<p>My school is offering a Revolution prep for free. This course has 4-5 practice test but I never heard of Revolution Prep. Does anybody know how this course is? If it sucks then please tell me so I don't waste my time</p>
<p>The program is quite good. The instructors are college students who have had recent hands-on test taking experience, and who have done extremely well is the SAT/ACT. The teacher who ran the course with which I’m familiar was a Stanford junior. She related well to the students in the class and was generally helpful. </p>
<p>The practice tests are good. They are graded quickly. The group dynamics for the course is helpful in that you learn from other students, and in that it forces a high level of focus and commitment to do well.</p>
<p>Don’t expect much for essay preparation however. And as always complement the course with additional practice – especially using College Board tests.</p>
<p>Their validity is rather questionable. My school newspaper ran an article on them:</p>
<p>[Revolution</a> Prep’s mock tests’ integrity under fire (10/08)](<a href=“http://thelowell.org/component/content/article/33-news/2702-revolution-preps-mock-tests-integrity-under-fire-1008]Revolution”>http://thelowell.org/component/content/article/33-news/2702-revolution-preps-mock-tests-integrity-under-fire-1008)</p>
<p>In addition to that article, I also took a practice ACT from them. I never received my score, even after multiple attempts at contacting them. In the end they replied that there was a system malfunction.</p>
<p>Make what you will of it.</p>
<p>Thanks for telling me thesmiter.
Now I realize that RP sucks!</p>
