<p>I just started an SAT class and wanted to know if this was a good choice, or if private tutoring is better. Also, is learning word roots better than studying actual vocabulary words?</p>
<p>it’s different for everyone. Some benefit from taking a class, some from a private tutor, some from both, and some from none (studying on their own). Basically, if you are at the top of your class, and are a smart kid, then don’t waste time with a class, and work on your own. I brought mine from 1980 to 2240 (in 3 weeks) (and probably 2300+ in October) just by working by myself.</p>
