Ok guys, I've done the Barrons, The Princeton Reviews, The Kaplans and the 10 Real SATs; are there any other, major, good prep. books in the market?

1 more corollary question, are all the 10 SAT's different in different editions of The Real SATs? And do Barron's update their Word List?

Thanks.

1. Grubers, but I don't think you need any more prep after those 4.

2. No, they are not all different. Each edition has 8 of the same ones that were before it and 2 new ones. So if you have the second edition, the third edition will only give you 2 new more. Not 10.

Don't get anymore prep books; review the ones you have already.

SAT 1600 for the hard problems.

lol what's ur range right now.. and what are u striving for.. those 4 should be enough... along with the sat 1600(kaplan)..

10RS is enough by itself...if you have done barrons, pR, and kaplan, you should be in good shape. the question is, what is your approx score right now on REAL sats, not on the barrons ones?

My approx score, on RS, is 1520, my actual SAT score is 1480, so I plan to sit for it again.

How many Practise Tests does SAT 1600 have ?

none

SAT 1600 has no practice tests, but it does have a 25 Mult choice section on math, with "hard" problems they say. Your RS score is already pretty nice - i would suggest studying the verbal questions more, trying to determine the most frequent analogy bridges and vocab words...for CR try to read the sentence in context for vocb questions, and the sentence before to get the mood of the word - this should narrow down your vocb in context choices.
