Hey guys,
I’ve recently started preparing for the SAT(sophomore) and I bought the official SAT study guide. However, it doesn’t help in actually preparing me for the SAT and seemed useless, except for the practice tests. I took my first practice test ever and got a 1920: 800 math, 540 critical reading and 580 writing. I don’t know where to begin studying for critical reading and writing. So far, I have these 5 books in my wish list: Direct Hits Core Vocabulary of the SAT 5th Edition (2013) (Volume 1), Direct Hits Toughest Vocabulary of the SAT 5th Edition (Volume 2) , The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar, How to Write a Killer SAT Essay: An Award-Winning Author’s Practical Writing Tips on SAT Essay Prep and Barron’s SAT Writing Workbook, 3rd Edition (Barron’s Writing Workbook for the New Sat). Are these books useful in preparing for the SAT and where should I begin studying? Any helpful tips for the SAT in general would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
