Learning to Sat test entails daily intensive practice. Whether you are taking a course or you don’t, practice at home with yourself going over and over questions that are hard in general or hard for you and solving test is proven to be very efficient way og learning given that you need to learn a massive amount of information in a relatively short time.
The sat questions we provide are so diverse so even if you think you already covered a certain field of knowledge we will surprise you with a tricky question that has a twist that you might miss.
Before we proceed to the concrete learning and practicing we will provide you with information about the test itself. Sat test measures the learning ability of the student.
Most of the questions are multi-type questions with one or more right answers but there are also subjective questions like writing an essay. The critics of this test say that it is culturally biased. I.e. this test is adapted to the western white student and doesn’t reflect the ability of wide groups. However, as for today it is widely accepted in the USA and is a entrance certificate to universities.
The test is comprised of a few sections:
Critical reading-this section includes reading comprehension and sentence completion. This section examines your ability to understand text and your vocabulary. This section is a multiple-choice questions.
Writing section: This section consists of two parts: multiple-choice questions and open question. The first part is finding the right errors in a sentence and the second part is writing an essay about a given subject.
Math: in this section there are also two type of questions: one, there is a mathematical problem that has four answers, only one is correct. You have to choose the answer out of the four options. The other type of questions is questions with no given answers, you have to calculate and reach the solution and fill it into a special grid.
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?
Well, I’m going to be taking the SAT Subject Tests for Math Level 2 and Physics and I would like to know which prep book (for both subjects) out of these three is the best: Kaplan, Princeton Review and Barron’s. Can you please give me your opinions on each company’s prep book for each individual subject and/or your experiences using them?
Thanks!

Okay over the summer i have bought the Princeton Review 11 SAT and PSAT practice book. Took the october SAT 2009, and scored a 1910.
I want to break the 2000 mark and have decided to take the Princeton Review Classroom Course. With the early bird special promotion (sign up before nov 9) ill get a 5 discount.
for those who have took the course, what should i expect in the class? Are there vocabulary cards that they give you and books? and how does the class run?
Thanks in advance!

What is the best preparation book for SAT II Biology M? Thanks. What you think about the princeton review for SAT II Biology M? Does it help?
I took Princeton Review & I was not impressed, I want to try something else but I don’t know what ?
so basically I’ve narrowed it done to three: RocketReview, Princeton Review, and the Official SAT prep book
From what I’ve read, the RocketReview book seems very good, especially because it caters to the new SAT test. However, since it’s relevantly new, not many people know about it and I’ve heard it has mistakes. Almost everyone I’ve talked to recommends the Princeton Review book, but it seems like RocketReview may have some new, innovative tips that the Princeton Review lacks. Overall, however, the Princeton Review seems like a safe choice. Lastly, there is the Official SAT prep book. To me, it makes a lot of sense to buy this one, because the practice tests are written by the same people who write the real tests. Yet, I have not heard to many good things about this book. It is probably my third choice as of now. It would be so helpful if you could take some time to recommend a book to me, and also to tell me why that book is a good choice or why the others are bad.
Also, it might help if you tell me a bit about your experience. Additionally, I am also considering taking the ACTs. So if you have a recommendation for a book for that test that would be great. Thank you so much.
i wanna prep for the SATs but i dont know which would be better… the princeton review or kaplan?
The three SAT prep centers that I am considering are Princeton Review, Kaplan Test Prep, and Elite Test Prep.
I’ve taken classes with Elite before but i was just looking for some more opinions out there. Please help me decide.
I will be a senior next year and I am not happy with my SAT score. This is really the crucial time period that I need to focus and concentrate in to get into a great college.
Thanks in advance! Please give me comprehensive answers with Stats, personal experience etc. The more information the better! 
i am debating between Kaplan Vs. Princeton Review Vs. Test Takers Prep.
Which one is overall better (Small Group Tutoring)?
Here’s the problem: I am a junior this year and my sophomore PSAT scores were about 177 or equivalent to a 1770 on the SAT. I’ve never taken an actual SAT test. However, my dad wants me to take an SAT prep class from the Princeton Review and it costs 9 and requires Sat/Sun time (4 hours for each class!).
Is this worth it for me to spend this much money and this much time on this type of class?
Would it be more effective if I took the SAT class first or should I take it after I try the SAT?
And no, I’m more worried about the four hour time than the money.
I’ve been trying to work through The Princeton Review 11 Practice Tests for the SAT. Before I did a few tests from the collegeboard book and I’ve found that the Princeton Review book seems much harder than the collegeboard’s - particularly the reading. Is it just me, or do other people feel the same?
Also, are the actual SATs easier, harder, or about the same as the Princeton Review SAT practice tests?
Okay so I asked about Kaplan SAT Prep and everyone said no way!! ha but what about Princeton Review SAT Prep? I would go every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for a month and take a mock SAT test 4 times. I would go for 3 hours each time except for the days I take the mock test. Its 0 and my parents are willing to pay but is it worth it? Thank you everyone for your input :))
im deciding between testmasters and princeton review on which class to take and please do not tell me to just read the books because im going to take the classes + review the books. my goal is to get atleast a 1950 and i got a 1600 on PSAT about a year ago without studying or ne thing. which class is better to take? only people who have taken the class give me opinions please. which course is better to take and why?! tY!
What would be good enough to get into? Or at least have a chance?
Also, which would be the best SAT prep course?
Kaplan
Sylvan
Princeton Review
I live in Southern California, and have seen many different prep courses like Kaplan, Elite, Revolution, Princeton Review and am wondering which one of these or another program would be best? Also, what course should I take, private tutoring, classroom, small group? All of this is very confusing. Finance is also a problem because I have a twin and we both need to take a course. So please let me know what is best!
Thankyou!!!
Hello. I’m looking at SAT prep classes because I wish to increase my score. I was thinking of getting a private tutor because I think I need the one-on-one attention or maybe a smaller class of like 4-8 students. I already took the Kaplan course and my score went up 200 points during the course, but on the actual test, it returned to the original score. So, I was wondering what is the best course? I was looking into Sylvan, Huntington, Revolution Prep, The Princeton Review, or just finding a tutor.
Any suggestions?
As a student who will embark on the senior year of high school in September, I am looking for the best course to take in preparation for the SAT. Due to schedule concerns, I either have to sign up for the Princeton Review course or the FastForward Thinking Course. I have not seen any opinion on the latter course, and would like to know someone else’s account on the class. If I do take this course, I will be in the honors class.
I recently got back the scores for my first SAT:
Reading: 770
Writing: 680
Math: 560
I’m happy with all except math, which isn’t really good enough for the schools I’m considering. I’m not a bad math student (straight A’s), but English is more my strength and the hard math problems on the test were a little overwhelming, especially due to the time constraints. I took about 10 practice tests from Princeton Review and College Board and I had an SAT tutor as well, which was helpful. Besides those things, what else should I do to raise my math score? 100 points would be ideal, but I don’t know if that’s realistic before the next SAT. Also, I don’t want to jeopardize my reading and writing scores by taking the general again unless I have to because I don’t want them to be any lower. Would a higher score on an SAT II math level test suffice, or do I need to retake the reasoning test?
I decided not to go to SAT prep courses because I think I would learn more by studying straight from books myself. So I was wondering which books should I buy to study for the SAT? Should I buy from Kaplan, Princeton Review, College Board, or some other brand? If so, which specific books should I buy? Also, to study on the vocabulary, how should I study on them, using flash cards and where do I exactly buy them? Other things about studying for the SAT would be helpful too.
Our 17 yr old just got his results from his SAT he scored a 1280, lower than his first score of 1385 back in March. We were not happy with the 1385 and sent him to the Princeton Review tutoring course for the June SAT test. Can’t believe he scored lower! When I told him his score, I got an’oh well’. Oh well?!? What the heck is that? He said he’s not taking the SAT again & will take the ACT in Oct. He just doesn’t get the reality of this. He wants to go away to college, yet doesn’t get it thru his head that a 1385 isn’t really good. His GPA is 3.02 (freshman thru junior years, he’ll be a senior in Sept.). As far as a resume from his 1st 3 years in high school, he played jv golf for 1 year, has worked as a counselor in the summer for the past 3 years, he’s not involved in any extra-curricula activities in school, but will be volunteering this summer.
What I’m looking for is feed-back or advice to give him. Even let me know if I’m expecting too much, 1st & only child. THANKS!
(please answer!)Are the Princeton Review SAT practice test generally harder than the Sat and other prep books?
Are the Princeton Review SAT practice test generally harder than the Sat and other prep books?
I took the Barron’s 2400 practice test and I got a score in the range of 1450-1520. I got a 1580 on the PSAT. I took the Princeton Review sat practice test and I got a 1210!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… I’m so annoyed.
I found princeton review much harder. Now I really dont know where I stand in terms of SAT performance.
