Top 4 SAT Prep Books

1. The Princeton Review Cracking the SAT

The Princeton Review is known for great test prep books and their SAT guide is no exception. Cracking the SAT offers comprehensive information on each section of the SAT and also includes three full-length practice tests. Though the book leans more towards strategy than actual practice, you can still find many valuable tips that will help you ace the SAT.

2. Kaplan SAT Premier Program

Kaplan prep books have always been popular, and for good reason. Kaplan is always up-to-date and they run the gamut, offering everything from basic study tips to comprehensive test analysis. The 2006 edition of Kaplan SAT contains hundreds of practice questions with detailed answer explanations, lesson summaries, diagnostic tests, and four full-length practice tests.

3. Arco Master the SAT

Published by Peterson's Guides, Master the SAT is a comprehensive guide and a great prep book. Offering writing strategies, skill builders, basic SAT info, tons of practice questions, and five full-length practice tests, Master the SAT isn't the best book on the market, but it's still a good choice.

4. The Official SAT Study Guide

Authored by the College Board, the Official SAT Guide is nearly 900 pages of pure SAT prep. It includes drills, strategies, test-taking advice, an expanded math section, a critical reading section, an essay section, and eight full-length practice tests.
