<p>I am already in the range of 2100 to 2300. Would PR or TM help me to get to the next level. Can any one share your thoughts? Is it true that PR or TM sends out people to take exams and collect questions and pass it to the course students to boost the scores.</p>
<p>I did the PR course a year ago, which cost over 1.5k dollars. I felt the classes were almost an entire waste of time. The strategies they employ are the same as any other book, and (especially in the math) are often there to help only average students. They rarely help me. The PR course basically just gives you a few books and reads them to you while you do the exercises and practice. I guess it would help if you’re bad at self-studying, but self-studying is an important habit and skipping that is hardly worth the extra cost. You often have to wait while the tutor goes over material slowly for the less intelligent kids (which is true even in the “advanced” classes).
I felt the practice tests were helpful though, since I actually had people to grade my essays. There’s probably a lot cheaper ways to have people grade your tests though with similar or better efficiency.
If you’re already in the 2200 range, the best way to get better would be to just self-study. Start studying vocab books if you haven’t started, and do more sections/practice tests. There’s not much more except going over the content again and again.</p>
<p>Thank you 187</p>
<p>I agree with both posters. When you’re in that range, not a single course will help you. The only thing you can do at that point is practice, practice, and practice. A little bit of luck and a generous curve also help.</p>
<p>^I agree with the other posters. At you level you should concentrate on the toughest math, vocabulary, and grammar questions. I just bought a copy of Nova’s SAT Math Bible. It seems really good. And I recommend that you get of copy of Direct Hit’s Volume 2, The Toughest Words.</p>
<p>Definitely study some vocab if you haven’t already. That alone boosted my score dramatically.</p>
