I can’t pay for tutoring… how can I study for the SATs?

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!
Ok so, I am very confident in English, however, not so much in math…
Some of my friends are spending up to 10,000 a year JUST for SAT tutoring…. I know my family cannot afford that, nor do I have the free time like my friends do. I have a lot of other things to do. (No, not hanging out, it’s more significant than that.)
Anyway, I need to take them some time this year.
What can I do to make sure I’ll get a fantastic score on the SAT with zero money and little time?
Should I invest in an SAT Prep Course or not?!?
Well, I’ve browsed through just about half of the search results for "SAT prep course" on yahoo answers, but I still can’t find the answer for the question I had.
A little background on me: I’m a busy HS Junior, i made 176 on the PSAT last year, (lowest was Crit Reading (54), highest was Math (66))… I think I did substantially better on this year’s, but I don’t know yet. I bought a PSAT book from Kaplan for the PSAT and went over the CR section and writing so-so. I had the book for a while, but I didn’t really use it until a week before the exam
…. I did the three practice tests and got 200+ on all of them. (highest was 212, lowest was 201)
Anyway! My question is:
Should I take the Kaplan SAT course (Princeton Review isnt offered in my area)?? Does anyone think it could help someone like me? Does it raise scores substantially? Or would I do better just buying a book? (Remember, I am a student who is busy and has little time, and is not very self-starter-y and probably wouldnt use the book as much as I should and would probably cram 1-2 weeks before the test)
I dont want to have to spend 00 on something targeted to students who really have it worse than I do, because i want to break 2100+ on the SAT… So yeah…
