<p>Is it better for my son to take a SAT prep class or study on his own using books and practice tests?</p>
<p>It depends on the person. I suggest starting with self-study using guidance from posts by xiggi and silverturtle.</p>
<p>For those aiming for 600+, stay away from classes. Unless the class is ONLY for 600+ types.
Did you take the PSAT? What was the score.
Frankly, self study for PSAT and/or 1st SAT.<br>
If result not near target, look into tutor but do your research for tutors. Depends upon what your target score is.</p>
