<p>about getting tutor..
how much is usually tutor??is it really worth??
cause my mom really want me to have SAT tutor....
and where do you guys get tutors??</p>
<p>I used a tutor for the writing section...Princeton Review has good one on one tutors for around...$80 an hour i think.</p>
<p>Tutors will go from $50 to $500.</p>
<p>If you get a college student, you save a lot of money AND it's someone who fairly recently prepared for and took the test, so they have real-life experience with it.</p>
<p>i used to go to an SAT prep academy but i found it too advanced, so im taking private tutoring classes. </p>
<p>is it worth it? from my perspective, Heck yeah! I find it extremely difficult to work in a SAT prep CLASS. If it's not 1 on 1, i can't never study for the SAT. Well, self-study also exists, but here im comparing SAT classes vs. private tutoring. So yay.</p>
<p>it's all based on if you're really getting stuff from a private tutor. for some people, taking SAT classes of 5-10 people in each class seems to be better, for others, private tutoring's better. take that in consideration if you have ever thought about SAT CLASSES, then maybe you could even compare prices. It's all up to you, but in general, private tutoring is pretty good (based on who'd u get, though)</p>
<p>hmm.....
i dont think i can go to the class with people cause english is my second language so most people are probably much more advanced to compare with me on verbal and writing section(im pretty good at math though...)
if i buy(???buying people???)tutor from princeton review,what kinda people is tutor??like college students??or full time job??</p>
<p>Take a Kaplan class. It's like $500 for a bunch of sessions. Definately worth it.</p>
<p>personally, I think they are a waste of money. If you just buy a couple of those books and work hard on them ( i did a section of each a day) you should be fine.</p>
<p>dont get the official one, Kaplan and princeton reviews are the best</p>
<p>I agree for the most part with abdulk. </p>
<p>But I strongly agree about which books to get. The official SAT book should be the number one book you use for prep. Kaplan and Princeton are sometimes good for strategies, but the best way to prepare for the SAT is to practice, and there is no way to better practice than using the REAL tests.</p>
<p>I had the official,but I didnt like how, on the practice tests, it didnt give you explanations as to why an answer is THE answer ( important for verbal, at least for me).</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>in my opinion, private SAT tutors are much better than the Kaplan or Princeton Review tutors... after meeting with a princeton review tutor, my critical reading score actually lowered consistently on the practice tests and then the SAT... but then i got a private tutor for the critical reading and raised my score DRASTICALLY in about 5 sessions...</p>
<p>Ya, I took a Princeton review class, which drastically improved my math and writing sections, but my critical reading neer really changed. You can get something out of it as long as you put in effort. By the way, where I live (upper to upper-middle class area), it goes for a $1000. Just shop around.</p>
