SAT test prep classes?

The most helpful thing you can do is buy those thick prep guides. If you have an extra thousand + dollars, they say those prep courses can raise your score by a couple pts, but its supposed to be really marginal. Now some form of practice and study is important- because it is a tricky test- meaning if you know the tricks you will do better, as apposed to actually testing IQ objectively. The princeton review has a great (really thick) book that has lots of helpful hints, and the acorn people put out their own book... the tests in there are said to reflect the actual test more then any other book... but as for the classes themselves- there have been tons of articles calling them a waste of money full of false and un-substantiated promises. If I had an extra 1,000 and was shooting for a top school- I might spend the money, because who knows... but if your not, I think its more likely to be a rip off... and you could have gotten the same score paying 20-40 dollars in prep guide books... good luck deciding.

Waste of money.

Waste of your time.

This is statement coming from many students who took prep classes.

I would agree with the first latino answerer or the hispanic answerer.
