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)

I know SAT official guide is important but i have read somewhere that it doesn't give good explanations so i might need another book
some help?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have heard that Barron's is better in English ... And how about Gruber's SAT?

please more people reply
