<p>What are the best SAT prep courses?? I've heard of Kaplan and heard it wasn't so good... I signed up for test masters but unfortunately they cancelled it because there weren't enough people signed up...</p>
<p>I've heard of Karen dillard prep, and if there isn't anytbing better - I'll be taking that... </p>
<p>Anyone have any recommendations?? I'm located in north/ north east Texas. </p>
<p>I am looking for IN CLASS / on site courses - I will be studying on my own but I still think an SAT class will be helpful at least a LITTLE.</p>
<p>I was actually going to apply to Kaplan, however I tend to do a bit of review research before I actually pay for a serivce/item…</p>
<p>I’d recommend the Online SAT Prep Course though :)</p>
<p>My parents are really those old school types who think in-class is better than online, and I think it a degree they may be right… But… I haven’t eliminated that idea completely yet. Thanks for the reply! </p>
<p>@LifeAsWeKnowWeIt How does 1:1 tutor sound? It’s probably the most expensive of all, but you can focus in a peaceful environment (judging from past experiences, kids who are in the same class as you tend to talk alot or maybe a distraction)</p>
<p>If you must do in-class prep, none of the big name shops do a good job (Kaplan, Princeton Review, Sylvan, etc). Teacher quality is bad, prep material is bad, all around bad.</p>
<p>If you live near a city, local shops usually have better teachers and better reputation at your school. Ask seniors at your high school who got into top schools how they prepped.</p>
<p>Like medicsz said online sat prep is better these days. Search online sat prep and see which ones you like.</p>
<p>Tutoring, that’s also something I’ll keep in mind… Not sure if there are reputable tutors around - well I mean I’m sure there are but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find one.</p>
<p>I’ve also heard big name companies aren’t the best, but I don’t exactly trust smaller local places either… I mean if they were good, surely they’ll be well known around the area or have good reviews? I have yet to find one out… I might just go to the Karen dillard… Or an online test masters… If I choose to do online</p>
<p>If you do online, check out wyzant and tutors.com and maybe other big tutoring sites. They have plenty of people who specialize in SATs and many of those get excellent reviews.</p>
