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!
I’m a junior and am completely lost with college and SAT stuff….I want to go into a really good college but my practice SAT scores aren’t looking so great(I took an ACT/SAT combo test with Kaplan and got 1875 SAT and 29 ACT)…which prep classes are best and why? Revolution,Kaplan, Princeton or anything else? Im aiming for 2200 and 33…but it really seems out of reach…

For ACT, just buy their book "Princton Review’s Test Prep for ACT" or something like that. I learned alot of good information from that book, and ended up with a 30. And hey, 29 isn’t that bad…the average for America is a 20. If you get a 30, that means you did better than 96% of test-takers.
First of all, don’t bother taking a class. If you have the resources, you’re better off hiring a private tutor, even for just a few hours to answer any specific questions you’ve got from doing practice problems on your own (and no Kaplan tutors please – Kaplan is just a rip-off). Buy the college board official guide and work from that, and the college board has online resources, too. I do like http://www.word-nerd.com for vocabulary review, because your average prep class does nothing, or almost nothing, to prepare you for vocabulary.
