Help for college student retaking SATs!

<p>Hi, I am currently enrolled at CUNY Baruch college. I have made a whole bunch of mistakes at my pathetic excuse for a high school. My HS offered no honors classes or AP classes. They did not prepare me for college in any way shape or form.</p>

<p>Anyways, enough with the blaming.</p>

<p>I want to pursue a field in business. My college GPA right now is about 3.6. My HS stats stink (including SATS) My HS average was 83/100. SATS: Ready? 480 CR, 480 WRITING, 650 MATH. And I took it twice!</p>

<p>I want to retake the SATs again and get close to a 2000 so I can be looked at as at least a decent student. Do you guys think it's a good idea?</p>

<p>If so, do you guys think I should shell out money for a private tutor? Would it be worth it for a student already in college?</p>

<p>Get yourself the following books, and lock yourself in a room until you've studied them: </p>

<p>*Review Books *
Princeton Review's Cracking the SAT
Barron's 2400
Kaplan 2400 </p>

<p>You're going to need practice, so buy the following:
Practice Tests
Princeton Review's 11 Practice Tests for the SAT
College Board Official SAT Study Guide </p>

<p>Study and practice. Good luck, man.</p>

<p>Thanks! Anyone else?</p>

<p>Also, is it worth for me to get a private tutor? If so, which ones are the best?</p>

<p>I recommend the same books. Take a few practice tests to see if you need a private tutor or not. If you study those books thoroughly and take the practice tests properly, your score will go up a lot.</p>
