<p>Does anybody have any recommendations regarding which classroom prep course would be better? Price, location, and classroom time seem about the same.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Princeton Review has the best ACT prep outside of the official materials, so I would say PR.</p>
<p>definitely PR</p>
<p>watch out though. PR usually have the weirdest techniques. Like for SAT, PR tells you skip the passage (or just skim it), and Kaplan just suggests you take little notes by the paragraph. So if you're not afraid to change, go with PR.</p>
<p>The ACT is different, though. It's not as tricky as the SAT.</p>
<p>yea, but PR still give pretty weird adivices about the reading section. Like underlining key words, and go back and skim the passage in 1 min while paraphrasing it. I mean i love PR, but it's not for everyone. Especially those who have been reading tons and tons of books since they were born. They are use to the traditional reading-the-whole-passage way.</p>
<p>I am an avid reader but I don't read the passages. They're boring as hell. I read the question & answers first and then skim. Reading those passages makes my mind wander and I actually get sleepy! Just way too boring!! SAT is even worse.</p>
<p>Having used both, I would strong recommend P.R. over Kaplan for SAT or ACT prep -- hands down.</p>
<p>Princeton review,Kaplan is terrible and a waste of money!</p>
<p>I really appreciate all of the replies. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of PR. Thanks for helping make this decision.</p>
<p>I havent gotten PR, I have Kaplan, and I do learn when I read why I got a practice test question wrong, but there were several ****ing errors in the cd test itself! I was outraged, cuz I got those wrong as it happens because of the errors....Yeah Kaplan is good though, but if people say good things about PR, then do that....Kaplan is so-so.</p>
