Hi and welcome to my blog,

I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!



Is it a waste or does it really help?
Also, how accurate is the automated essay scorer? How many months prior to the SAT should I start studying and what is the best way to increase my score (in all areas as well as the essay)?

PostHeaderIcon What classic texts and/or authors are best to read for building a strong SAT/GRE vocabulary?

I am an SAT tutor, and I have been asked this question a number of times by my students. I have inevitably replied: Dickens, Hawthorne, (F. Scott) Fitzgerald, and (James Fenimore) Cooper, because these are the authors whose works have forced me to crinkle my dictionary’s spine. Does anyone agree/disagree, or know of any other authors that should be added to my list?

PostHeaderIcon Any movies that would be appropriate to show an SAT Prep Class?

PostHeaderIcon What is the best way to prepare for the SAT< ie which course, Kaplan, Princeton review?

I have looked up Kaplan, Princeton Review, and SylvanPrep, and have pretty much narrowed it down to pick between those three. OF those which one would you pick to prepare for the 0ct 14 2006 test, and why? Please be detailed, provide details from your own experience, and provide pros/cons. Also, what books would be ideal to supplement the course in my free month of August? I have heard a great deal about Princeton Review books and the College board guide, but are they actually helpful? Again, please provide details from personal experience and pros/cons and perhaps suggestions I may have not heard of yet. As always, I will handpick the winner of the 10 points on the factors of quality, length, and fulfillment of the entire question. Thank you in advance for your time and thought.

I am going to buy a laptop for graduate school. I will be carting it to school with me every day so would prefer something lighter if at all possible.

PostHeaderIcon Best PSAT and SAT test prep?

My high school invited me and about 20 other students to retake the PSAT as a junior in hopes of qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship. The school offered counseling and encouragement, but no help with test review.

Which prep course is preferred? Princeton Review or Kaplan or other? Would I benefit from a class review (about 0) or online review or would a good PSAT review book be sufficient? Also, I’ll have the most time to prep during the summer versus early next fall due to heavy AP course load next year, but I wonder if I’ll score higher if I study closer to the time of the exam. Are the classes worth 0?

I’ll also be taking the SAT the same year. Any hints about how best to prepare for both? Thanks.

Sophomore PSAT score 187; class rank top 7% soph year (with AP courses).
