<p>I am looking at Princeton and Kaplan prep classes. Any suggestions which one is better
Thanks</p>
<p>I took the Princeton Review class, and it was pretty helpful. My math score went up about 90 points, reading 60 and my writing was strong from the beginning. They show you a lot of "in and out" tricks for the test that you probably wouldn't have known otherwise. Also, it gives you a lot of practice right before the exam so you're comfortable and you know your own personal strategies for test-taking. Practice under timed testing conditions is the best thing you can do for the SAT, and you get a lot of this with Princeton Review. I do recommend it, although I only benefited from it because I am a horrible standardized test taker. </p>
<p>If you score pretty high already, then don't worry about taking the course, because it's not worth $1000. Only take it if you need extra practice right up until the exam. It really kind of forces you to prepare, so you aren't putting it off all the time. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Only take the courses if you really need help with the test. I mean if you aren't really familiar with the material at all, and you think that you would need that kind of motivation to help you do well, then take it. If you're just looking to boost your score up a little more and you already know the tips and tricks, don't waste the time and money. Quite honestly, I think the best prep if you know what you're doing is just to take as many practice tests as possible. And you can do that without take a prep class.</p>
<p>It depends if you get a good teacher and a small class. I was lucky because my teacher got a 1590 (on the old SAT) and there was only 4 students (including me). Not bad for a "classroom course" with usually 20+ students.</p>
