Do I really need to buy the Official SAT Guide if the papers are free online?

Hey folks,
Just wondering—is it actually necessary to buy the Official SAT Study Guide by College Board? I noticed that the sat exams official website already has all the practice tests. Wouldn’t that be enough? Also, which book would you recommend for SAT 2025 prep?

Honestly, I felt the same way. I downloaded all the free practice tests from the SAT site and used Khan Academy for prep. Saved the money and still scored decent. The guide is helpful but not must-have imo.

Yeah same here :raising_hands: The official website + Khan Academy combo is solid. But the book does have some detailed explanations that help if you’re stuck on certain types of questions. So depends on your study style tbh.
