Dallas/Plano: Karen Dillard's SAT Prep

<p>I'm planning to pay $1100 for this SAT Prep program some of my friends recommended: "Karen Dillard's" They have two locations by Dallas (one in plano and one by colleyville). Right now, I'm a sophomore about enter junior year. Does anybody have any input or opinions about this program or have u taken it already and how much did ur score improve. All input is appreciated. Thnx.</p>

<p>no it sucks, i entered in my sofmore yr as well, and i increased 70 points, but thats prolly just natural going from sofmore to junior yr</p>

<p>If you are in dallas, go to Houston and take TestMasterz</p>

<p>I have one friend who took the course and was pleased, but she was shooting for 1200s or so. For the money, I would recommend getting a private Princeton Review tutor. You can add on hours as needed. It is a very efficient way to prepare and is more customized than a classroom. The tutor will have you take a practice SAT before tutoring starts and that lets them know what the focus needs to be.</p>
