As of right now, I am using the Princeton Review Cracking the ACT Book, and it has been very helpful. I also have the Princeton Review 1296 ACT Questions book, and I am doing very well on the practice exams they have in there. I’m scoring anywhere from about 29-33 in all subjects of the ACT, but I’m just wondering, is there an even better book out there with better, more accurate results/questions then the Princeton Review. I konw about the Real ACT book (or red book as sometimes called) and I am definitely planning on getting it and taking the exams in it as a final test to see how my results on the actual ACT will look. I’m just curious to konw if maybe Barron’s ACT book is better, or maybe even Kaplan’s ACT book? Please help me.

Thank you in advance.

As I’m preparing to move on to my sophomore year in high school, I am wondering if taking the SAT Subject Tests earliest as possible will look better than later test dates on a college application.

Instead of taking World History classes, I feel as if I want to commit my time into study and preparation for World History SAT Subject by using World History workbooks (such as Barron’s, Kaplan, etc)

To those who have taken the test: Was the test difficult? Did you take time preparing and studying? Do you recommend taking the World History class first and then the test later a better decision?

I am looking for a good and accurate prep book for the ACT other than the Peterson’s "Real ACT Prep Guide." Anyone have any suggestions? I was going to get barrons but the questions in barron are known for being insanely harder than the test actually is. I heard sparknotes also has a book?

Are the Princeton Review SAT practice test generally harder than the Sat and other prep books?
I took the Barron’s 2400 practice test and I got a score in the range of 1450-1520. I got a 1580 on the PSAT. I took the PR sat practice test and I got a 1210!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… I’m so annoyed. Now I really dont know where I stand in terms of SAT performance.

Can you cite a resonable source as well? By the why I’m 15 and entering my junior year. I just took a practice test from the barron’s 2400 Sat prep book and I got about a 1450. A 450 on critical reading, 600 on writing, and a 400 on math. Is the barrons sat book valid? Can I get some advice on improving my score? Please answer all of my questions. If cant asnwer all, then please answer my very first question.

I have the Kaplan Higher Score on the SAT/PSAT DVD, and it seems really helpful. But are they more helpful than Barron’s or Collegeboard? Also, are the tests easier or more difficult than the actual test?

are the practice tests in the Barron’s bio sat subject test review book harder than the actual test? what about sparknotes practice tests?
i took one on sparknotes, and i got a 730.
then i took one in the Barron’s book, and i got a 670. =[
i took both in the same week. why is there such a huge difference? which one is more like the actual test?
thanks for all the help. =]

Which practice SAT tests are the hardest? Barron’s, College Board, Princeton, Kaplan. etc. Which practice SAT tests are the closest stimulation?

I have found www.number2.com to be pretty useful but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other good sites to use.

Also, I was wondering: Can anyone tell me if the Barron’s SAT Prep book (not the 2400 Edition) sample tests are more difficult than the actual SAT test?
I couldn’t figure out how to reply to you guys so here it is:
I asked my parents if I could take a review course and they said I could do it, but they quickly changed their mind once I told them the price. I don’t quite have enough money to pay for it myself. I’v been reviewing from a Barron’s review book though,

Thanks for the info about Sparknotes, I didn’t even think to check there.

Right now, I’m thinking of getting "The Official SAT Study Guide", "Cracking the SAT, 2007 Edition", and "Barron’s SAT 2400: Aiming for the Perfect Score". Should I get those and what else do you recommend? Well, this is the first time I’m actually going to study, so I need to best books possible (your opinions of course).
Well since I haven’t really studied much, a book with a decent explanation of the questions mixed in with all other good features of a SAT book.
