Hi there! It's a good idea to evaluate different SAT prep books to find the ones that work best for you. Here are a few highly-recommended SAT books that many students have found helpful:

1. The Official SAT Study Guide: This is published by the College Board, the organization that creates the SAT, and contains practice tests and explanations covering all sections of the test. It's a great resource for authentic SAT questions.

2. Erica Meltzer's The Critical Reader: This book focuses specifically on the Reading section of the SAT, providing comprehensive content coverage and strategies for improving your score.

3. College Panda's SAT Math: Advanced Guide and Workbook: This book is known for its in-depth approach to SAT math topics, which helps students who are looking to improve their math skills or aiming for a perfect math score.
