Do the collegeboard one and princeton review first
If you still want to do more practise then barrons (its the hardest and the paper is usually not that difficult)

Ive got two ebooks

and make sure that there is NO difference in your name online and on your passport
No difference in date of birth

And make sure passport IS NOT EXPIRED


practise princeton review. Once you start to score near 780 in math then go for barrons.

Also buy the word smart by Princeton Review both Word smart 1 and word smart 2. Word smart is A MUST. Word smart 2 is your choice



barrons is usually unrealistic ally hard
princeton word smart is just about fine

Im quoting a senior about the advice he gave me about SAT essay (ive edited it a bit)
"""alright, first thing you need to think about is that in the SAT, people who fill in BOTH sides of the essay sheet fully, and I mean till the very last line, have a significantly higher chance of scoring a 9+ than those who don't. I doubt this particular essay is sufficiently long. lengthen it, I'm sure you have more argumentation/ examples to add. learn to fill in both sheets within the 20 odd minutes you get for the essay.

I like how you've given both sides of the story (agreeing and disagreeing with the topic) and then chosen to give your conclusion in the end. This pattern is critical; stick to it. It's always smart to give both sides of the story in the essay. But right now, your paragraphs are a blotch of arguments and essays arranged in an amorphous way. I'd like for you to state the argument, flesh it out with plenty of analysis and then explicitly quote examples. Also, the examples you quote are general. Although they will do fine, it'll help your cause even more to add some degree of specificity to them (a company that was involved in price fixing, maybe? Saying that companies fix prices without giving examples is a bit vague)
Also, if you've given one example from everyday happenings, it'd help to give one from literature, one from history, etc. (two literature examples or two history examples won't be as beneficial)"""

Personal examples are the least preferred. History and literature are the best. 4-5 paragraphs
1 intro
2 and possibly 3 agreeing with statement
3 and/or 4 disagreeing with statement
5 is conclusion. Conclusion can be like I agree to the topic to this extent but i dont agree with this

For example a conclusion can be ......"I agree with people enjoying personal freedoms BUT i disapprove that freedom should be given to such an extent that it interferes with other people's freedom..... "

Understood? I wont honestly recommend any books for essay. Practise 3-5 essays, show it to seniors. Focus on Maths and Reading and other things mainly
