Which books do Chinese students generally use for the SAT? Ask for recommendations

Generally, you will buy the OG i.e. SAT Official Guide, which has math, reading, grammar in chunks, and 10 sets of questions.

There are also a lot of textbooks, such as Barang, Princeton, Kaplan, and I personally only have the reading section of Barang and Princeton, and I think there is a difference between the questions of these two books and the questions of ETS, and you can read them online **pdf before deciding whether to buy them.

I think the most important thing is the past papers, there are a lot of past papers on the ** you can buy and do.

Personally, I think that past papers og oc are very important for the three kinds of books, and you can do these first, and then you are thinking about the others.

However, you should leave some past papers in recent years, and don't do them until the timed mock test before the exam.

Good luck with your exams and finish these estimated 2300 properly.

Hello classmates. The SAT is an admission test for undergraduate applications in the United States, and it is an important reference for high school students from all over the world to apply for studies and scholarships in prestigious universities in the United States.

The total score is 2400 points, and the main tests are: reading, writing and mathematics. Each section is 800 points. It is more difficult than TOEFL and difficult to write.

There are no test centers in the mainland, only Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea and other places have test centers.

Why is SAT writing hard? It is because the SAT test is completely the North American test system, and if you don't have an in-depth understanding of North American culture, you don't usually accumulate much, and you often don't have ideas for writing, and your score will not go up.

How to prepare for the SAT [is a comprehensive explanation, the math part is quite comprehensive, if you don't buy og, princetion must buy this book].

This is the most classic preparation material, which requires every candidate to study carefully and find the rules of the questions and the methods of solving them.

I wish you all the best in your exams and hope it will be helpful to you.

SAT books are basically test questions, bookstores have Chinese annotations, the kind is similar, it is best to buy the original Princeton or Barang.

1) Barron's How to Prepare for the SAT (This is a comprehensive explanation, the math part is quite comprehensive, you must buy this book if you don't buy OG and Princetion).

3) Princetion (the lecture is general, the questions are very simple, mainly used to look at the classification and do the exercises to boost confidence before the exam).

4) Barron's math fascicle (especially detailed, medium difficulty, suitable for math students who always can't get a high score, can't find the answer routine, and uses it for students who don't have brain cells in math).

5) kaplan (there is a special math fascicle, which is better than that of princetion, and it is also good to buy and do it if you really don't feel about math answers, note: some of the answers themselves are wrong).

6) SAT past exam questions, this is the most classic preparation materials, which requires every candidate to carefully study and find the rules of the questions and the methods to solve the questions.

First of all, past papers are always the best resource for exam preparation, and the past three years are more valuable for reference, you can do mock test practice 1 month before the test. There is also the OG, which is the official guide and the most important textbook in the whole process of preparing for the exam. The OG not only has an official detailed description of the purpose and content of the exam, but also 3 sets of real questions and 7 sets of standard test papers.

There are also OC is also the official questions of CollegeBoard, a total of six sets, slightly more difficult than the real questions, with analysis (i.e. A&E of OC), you can use it in the middle and late stages when you need to sprint for a high score. There is also a Kaplan set of 12 practice problems that are modeled after OG and are accompanied by analysis. However, the questions are relatively simple, and the test points of each set of questions are concentrated, which is not suitable for mock exams, and you can use it as a basic textbook in the early stage of preparation.

The advantage of SAT Comprehensive Guidance and Mock Test Questions is that it includes "Barang Basic Vocabulary 3500", which covers high-frequency vocabulary and hot vocabulary of the SAT test, which can greatly reduce the burden of memorizing words. However, some of the questions in the book are much more difficult than the real questions, and they lose the value of the mock test, so you need to choose carefully. The SAT 11 Suite of Questions is almost as difficult as the real questions, the questions are rigorous, and there is a detailed explanation of the analysis and scoring methodology.

You can use this book for consolidation exercises after studying the OG. There is also reading books when preparing for the exam, good methods and skills are more important, you can go to New Oriental to take an intensive class, the teacher's guidance can make us review to achieve twice the result with half the effort. And there is no doubt that Beijing has the best teachers.

1 og

Many sets of OG questions will be repeated in the real questions, and it can be said that I have received the most praise in the reviews of most overseas candidates. Basically you can live without Princeton, you can do without Capplan, you can do without Barang, you can't live without OG.

2 princeton

Many people say that Princeton is difficult, but these questions are just acceptable and can make you feel at ease, and you will not be afraid when you really encounter tricky topics.

3 Past Papers

There are about 40 sets of past questions now, so please be sure to dig deep to find out! From 2002 to 2012, at least 3 sets per year. As for whether the revised questions from 2000 and before are useful (no grammar part, no math problems, only reading the same, no word fill-in-the-blank questions), the answer is yes.

I found exactly the same title as OG in the title of the year, so I don't need to say how important the title was before the revision, right?

4 oc

At present, 6-7 sets of OC real questions are the weird questions in the evaluation, although they are the questions out of CB, but because the questions and the real questions are indeed different, especially the grammar questions, the students who usually only get 2-3 questions wrong, do the OC, all die tragically. But in view of the fact that it is a question from CB, and the real question is almost done, please feel at ease, you can still do the OC questions

GRE Vocabulary Selection has the most complete vocabulary, and most people recommend it, but there are many more useless words. Well, if you have enough time and want to get a high score at once, such as CR700+, it's best to use it.

There is also a book of "SAT Vocabulary Root + Associative Memory", written by Yu Minhong. I looked at it, and it was still good. If you can memorize it, I believe you will have no problem with the SAT test.

There is also a Barron3500 vocabulary list, which is very accurate, 98% of the vocabulary appears more than 2 times in the SAT test; But not particularly all-encompassing. Included in the SAT Comprehensive Guidance and Mock Tests. Ideal for use just before the exam.

This one is a must-have.

If time is not sufficient, the Barron 3500 will suffice. But if there are more than 3 months, memorize the GRE, and turn to 3500 in the next two months.

Langge's SAT textbook is still very authoritative, you can take a look
