GREAT QUESTION. I WOULD ADVISE ANY STUDENT WHO CANNOT AFFORD TUTORING TO DO THE FOLLOWING (THE BOOKS I RECOMMEND BELOW CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THIS BLOG):
IF YOUR TAKING SAT I: GO AND BUY THE COLLEGE BOARD'S BOOK CALLED "THE OFFICIAL SAT STUDY GUIDE"ISBN 0-87447-718-2 AND WORK AS MANY TESTS AS YOU CAN FROM THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK HAS ANSWERS TO EACH QUESTION, BUT THEY ARE NOT EXPLAINED. BUT THIS BOOK IS THE ONLY BOOK ON THE MARKET THAT HAS ACTUAL PAST TEST MATERIAL FROM REAL SAT I TESTS. THE SECOND BEST BOOK TO THIS BOOK WOULD BE ANY BOOK FROM THE PRINCETON REVIEW, ESPECIALLY "CRACKING THE SAT I 2007" BY THE PRINCETON REVIEW (ISBN 978-0375765452). IN MY OPINION THE PRINCETON REVIEW VERY ACCURATELY MODELS WHAT APPEARS ON THE REAL SAT I. KAPLAN MATERIALS ARE ALSO GOOD. WARNING: THERE ARE SOME TERRIBLE BOOKS OUT THERE ON THE MARKET THAT DO NOT AT ALL MODEL WELL WHAT APPEARS ON THE REAL TESTS. YOU WILL BE VERY SORRY IF YOU DEVIATE FROM THE BOOKS LISTED HERE. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEND HOURS STUDYING MATERIAL THAT IS NOT EVEN ON THE SAT I?
FOR THE ACT GET THE BOOK CALLED "The Real ACT Prep Guide" (ISBN 978-0768919752). IT IS PUBLISHED BY PETERSON'S BUT IT IS THE ONLY BOOK ON THE MARKET THAT HAS ACTUAL REAL ACT MATERIAL IN IT. THIS BOOK HAS BOTH ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AND IN DETAIL EXPLANATIONS OF THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. EXCELLENT TOP NOTCH BOOK. SECOND TO THIS, I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYTHING BY THE PRINCETON REVIEW SUCH AS "CRACKING THE ACT" ETC. KAPLAN AGAIN IS ALSO GOOD.
YOU SHOULD WORK THE TESTS IN THESE BOOKS IN A QUIET, TIMED ENVIRONMENT USING THE ACTUAL ANSWER SHEETS PROVIDED. DO NOT LOOK AT THE ANSWERS UNTIL THE END OF THE TEST. GO OVER EACH ONE YOU MISSED. TAKE NOTES AND WRITE DOWN ANY VOCABULARY WORDS THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW, MATH FORMULAS, ETC. THIS WILL HELP YOU A GREAT DEAL.
