kaplan 2400:</p>

<p>The Kaplan 2400 book goes through strategies and then example questions on which you can apply the strategies. </p>

<p>One of Kaplan’s strategies is to read the 1st third of a boring CR passage, then read the first sentence of each paragraph that’s left, and then proceed directly to the questions. After the strategy you are presented with a passage and a few questions. </p>

<p>I really like the writing section of the Kaplan 2400 book. I think it’s better than the Barron’s 2400 book. Here’s the format:</p>

<p>Example sentence
Why it’s hard: an explanation of what makes the sentence tricky - e.g. “atypical correction”
Key strategy: the corrected version
Explanation of correct answer</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>@IceCube I didnt really do the entire writing practice section, but i did about 15 questions from each and i only got about 7-8 of them correct. It tests a lot on diction (since i didnt know what nearly half those words meant, i got them wrong -_-).</p>

16

<p>^I noticed that too - the Barron’s 2400 book and the Kaplan 2400 book both ask A LOT of diction questions :(.</p>

17

<p>Day 3.) I memorized the rest of the rocket review words yesterday, now it is time for reading comprehension ;).</p>

18

<p>I think diction is the only thing i never get, so I definitely would spend time being able to catch diction errors.</p>

19

<p>What are diction questions? </p>

<p>And good luck Nynjal :D</p>
