Reddit mentions of Barron's NEW SAT, 28th Edition (Barron's Sat)

Alright, since you're not going for any electronic resources, I'll list a couple of books. Your main problem seems to be English in general. While the books might help you, I recommend reading a lot. Try historical and scientific articles online or even in a book. Read a couple of classics by Charles Dickens or Victor Hugo.


1- Kaplan https://www.amazon.com/SAT-Prep-Plus-2018-Strategies/dp/1506221300
This book has exceptional EBRW practice and thorough explanation with multiple methods of approaches. The math section is alright, but I feel that it is a little easier than the actual test.


2- Dr. John Chung's SAT math book. https://www.amazon.com/Dr-John-Chungs-SAT-Math/dp/1481959794
A phenomenal book. It has challenging question in the math section that will over prepare you. If you can get a 700 on his tests, you're set up on getting an 800 for the math section.


3- Barron's New SAT 28th edition https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-NEW-SAT-28th-Sat/dp/1438006497
Great book for learning the entirety of standard English convention and reading strategies. The EBRW questions might be a little easier than the actual thing, but the information it provides is meritorious. The math section also has some challenging problems that will over prepare you.

The official SAT study guide (alias blue book.) https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2018/dp/1457309289
This is the best book to test all you've practiced for. After you complete all other books, take all 8 practice tests. This will prepare you well.


Now for some tips:
1- Focus on your writing section more at the begining. Getting 44/44 in this section while missing 10 on the reading puts your score at 740-760. It weighs more.

2-Write some essays and have someone check them. It'll help you spot mistakes easier.

3-Calm down, you can always take it again.


Good luck!

first i used khan academy (got 8 tests from there)

next, i used two different barron's books (https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-NEW-SAT-28th-Sat/dp/1438006497 and https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-SAT-Practice-Tests-3rd/dp/1438009968/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VM8TX5EF1ECWW29M9PTA i think) for 11 tests across both books

and finally, my school's guidance dept has an SAT practice test thing (kind of like the one we all got for the PSAT when we registered)

Not the SAT 1600. I mean the "New SAT" book by Barron's. Looks like this : https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-NEW-28th-Book-Only/dp/1438006497. I'd suggest just going to a bookstore and just taking pictures of the charts for the essay section. Those charts are really all you need. I've never used IvyGlobal or Kallils, so IDK how those are. Sorry. For me, Khan Academy was my only source from which I studied, and I studied a bit from Barron's new SAT (link above). Good luck on your tests!!!
