what's the best prep book for SAT subject tests? & critical reading?
Asked by Ganbatterui'm gonna take math 2 and physics, but my biggest problem seems to be the timing, i could only finish half of the math test the first time i took it. which prep book will be the best for me to practice for subject tests?. also, i did really bad in the critical reading section (410), compared to the other sections. i already have kaplan SAT reasoning prep book but i think i need another book that focuses on the critical reading section. is the official SAT guide better or should i buy kaplan's? or others? oh, and should i but the study guide that has all the subjects in it? or is it better if i buy the study guide that has only physics, and math? thank you!!

Buy the Official Study Guide for the critical reading section. I also abhor the critical reading section because I tend not to do well on it, but the more practice I did, the easier it got. Just trust me on this one--practice. I don't care what the test prep books say about the critical reading section because none of them helped me. The only thing that greatly increased by score for the critical reading section were practice tests. I just constantly did practice tests over and over for the critical reading and it just got easier. For the SAT subject test, buy the book that only focuses on one subject. I prefer either princeton review or barron's, both are good. I suggest you to practice for this one too. The more practic, the faster you get. Practice makes perfect; just remember that. Good luck to you.
