<p>Is it worth it? Should I go with Princeton Review, Testmasters, Applerouth, or something else for private online tutoring?</p>
<p>I don't have access to tutors where I live. We don't have Kaplan, C2, Testmasters etc. here. So I think online might be the best and only option.</p>
<p>IMO these services tend to be pricey. If you really cant find anyone in your area through Wyzant or care.com you have a couple options. </p>
<p>The first is to invest in books and tutor them yourself. Most of this is about learning some basic strategies and practicing. </p>
<p>You can try the online services. Many of those are just web based versions of their normal classrom-style ciriculum. </p>
<p>You could also try contacting some of the wyzant tutors not in your area and ask if they would tutor online, im thinking of facetime or skype based. </p>
<p>Your high school counselors office should have some contacts as well.</p>
<p>Tutors are at the pricier end of the SAT/ACT spectrum. </p>
<p>I would first buy the Official SAT Study Guide by the College Board and work through the tests. They have most of the questions for all the sections worked out online on CC and Khan Academy. </p>
<p>At first, I made a 1800 on the SAT with a little studying and then I really made an effort to bring up my score by setting aside an hour a day to do a little practice. I made a 2150 last time, but I’m hoping to make a 2300 one last time (with all the extra summer time) before sending in my scores for college.</p>
<p>It really does depend on your self discipline to either study for the test by yourself and constant drills or getting a tutor to walk you through it.</p>
<p>I agree with what has already been said.
Tutors can be pretty pricy and there are plenty of good free resources you can use out there.</p>
<p>Start by getting yourself a book of practice tests.You need to make sure you’re used to taking the tests and after a while, you’ll likely start recognizing your strong points and your weak points.
Other than that, there’s some online practice tests you can take as well. Take a few practice tests (either online or on paper) and then figure out what you need most help with. From there, you can start looking up practice problems or good books to improve in those areas.</p>
<p>One thing that I thought was pretty handy was the SAT Question of the Day. You can sign up on the College Board website to get the question e-mailed to you every day.</p>
