I would like to take SAT prep classes in the summer (I’m currently a sophomore). Which program has the best results? For example: Princeton Review, Kaplan, Sylvan, a private tutoring place, etc?

I just hate it so much. My tutor isn’t helping me the littlest bit, we have TONS of homework from it and do next to nothing in our sessions. I dread them every week and they make me want to cry all weekend knowing that i have them on sunday nights. My tutor can’t physically laugh either, which is the creepiest thing ever. Its not that he’s just very focused on work its that he cannot laugh. He’s like some kind of SAT robot. Anyway, I just want to quit and i just feel like it could NEVER be worth the pain to get great scores. I’m going to music schools which only ask for the SAT scores if you want scholarships. They dont even matter.

I got a 1590 on the practice SAT I took at my tutoring place.
Critical Reading: 480
Math: 520
Writing: 590
I was really disappointed at my score because I was hoping for at least a 1700. How can I raise my score to be in the 1700’s-1800? Especially, in the critical reading and math sections.

What’s the best and most effective way to prepare for the SAT’s? I am planning on taking it three times to get really good scores, and I need a lot of help on the math section especially. If I decide to get a SAT tutor/program, who should I go to for that? What is the best SAT prep place? I live in Lawrenceville, Georgia, so anyone knw the best SAT prep places near there also?

thank you!
10 POINTS TO BEST/MOST HELPFUL ANSWER! :}
Also, is the Kaplan program for prep thing worth taking and are they very effective? What about Sylvan?

I took my SAT’s for the first time as a sophomore this december. My results were as follows; 570-Reading, 590-Math, 510-Writing 8-essay. My goal score is a 2100 for my last time. For this test I didn’t prepare at all so that I would have a baseline. Will a private tutor help me to rise my score? When should I get it in the middle of my junior year or this year? Are the tutors as helpful as everyone says as well?

Hi. I am a Sophmore high school student. I took psat and got 35%, 125.
In other words, I failed the test.

I prepared my test my memorizing some SAT words, and by tutoring with a person online. I tutored with a proffessional person, who chrages 40 dollars, but Im not improving. I learned a lot, but Im not improving.

Can you guys recommend me a new SAT online tutor, a site that you guys think can improve me??

My Weakness:
-Vocabs, dont know a single.
-Math, I failed, Im good at school math, but not SAT
-Writing is still terrible, But i know the rules/strategies for writing

Thanks!

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?

Is there any place where i can go and get tutoring…or can i buy anything that will help. How well can someone actually prepare for it.

I’m going to college soon and I need to find ways to get some cash.
I’m a senior in high school. I took the SAT and got a good score (2210).

It’s some informal tutoring. It’s not through an agency, and I’m only hanging up flyers around my neighborhood. I’ll probably end up working for a bit more than minimum wage.

I just would like to know so I can see if I need to get a tutor or not! Thank you to anyone who helps!

I want to apply to the Tisch school at NYU and the School of the Arts at Columbia. I go to school in England and SATs aren’t mandatory here so I need to start tutoring soon if I do need the qualifications.

Hey my two sisters had an SAT tutor and now I have them. They are a couple who teaches SAT, but I feel like I am not being prepared! Even though it is one on one, i feel very uncomftorable with them, and I am afraid to ask questions. When I do, I feel like I don’t get a clear response. I really want to take a prep class somewhere else or get a different tutor, but I am afraid my parents wont let me because my two sisters got into good colleges and they had this tutor. What should I do??

My friend stats:

What are her chances for her dream coming true to get into any of those law schools?

Does anyone know some good personal-tutor for the SAT I exam? i am going to take the SAT in May 2. and want to have a personal-tutor before taking the test? does anyone know? like how much it costs? Must be in NY. thank you

Hello. I’m currently a freshman and I took the SATs for the first time and got a 1680.
Math: 700
Reading: 500
Writing: 480
I currently have private SAT tutors and use special SAT guide books. How much can I improve by the end of my sophomore year? Any tips? (Aiming for 2000+)

if i dont have enough money to afford a tutor, what are some alternatives to studying and still scoring well?

I scored a 34 on the ACT, which is equivalent to a 2260 on the SAT. I have been tutoring for the SAT for a few weeks now, and I think it is the right thing to do to take the SAT in January but not continue with tutoring. If I do well, but not up to 2260 on the SAT, do I have to report that grade or anything? Because I am planning on taking SAT II’s.

Ok. I am a freshman and I’m taking Biology. I want to do it by myself (with no tutor or any extra help) because I don’t want to become dependent on anyone. I want to start studying early, but I am sort of a procrastinator. So, I think I’m going to start studying soon.

Do you still think I have enough time to study and get a 750+, considering I am a freshman?

What is the best way to prepare for the SAT by yourself. Its not that I cant afford tutors, its just that I don’t have the time. What are different ways I can prepare for the SAT?

I am 14 and I have a dog walking, car washing, baby sitting, and tutoring bussiness with my friend and i needed some good ideas of what to do for advertising.

My 16 year old is very busy this coming spring and we could use some advice…

She has ballet on Tuesdays from 6:30 - 8:30
She has Tennis on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00

The drivers ed classes are either on Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Wednesday, so obviously we need to do the first option BUT SAT Prep courses can be on these days, also. We can’t fit everything in! However, there is a smaller prep class on Sundays, but we are on the waiting list. The classes are 80 dollars, which is a great price.

Should we spend the extra money for private tutoring SAT prep so we can have it on Sundays or Saturdays? Any insight to this busy schedule would be great.
