AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding effective SAT preparation resources, particularly for critical reading and writing, as the user is a non-native English speaker. They seek a book that covers the basics, including vocabulary and grammar, and express confidence in their math skills, indicating that they do not require math-focused materials. The SAT Official Guide is acknowledged but criticized for its lack of detailed explanations. Recommendations include "Princeton Review Cracking the SAT," which is noted for its effectiveness in a school prep class, and inquiries about the quality of Barron's and Gruber's SAT prep materials for English. The user encourages further responses for additional suggestions.

Hi
I am going to prepare for SAT and i have like 3.5 months
I need a book that can teach me English (critical reading and writing) from basics because it s not my native language ... (basics like making a good vocab and improving grammar and stuff)

I don't need a book good in maths because SAT math is a piece of cake for me ... (not bragging but here math level is pretty higher than SAT I Math)

some help?
