Best book for high scorers: Barron's
Barron’s books have a lot of in depth material that can be very helpful for high scorers looking to fine tune their strategies and make sure they know every concept that might appear on the test.
On the other hand, the questions, especially the reading, tend to be much more difficult than the actual test, so it’s not a good choice for students who are easily frustrated.
Best book for low scorers: Kaplan's
Kaplan books are better for students who need a basic foundation on what to expect from the test and how to approach it. The questions skew easier, so it’s not a great preparation for the more challenging aspects of the test.
This book is a good place to start if you have a low baseline and want to go up a lot, since it will let you save official tests and more challenging practice for later in the process.
