I took the PSAT my sophomore year without any prep and received a 186 and my parents freaked out about how low my score was. They’re now wanting to enroll me in an 8-week SAT bootcamp class for around $4000 over the summer because they want me to receive a 2300+ score. I think I can just self-study and improve my score for the October SAT, because in my opinion $4000 for an SAT prep class is just ridiculous. My CR score is great because I love reading/writing, but my math is weak. I feel like if I focus on working through math problems from prep books and learning & familiarizing myself with the math topics I’ll be able to improve on my math score.
