SAT Questions

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!

I’m going to try to save up some money for a laptop, but I’m in high school and I don’t have a job- therefore I don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on one.

What brand / model laptop would you recommend? I don’t like apples much, but I kind of want an apple laptop to use garage band… but they are really expensive too =( so i don’t know…

thankful for any recommendations
thanks in advance.

I haven’t taken the SATs yet, and I want to score at least 2000. I know I can easily achieve 1900, but I want to challenge myself.

I recently came to the US from Australia and as the teaching styles are quite different, it was a bit hard for me to adjust, particularly in math. If the test prep book explains mathematical concepts thoroughly, that would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance!

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!

Is there any good novel that can help somehow?

About the grammar, it does really trappy…it looks like correct sentence but I believe there’s something wrong with it…but I dont know which one I should choose! Oh boy…Is there any nice free website or somekind to boost my score?

Does apply for tutor help? In my city I cant find any SAT tutor and If i want to, I have to go to abroad and it cost quite expensive, would u guys recomend this?

Please any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks in advance

I’m going to be taking my first SAT test this year. and I want to prepare for it.

If you have been down this road, please tell me which Prep Book/ Review book helped you the most? Where do I find a good book with SAT words? Any and all suggestions are much appreciated. I really want to get a 1270 or more to get bright futures (florida scholarship).

Thanks in advance.

I’ve heard that College Board’s practice tests are "dumbed down" compared to the real thing. On the other hand, college board is the one distributing the tests, so it would seem like their tests would be most accurate. I took a practice test from a college board free guide and it did seem easier, but it’s not like i suddenly got all 800s on it, either.
What should I do? If you took the SAT in march, especially, if you used college board’s study guide, how did it compare to the actual test?
Thanks in advance!!!
thanks guys! specifically, what do you think of this book for the math section? (i suck at the math section)

I know there is no way to REALLY study and I know that I have a year [i believe] until I actually take them BUT, my mother wants me to start practicing.

What are the best ways to prepare with out going into a program or tutoring and what not.

Any good CDs, online tests, etc? Please let me know.

Thanks in advance. =]

I’m gonna be taking the SAT (reasoning test) in December and I have yet begun to study. What books have you tried and have actually helped? I’ve heard Gruber’s SAT prep is really good and Princeton is ok. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I’m using HP Pavilion dv2911us laptop running Windows Vista Home Edition.

The problem started when I was arguing with someone online and started banging on my keyboard while typing out of frustration and all of the sudden, the screen messed up and began to show rainbows etc. So I manually rebooted by taking out the battery. After trying to load Windows up normally (not in safe mode), it reached an error screen that said something like Windows cannot start up, we suggest launching start up repair, so I do it and it loads some files and eventually reaches a black screen and just stay there. I can see my mouse cursor and move it but that’s it.

After attempting to do that several times repeatedly, I eventually tried entering BIOS and doing random things. One of those things was the Hard Drive Self Test under Diagnostics. However, the test would always fail, giving me a test status of error #1-07 fail. What does that mean?

What exactly is the problem? What is the solution? Thanks in advance!

I take sat classes but the math isn’t really helping. I need a great SAT preparation math book that can really make me understand geometry concepts. I looked at some books but want some advice from other people. i really only need to know everything from A-Z in geometry, the rest of the math I’m okay with. Thanks in advance!

I’m planning on taking the SAT for the second time. The first time didn’t go so hot; I only scored a 1340, which is absolutely terrible.. but at that time, I didn’t take it seriously either. I really want to score much higher this time, for it will probably be my last go.

I want to know… how did you prepare for your SAT? Ideally, I’d love to get over a 2000 but that is so unrealistic. I’ll settle for a 1600… or heck; a 1500. Do you know of any useful sites, hints, tips, tricks to do well on the SAT? Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

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.

I go to an international school in Thailand, and they sold photocopied SAT study guides to the students for 500B(13USD), and few American published textbooks are fully photocopied and distributed to students. I was wondering if this is legal or not…If illegal, where can I contact to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

On my psat, I got 620, 700, and 510 on reading, math, and writing respectively. I am considering a prep course, maybe kaplan or princeton. But I also have the books from a kid who took the kaplan course last year.

Is it possible to raise my score to at least 2100 through self-studying or should I take a prep course?

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance!!!

Of course I want to test it before but dont know what I should take (cables) along with my 2 year old HP laptop. Nor do I know HOW to do it . Any tips/ideas??? I’d greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance

I recently took the PSAT and didn’t get top-tier results but mostly average. I have heard that just because someone gets a high SAT score doesn’t mean they’re smart nor does it mean that they will get into a college of their choice for sure. So should I take a SAT course to improve the areas which I am weak in and get better at test-taking OR should I just buy an SAT book and do the work independently? Answers with explanations help! Thanks in advance!

Almost everyone I know is taking a SAT score. Is it worth the money? Can I do just as good if I used several study guides and take a lot of practice tests?

Thanks in advance!

I did poorly on the PSAT and realize that I need to get a better score on the SAT to make up and even have a chance of getting into a good college. Can someone give me a recommendation for a good prep class that is well known for increasing scores the most?

ex. Testmasters, Princeton Review, Kaplan, Sylvan, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I am from Romania and I would like to study abroad. I want to go to a university in the United States and I want to take the SAT test. I found subjects on the internet and I think I am ready for the test.
