<p>What are the best SAT prep books and course?</p>
<p>depends on ur current score. Def get the official guide for new sat and take a practice test. Depending on ur target score then decide whether to do a course.</p>
<p>what about course? Princeton review?</p>
<p>i took pr and it was ok to say the best. The problem with these courses is that they are geared towards people with lower scores. For example lets use the old sat score scale. If you had, lets say, a 1000 and were moderately smart, the course would bring you up to a 1250-1300. But lets say you have a 1350 before you took the course. The course will at the max get you up to a 1400 but not higher. Once you break 1350, its all about practice tests and self study.</p>
<p>But about the courses themselves, they mostly help in math but not much in verbal. They teach you some interesting tricks for math but unfortunately for verbal, its more or less just basic concepts which are not really that helpful. However, I must stress that you can get all the same information from the course from a 20 dollar prep book. The course is only if you have low self discipline in terms of sitting down and reading the book. </p>
<p>And 1 last thing, get Kaplan 2400 for a book of hard only questions. Good practice.</p>
<p>It depends on the teacher, call each of the companies and get info on the teacher that you will have.</p>

<p>Testmasters does NOT offer a money-back guarantee. Read the fine print. And their vocab lists are so accurate because the founder used to work and write questions for ETS and (probably in volation of his ETS employment contract) now uses the same proprietary formulas and trade secrets to predict words for future exams.</p>
