all the courses are generally the same. It depends on what your score is if you want to know whether you need a class. If your score is 1200 or below consistently, take the course. If you are getting 1350+ do not waste money on the course. Thats what I did and it didnt help at all. The classes only cater to students who are below 1300. I took pr and it didnt help me. Thru self study, I went up from a 1300 to a 1550 (in 3 weeks may i add)

actually, I am considering takeing the pr course for the New SAT based on my psat score which was 166. Do you guys thing it would be a good idea for me to take the course?

Yea you should take a course with that score. You have quite a bit of room to improve so the classes should work for you. Just take a practice test before applying for a class to see whether you went up from the time you took the PSATs.
