<p>As the title says, are SAT classes helpful? I don't know if I should take on or not. They are so damn expensive.</p>

<p>No, teach yourself with a prep book. You'll get the same information they teach you at a class. For $20. </p>

<p>Best of all, you learn on your own schedule. Many people reel in fantastic scores without ever taking a class.</p>

<p>The only helpful part about them is that they force you to allot certain amounts of time toward studying. But if you can find a way to motivate yourself to put in the time with a prep book and some practice tests, it'll be infinitely more helpful.</p>

<p>I concur. Also you can breeze through things that come easily to you rather than be forced to devote 4 hours of your time to something you already know. This gives you more time to focus on the things you're having the most trouble with me.</p>

<p>I took a class and felt it was a waste of time half of the time. But, I admit I would have never found the time to study for the test. But still, not worth it.</p>

<p>Self-study is the way to go. Those class fees truly are ridiculous and not worth the money or time.</p>
