SAT Test Books
We strongly advise all prospective college applicants to purchase, at
a minimum, 10 Real SATs from the College Board. (It is the first
book listed below.) We know from our own experiences that there is a difference between the official questions
you will be asked on the exam and the practice questions contained in all other
books.
If you feel particularly weak in a particular area of the
SAT, then we strongly encourage you to consider one of the following books from
a test prep company for additional help as well as practice questions and
answers.
