<p>I recommend that you read some of the stickied posts on this thread. Xiggi’s and silverturtle’s guide is a great start for SAT preparation. I’m in the same situation as you. I’m looking for the best and most efficient test review books but from what I’ve learned so far, doing practice tests is the best way to prepare. Buy the Collegeboard SAT book since it has 10 SAT practice exams. Try to stay clear from Kaplan because it’s… it just sucks. Barron’s is okay but also try to avoid it if you can. Barron is a lot more difficult than the real SAT so really you’re preparing for something that’s not going to be on the exam. I’m not sure about Princeton but from my own experience, it’s okay. There’s an overall conclusion on this forum that Gruber’s SAT math workbook is the best. You can find tips on how to write a 12 essay or on the CR section on this forum. Remember to always examine every question from your practice SAT exam!</p>
