<p>Is studying by yourself better than attending those courses??
If so, how should I study??</p>
<p>My mom wants me to attend Princeton Review's class during summer, but I've heard a lot of bad things about it here... so I'm thinking maybe I should just buy a book and study. But HOW do you study for it? Do you just read through the prep book and do the practice tests? </p>
<p>I'm so confused... :(</p>
<p>The PR class is great, actually. But you should start with a book or two and see how you do, and then look at a class if you need it. I have PR's Cracking the SAT, and their 11 Practice Tests book, and both are awesome. I would start with the Cracking book -- read it straight through. It has an overview of the test, tips for each section and practice questions for each, and a bunch of tests. Do the practice questions as you go. Start taking practice tests when you're familiar enought with the test.</p>
<p>Also be sure to get the College Board's official practice tests.</p>
