Hey guys, I heard about this SAT prep method called Kranse Institute, is it any good? Like has anyone ever used it and had a good experience or bad experience with it ?
Please let me know! Thank you(:
They tried to astroturf this site not too long ago, so I don’t have a very high opinion of them or their values.
What do you mean by astroturf?
[Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by a grassroots participant(s). It is a practice intended to give the statements or organizations credibility by withholding information about the source’s financial connection. The term astroturfing is derived from AstroTurf, a brand of synthetic carpeting designed to resemble natural grass, as a play on the word “grassroots.” The implication behind the use of the term is that there are no “true” or “natural” grassroots, but rather “fake” or “artificial” support, although some astroturfing operatives defend the practice](Astroturfing - Wikipedia)
They posted on CC pretending to be a student.
Oh that is horrible… I wouldn’t think it is a reliable source then. Thank you!
What would you recommend for SAT prep?
Don’t recommend! Use Kahn or Princeton. This company advertises simple %100 money back no questions asked guarantee if your scores don’t improve. My child watched all the videos that she struggled with on prior sat,…it is NOT beneficial at all for the new SAT. They don’t stand by their product and the guarantee is a LIE. Waste of time and money! Wish we would’ve found this site before wasting $400.
Marvin, I hadn’t heard the Astroturf term… but it makes sense!
