<p>Hummm... So recently, I signed up for an sat Course because my scores were pretty low. Around 1500 pretty bad... And so anyways, i go to the class and I noticed that the second diagnostic Test was easier than the first. It is as if they made the second one easier so that the students would "improve". And I'm sure it's easier because when I look back at the first diagnostic test, I still don't get half the stuff there. By the way, I went from a 1670 to an 1890</p>
<p>I believe that all SAT course are designed in a similar way. Thats one way they can promise a 200 point increase or whatever.</p>
<p>I know my friend took a sat course and he went from a 1400 to a 1800 or so. He ended up with like a 1510 on the real sat though.</p>
<p>really khoitrinh :-? so I have to look back to my improvement.
I also took PR. my CR and M score improve 30 points each section.
However, here's the thing I learn: all the contents you have to learn yourself (math, reading skill, grammar). PR only teaches you test-taking skill. If you take a prep course and the score goes up significantly, it means you lacked the skills before. If the score is the same -->> practice reading and math.
one more benefit when taking class is you can contact the teachers. those are great sources for you. most teachers must have like 800 math and >750 CR.</p>
