I sure have no idea, but I think you can check it out at the Reference Desk at a local library.  If not, you can find one at your local Barnes & Nobles.  Good luck on your test!!  :)

Hi, I've used The official SAT study guide by College Board and found it very use full for the SAT reasoning test. It gives you reviews and practice SAT's in the back.

Any book from Prentice Hall should be good.\n\nhttp://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/discipline/0,1142,368,00.html\nhttp://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/discipline/0,1142,6,00.html

I really recommend the official SAT book released by collegeboard. I think there are 8 tests there and they're all very similar to the actual test. \n\nIf critical reading is what you're not great at, try and pinpoint exactly where it is that you keep losing marks. Is it the passage? The vocabulary section? Then read the official SAT book. In the meantime build up your vocabulary by browsing sites that have prepared SAT vocabulary words that are most likely to come out. \n\nIt is VERY possible to raise your scores, if you really take the time to do so.

Go through the notes. The book. And the best spot for an AP study guide is through collegeboard.com at the AP test component. You could actually test yourself with past questions.

STUDY!\n\nNo, seriously I used the Kaplan book, I think I used the previous year's book, and I boosted my score significantly. Focus on teh section you're having the toughest time with.

Go to either a library or a bookstore. There's a ton of them out there! There's several on "the new SAT", updated so that would be better to study.

1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

I'm in the same situation as you. I want to take my GRE in August, so I am going to start studying now. I bought Kaplan's prep book and it is starting to freak me out. I've always done really well in my classes, but I couldn't even answer half of the verbal test questions. I talked with some of my friends who took the test last year and they suggest making vocabulary flashcards or looking at different websites for help with the vocab. They said give yourself at least a month or two to help practice.

i'm sure there are places that offer a cram course on passing it.  maybe get a book like this one...   \n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0793145139/103-3607389-3322250?v=glance&n=283155\n\np.s. i didn't need a study guide, so i honestly don't know if it's any good or not, but it looks like it got some good reviews...

Try to visualize the different events/people that occurred/encountered throughout the book, make sense of what you read + understand the analysis made by the study guide/notes (sometimes putting it into your own words helps...) \n\nI'm sure that with repetition + understanding it, you'll do a great job- good luck on ur TEST!

Review the pretest study books.  There are several brands.  Definitely, make sure you rest the night before.  Also, bring an energy bar or other healthy snack to munch on during your break.  It is really easy to get tired during those long tests.  Good luck.

I bought an SAT book thing by Collegeboard from Barnes and Noble. Collegeboard makes the test so I'd think that they're reliable.\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780874477184&itm=1

Too broad, what specifically do you need? If you want some study guides, check out pinkmonkey.com, cliffnotes.com, or my favorite is sparknotes.com

I not sure what is the best, as it depends a lot if your simply need a review of the topics or need some in-depth tutorial for a particular section. \n\nI would suggest using the books/kits recommended by MS. You might consider getting additional material if you find a particular section differcult to understand.\n\nAlso make sure any material is current.

I'll admit  up front: I'm biased. I strongly believe that Kaplan materials are best, since we put more into researching and writing test-like material than most of our competitors make in a year. Get a book and commit yourself to 30 minutes of studies every day, as well as a practice test every weekend. Consider a small private tutoring package if you/your parents can handle the financial commitment. Bottom line: make sure you take at least 2 full-length practice tests and that you carefully review answers&explanations to diagnose (and improve on) your weaknesses.\nLighty\nMaster teacher, San Jose Kaplan center

What helped me a lot was Kaplan's GRE Exam book. It prepared me for the whole exam. In the back it has word lists, prefix/suffix lists, top GRE word lists, synonym lists, etc. Studying these lists and doing the practice exams in the book and on the CD helped me the most. Make flash cards using the lists and study hard!\n\nI studied the book for about 3 months prior to the exam and passed with a 570 verbal and 660 quantitative, 5.0 on the essay part. I highly recommend the book and it's not too expensive. Around $20 or $25 if i remember correctly.
