I have given some amazing book reviews below along with some links of those websites where you can get them. So read it through!
1- SAT Power Vocab, 2nd Edition by Princeton Review
First of all, lets improve your vocabulary. I personally think that cramming a lot of words is not the best way to improve your vocabulary, however, it's what most book authors and tutors recommend. But we are not going to do that. Princeton review's power vocab do not make you cram hundreds of words. Instead it teaches you how you can use the roots of words to guess the meaning of words in context.
It also includes a word list at the end of each chapter which includes the words that often appear on SAT.

2- 4th Edition, The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar
If you search the internet to find the best SAT prep book you will probably find the "The Official Study Guide by college". It is in fact the best book for SAT preparation but I don't think you should not start your preparation from this book. It includes 10 practice tests which are the only tests released by College Board. So you should not waste these tests. Instead prepare yourself and when you think you are ready then solve these tests under exam conditions. "The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar" is not a typical grammar book telling you where to put 'he' and where to put 'she', instead it has sample passages just like actual test along with questions to prepare you for the test. It is really a good book and one must read it all before putting his hands on official practice tests.
3- Oxford English Grammar Series
Oxford English Grammar Course Basic With Answers Michael Swan
This book is not for SAT as college board does not test you on basic grammar. But this book is really helpful for those candidates who are giving TOEFL or IELTS. These English proficiency exams require you to write short essays and rookie grammatical mistakes decrease your score. "Oxford English Grammar Course" has three books categorized as basic, intermediate and advanced. I advise you to start with intermediate as basic variant contains way too basic grammar. Then you should move on to Advanced variant and finally practice on "Oxford Practice Grammar Supplementary Exercises".
