DD is a junior, and will be seeking admissions in a high-academic university next year.
(Engineering program)
Have any of you that have already gone through this process done any of the SAT prep courses that are available?
Specifically, I am interested in the Princeton Review SAT 1400+ course.
Taught live, online, this course makes guarantees of a score 1400+ *if* starting baseline is 1200+. (PSAT or previous SAT score)
It runs Nov-March. So quite a bit longer than a typical 6-week prep course.
Anyone ever enrolled in this program? Was it a positive experience?
This course is NOT cheap, but the backing of a guarantee is pretty reassuring.
I"ve known kids locally who have engaged in various prep courses (self-study, live online, traditional classroom, private tutor, etc) and didn't really improve scores appreciably. Do you get what you pay for? well, of course not, really. If the kid is willing to put in the work, then they *should* improve.
But that guarantee is still reassuring....
Others out there:
Kaplan (60% less $$$)
Kahn Academy (free!)
Any advice?
DD is a very good student, and did self-prep for the pSAT.
I'm thinking it would be smart to get her pro-guided study for the SAT.
Thanks!
