self study for sat? or prep scholar

hi im currently a junior and idk if i should take a sat class or just self study…i don’t think i have enough time to attend a 4-hour long class every week and mange my current workload! did anyone self study? and got a high score? (1500 or above)
should i take prep scholar online?
i didn’t study and just took a diagnostic test (1370) ik its low but i really want to raise it up!!

Self-studying is definitely doable. I used Khan Academy the entire summer and took the SAT that November (junior year) and got above a 1500. IMO, many of these “boot camps” or prep classes are a waste of time and money. You can practice on your own with free, high-quality resources.

ty for the response! what what ur initial score? and about how many hours did you spent on khan academy?

I took a practice test cold in the beginning of summer and got 1400. I practiced daily (minus a 2 week period in July when I went on vacation), and stopped once school started. I think it’ll help even if you only do 1 or 2 sections per day (though I recommend doing more than that occasionally).
