i need to take an sat prep course for a graduation requirement , is there any online course that offers this?

My parents have been pressuring me to take an SAT prep course as well as an ACT prep course. I feel like they are too much money. I have bought prep books and have been taking practice tests. I was wondering what everyone’s experiences were with SAT prep classes.

Would just using books and studying a lot suffice? I need to save money

some of my friends are taking SAT classes with teachers to prepare them for the real SAT. one of the classes lasts 4 months and costs 0..

im thinking of going to SAT seminars which hand out practice tests and tell you strategies.. plus i already have 3 SAT prep books

i dont know how much a teacher would help me, ive been told that the more practice tests and problems i do the better i will become at the SAT

i only missed one problem on the math portion of the PSAT (got a 75) and my writing score went up 6 points.. but my reading went down a point.. if that helps with suggesting if i should take SAT classes or not

I’m taking the SAT in may 2008. I want to increase my grade by 200 points. Which is better? Kaplan or Princeton Review? Thanks.

I’m sick. I have the flu, and I’m contagious, but I also have this SAT prep class that I reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally don’t want to miss.
Challenge: Find a way for me to go!

Do you just go through practice tests and then review them? Anything else?

Please!!!! This is very important!!
An answer from someone who took a course would be great!

Did it work. How many points did your SAT go up. Can you list the best ones to take?

Please help me if you know where other good sat prep courses are.

I’m just wondering if there are any good websites that anyone recommends which provide tips and strategies, along with practices out there to prepare you for the SAT. I am not fully depending on it, since I am also taking SAT Prep courses, but I am just looking for sites that I can use to prep.

details please! also if it raised your score, by how much did it raise it?

Please provide me a list of as many SAT prep courses in Houston, Texas that you can think of .

Thank you!
I know many people would recommend using books to prepare/on my own. However, I would prefer to take a course because it helps relieve my stress.

sylvan? the princeton review? kaplan? other?

what’s the best option for an online course?
i want to maximize my score as much as i can

i am a junior in high school, and all these people i know are taking sat prep courses. my parents don’t think i need one because i’ve always been a very good standardized test taker, i did very well on the psat sophomore year, and they’re a lot of money for something i can really do by myself. when people take a prep course what do they learn, how many practice tests do they take, what do they work on, etc? should i even bother to follow what a prep course would do if i just have a few trouble areas (the writing multiple choice and the harder math problems)?

I’m a high school junior and I’m taking the SAT probably in May.
I’ve never done any PSAT or SAT prep course before, but I have taken the PSAT twice. First score was 176, second was 181.

So should I take any SAT prep course at all? TestTakers is doing a program at my school, and it’s slightly over 1k. Has anyone heard of it and can tell me if it’s worth the money? What about the Princeton Review course? How much is that one in comparison to TestTakers?
Thanks in advance.

so i’m taking an sat prep course and i was wondering if they really work? is it like the high school ones were you go with your book and then your do work and take some test or is it completely different? ( i know that the sat work will be harder ) thank you

i’ve already taken the psat (i got a 180ish)… im now doing the gruber’s SAT prep book. should i take the risk taking the SAT before doing a real prep course? i need AT LEAST a 2000!! thanks

English is not my first language ,but unluckily i have to take the SAT in May , this will be my second time to take it ,and probably my last chance,cuz i have to go back to my country pretty soon ,the first one is terrible (with the reading 250 ,writing 380,and math 700) ,but i need a high score (above 2000) for a good university .

i know i only have one month left but i want my family and myself happy about my SAT ,and i will try my best ,SO do you think a SAT Prep Course is necessary for me or you have some other good idea ,please help me ,since this this very important to me .

because of the time schedule and my position ,now the only one avilable is Sylvan ,about 5, 20 hours .who know about this learning center ,will it help me about my english in SAT in only one month
i can afford 5 , but it is still not a small number of money to me .
what i am concerned is that class ,will it help me .and my biggest problem is the vocab ,but that class didnt seem have too much about vocab .
that class is mostly for the local americans which dont have to much vocab problem
vocab in one month
