I’m looking for a SAT prep course in the Princeton and plan to take it in summer, but I’m not sure which one I should take.
http://www.princetonreview.com/college/sat-test-prep For now, I prefer to choose private tutoring, ultimate, self-paced or a 12 students class in a tutoring center called ELITE near my house.
I’m an international student who came to U.S. for high school last year in August.
I am currently a sophomore and I took the prep SAT test around one and two month after I came to United States, I got 97th on Math,while I got 28th on Reading part. I only got 1060 scores in total.
My math is fine, there were some calculator questions while I didn’t know how to use the calculator, and I’m learning new math knowledge through classes so next time I will be better on that. But my Reading part is a disaster, I don’t really know how to improve it, though I got an A in college prep English last semester, but it’s more like my English teacher is very nice.
I’m not familiar with SAT, so I’m supposed to take a comprehensive one with many people and save some money. But according to the huge gap of my Math and English, I think I should have a 1-to-1 tutor that can personalize my class schedule, which costs more. And another thing is, I’m not taking the SAT right after tutoring or summer, it seems too early to have a private tutor.
I do have a busy class schedule in my junior year next year. I might get a worse scores if I cannot squeeze out enough time to study SAT since my poor english scores. But if I take it earlier I’m kind of feeling I’m not prepare for it.
Thanks a lot!
