I’m going to be retaking the SATI in June after my abysmal 1840 in March. I don’t mean to sound arrogant or anything, but I really don’t feel I deserved this score. I feel the main reason I scored so low was because of ill preparation. Even though I spent well over three months studying, I used the Princeton Review book, which gave me unrealistic results. In the sample tests, I scored around 2000 each time, but scored significantly lower on the real thing.

With multiple APs (one more to go!) and SATIIs (two more to go…), I haven’t been able to study a great deal for my retake. I bought the Barron’s book a while back but I fear that I won’t have enough time to study using it, since it seems to focus on longterm planning vs. short-term cramming. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me the Rocket Review SAT book. I’ve heard some success stories from people who used it. While I be able to sufficiently study using it with less than a month before the test?
