<p>As far as I know, most metropolitan areas in Korea (especially Seoul, Busan, Daejon, etc.) have a plethora of SAT prepping hongwons. In fact, I’ve even heard of Korean-Americans going to Korea for the summer to stay with relatives and go to SAT hongwons.</p>
<p>If you’re in California, I would definitely recommend Elite and TestMasters (the rigor of both is key to their successful results).</p>
<p>As for Korea, on the other hand, try contacting some (I’m assuming your Korean, by the way) of your other friends studying in US universities. I’m sure at least a few of them personally took SAT hongwons or know people at their current institutions that have gone to SAT hongwons.
Also: <a href=“http://www.elit**********/sub/locations.php%5B/url%5D”>http://www.elit**********/sub/locations.php</a> Elite SAT prep has locations in S. Korea as well!</p>
<p>While most people on this site like to almost idiotically keep worshiping the BB (which is a great study guide indeed), I do believe the routine practice hongwons force you to undergo followed by intensive review may be best for those without the militaristic drive to study hours on their own with no ‘immediate’ gratification.</p>
