<p>Take a Princeton Review Prep course. The first time I took the SAT, I got a 2080. A month later, after the review course, I had a 2280. 200 point difference with NO studying on my own. Sometimes it’s easiest to let the experts tell you what to learn. The SAT is incredibly predictable, and there’s definitely a formula for success. I’d definitely recommend Princeton Review (either the book or one of the courses) over the official Blue Book or any other program.</p>
