Sat prep courses! HELP!

<p>Do I need to take one to score well???
I'm a high school sophomore and am really confused about sat prep courses. Is it possible that I just use the BB and score in the 2200+ range? Princeton review classes are really expensive and most reviews are negative saying that these courses are a big waste of time and money! Does anyone have a more efficient alternative to these pricey and not always successful classes?</p>

<p>Also does anyone know of classes that may be expensive but are still helpful not like Princeton review which I heard was not useful at all?</p>

<p>Take a practice test to see where your score is. If it’s above about 2000, you’ll get very little out of a prep class. Classes with a lot of people won’t do you any good if most of the people aren’t as good at SATing as you are. </p>

<p>If you score well on the first practice test, just take more right before the actual test. A lot more. Personally, I did one per day for the week and a half leading up to the test and I think that’s the main reason that I did well. </p>

<p>It’s possible to score well over 2200 using only the blue book (I did), but it depends on where you start.</p>

<p>Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback</p>

<p>Have you taken sat prep courses? If so, which one would you recommend?</p>
