SAT Questions

Or could I use an alternative method and get the same results?

I’m going into my Jr. year of HS September 4 and I haven’t taken the PSAT or SAT, nor have I had any preparation for it. My mom talked to Sylvan Learning Center today about a class they have for SAT prep, but it’s 00 for one month of training? Hmmmmm… I’m PRETTY SURE I won’t have time to go everyday, nor would I want to, so I don’t see how 00 is a reasonable cost being as that I KNOW there are other programs and methods that are cheaper. We have the money, it’s just that, me personally, I would think it’s a waste of my parents money… especially since I already want/need a lot of things to be bought for me this month (my birthdays this month, school starts in September, etc.)

What are some different methods of preparing for it or how did you prepare for it? Books? Classes? What?

And if you did take it, what was your score?

I know the math section is out of 800 but my tutor told me to omit the last 2 questions of each math section. So I was wondering, what is the highest grade I can get on the math section if I use this strategy?

I’m in high school, so I obviously can’t afford much. I’ll have to save up Christmas money. We only have one computer in the house, so I would love to have a computer of my own. I have two brothers and it is very difficult to get to the computer when I need to do work for school. I would strictly be using this laptop to do homework,surfing the web, emailing, im’ing, etc.

I have heard about Kaplan and Sylvan prep courses, but are there any other really good ones?

I took PSAT my Sophomore year and got a 141 (1410 respectively). My Junior PSAT score was 162 (1620 respectively) while my 1st SAT test was a 1630.
***I did not study for any of them***

I want to apply at Georgetown however I know my SAT scores aren’t good enough.

Question: Is a SAT prep class worth the 0? Or should I just buy test prep books? My school does not offer an SAT class.
