SAT Questions

Hey, so background info real quick: took the SAT in March 09, and scored a 1790 (cr: 550, math: 620, writing: 620.) see, i had taken a prep course through sylvan learning center, but i truly do not think it made a difference. it was a very weak (but unfortunately expensive) course and i really need to increase my score, seeing as my dream school is Georgetown!!!

my goal SAT is roughly a 2100. if you have a course you want to recomend, thanks so very much.

so, anyone have any suggestions on test prep centers that are GOOD!!!??? Put money aside for a moment, and just speak loud and clear please. I really need that score and am willing to study and prep as much as possible for it. so if you know of a great prep place in the houston area of texas, please, please, please let me know.

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?

Has anyone taken the SAT/ACT prep courses at Sylvan Learning Center? or do you know anyone that has? I’m considering taking it over the summer, but I want to know if it’s worth my money. So, if anyone could enlighten me on how much they benefitted from the course, that would be much appreciated. Also, if you could name some other places/private tutors for test prep go right ahead! Tell me what you guys recommend! and any tips for SAT prepping and testing are also welcomed! lol.

Thank You!

Hey there, I’d appreciate a little feedback for those who have taken an SAT course to raise there score. My friend is taking one at the Sylvan Learning Center. How much does it help? If he has a 1600, they say they can help to raise it 200 points. Is it far-fetched for him to raise it to 2100?
