Princeton Review vs. Kaplan

<p>I want to take an online course for SAT prep but can't decide between Princeton Review's and Kaplan's. Which do you recommend?</p>

<p>All I can tell you is, DON’T.</p>

<p>Neither 10 char</p>

<p>There’s no reason to take an online SAT prep course.
…but if you have to then the Official SAT online course by the college board is the only one that would do you any good.</p>

<p>read xiggi :]</p>

<p>okay so i looked through xiggi’s method but i really don’t think i’ll do well if i just do practice tests
i’ve decided to do an online class first and then move on to doing practice tests
anyone who has taken an online course, what was your experience like with princeton review or kaplan?</p>

<p>or any other online course? (besides the official one)</p>

<p>How about… they all suck? </p>

<p>This is the advice you pay >$1000 to hear: </p>

<p>First, look at the question.
Second, cross out all the answers that aren’t possible.
Third, randomly pick a choice and your probability at getting the answer right is enhanced!</p>

<p>■■■■■ bigb14 but i’m the kind of person who would only feel confident if i took some sort of course
wouldn’t the drills in the princeton review online course help somewhat?</p>

<p>If by “help” you mean “completely inaccurate and will lead you in the wrong direction,” then, yes. It will.</p>

<p>That’s not true, i know a few people who took Princeton and got 150+ point increases… also, Study Works ( live in VA, so idk if it’s in ur area) is very popular. hope i coul help unlike all tha above ppl</p>

<p>Like the others have said. Neither. Unless you’re seriously unmotivated (which you obviously aren’t since you’re on CC), any prep courses especially online will not help you in the least bit. Unless you start off in the 1500’s in that cae you should probably take a prep class to cover the basics. </p>

<p>All their drills, would obviously be from their prep boks, meaning their questions. Which are highly unreliable my advice is to only practice with real CB questions which you can obtain form the CB online course or the Blue Book. Those are the things that will really help you. </p>

<p>But if you really want to use alternative sources I have heard it helps to use the Kaplan Workbooks just for practice. Either way a online course isn’t really going to do you much good.</p>
