i third this.. though there is one thing no one should have any illusion about. The SAT doesnt test how smart you are, it just tests how well you can do the SAT. when you study for it, study for it with this mindset. THAT can make a difference. If your test prep book says follow something, follow it religiously, and you will see results

from personal experience, i raised my score from a 1960 to a 2150, while that isnt a great score, out of 1600 ( i never studied writing, cos i know it didnt help, i went from 1360 - 720 math 640 CR, to 1510, 760 math 750 CR).. so trust me, if you didnt do too great on the sat, doesnt matter for sh*t, it can be cracked. also, percentiles matter, not just the score.

SAT 2 is of course significantly easier, for example, it shouldnt be too tough at all getting a 750+ on math IIC
