John asked:
What’s the difference between The Princeton Review Cracking The SAT 2007 and The Princeton Review Cracking The SAT 2009. Even the covers are the same. Is there any significant or small difference?

From what I’ve seen, different editions of the same test-prep book really do not have much of a difference. What you might find different on a 2009 book versus a 2007 one are:
- different general information found in the first chapter (exam fees and other information may change from year to year)
- different wordings (editors like to rephrase the context so that you seem to be getting something new)
- sometimes they edit the questions to remove typographical errors, etc.
- they may occasionally introduce new questions.
So, if you already have a 2007 book, you shouldn’t need to buy a 2009 Princeton book. Instead, use the money for a Barron’s, Kaplan’s, or some other test prep book. If you don’t have a 2007 book, I would buy a used copy of the 2007 and another used test-prep book.
