<p>Hi, my parents are expecting high scores from me on the SAT/PSAT, so they're willing to hire me a tutor (i know, im stupid right?) and after researching across the interweb I was as lost as before on my selection of tutors. So if you have had a experience with a tutor, please do tell me the company(i.e princeton review), your experience, and your score(if dont mind :)) thanks!</p>
<p>P.S - princeton review's master tutor 1:1 plan looks really promising. and money isn't really a issue(no, im not spoiled, its draining my car fund lol)</p>
<p>so you joined College Confidential too. lol XD</p>
<p>Clue: lab</p>
<p>u know going to the lab with me >.></p>
<p>Tutors arent worth your money</p>
<p>Don’t get a tutor. They aren’t worth it.</p>
<p>Well, my friend used the PR 1 on 1 tutoring program for her SAT II Math II exam. She scored a 580 because she ran out of time following the tutor’s “plug in the answer choices to get the right answer” “strategy.”</p>
<p>anyone with positive results? lol</p>
<p>if you get a tutor then make sure its not PR or Kaplan
get a dude who scored high</p>
<p>Ha, Funny that you would appear in a thread I was watching.</p>
<p>I’m also debating getting a tutor (at least maybe classes, whichever I deem to be more effective) to supplement my copious self study. It seems like a tutor would be useful, its just finding the right one.</p>
<p>STudy by yourself dude.</p>
<p>Keep in mind a tutor can only help you to a certain extent. Determination to score higher and get as many problems right as possible should be your tutors:D</p>
<p>The thing with tutors is that good ones cost money. A lot of money. The thing with SATI (I am refering to math) is that u should have a good grasp on the topics yourself and the tutor will help you find the fastest and easiest ways to manipulate your knowledge and get a good score. I suggest 1:1 tutors.</p>
<p>After working with my tutor for math for two years I am able to finish a 25 min section of math in 6 minuets and spend the rest of my time checking my work.</p>
<p>With this in mind, it is in my honest opinion that reading silverturtles guide several times for grammer is sufficiant enough to get constant 750s while CR just takes practice. </p>
<p>Again, just my opnion.</p>
<p>I’ve recently taken an SAT course in Kaplan. The first 2 words associating with my experience are both “bullsh1t”.
You’ll get in a class with some idiots, who slow everything down + except of practicing questions (which is better done by one’s self) they only keep discussing those “strategies”, which even those idiots-classmates can determine without anyone’s help.
If your parents are strongly convicted in you having a tutor, though, do personal lessons.</p>
<p>But they have a guranteee :)))</p>
