| kaplan, princeton review books are really good, barrons is good, but it can be really comprehensive and barrons is harder than the real test. Buy the official sat study guide (blue book) and also buy the real act prep guide (it's red) read them and do the excercises and practice tests. |

Yes - the blue official SAT book is the best one to use for preparing for the SAT. Princeton Review and Kaplan have pretty manageable vocab. lists which you should memorize (combined they have <1000 words I think). Barron's is a little bit too in-depth for vocab. (5000 words) and I didn't memorize from that list.
As for what you should do, make sure to first read http://scholarholler.com/testPrep/! |
