Good test prep centers on official College Board material.  You can read this blog post for other signs of Good vs Bad test prep. 

It's also critical to understand the solutions to the questions you missed -- understand them so well, you can explain them to your teacher's teacher. The Blue Book (i.e. official College Board material), only contains the answers to the questions -- not the solutions.

The good news is that there are almost as many sources for Blue Book “solutions” as there are methods for test prep. Here are the ones I found most helpful:

1) College Board’s Book Owner’s Area!

2) Tutor Ted’s SAT Solutions Manual – Math solutions only, and easy to understand; became a trusted source.

3) The Ultimate SAT Supplement from Klass Tutoring -- Solutions for every problem in Blue Book (i.e., all three sections). Klass’s reading and writing solutions are better than the math.

4) Khan Academy – Video math solutions. Videos feature Sal Khan narrating SAT math solutions as he writes problem in steps on a digital blackboard. Can be frustrating to navigate, though the explanations are great and free.  www.khanacademy.org
