How to get a great score w/o tutoring

<p>Practically all the kids around here who have the highest scores get tutored at some institution. What do you guys think? Is there a way to get to that same level with indenpedant studying?</p>

<p>really the only thing these “tutoring” programs do is give you practice tests. basically just do the blue book tests and increase your vocabulary using direct hits or any other vocab book.</p>

<p>Really? From my experience here, it seems that most of the high scorers studied on their own. I think there are few tutoring services that really push you to achieve 2200+, most of the courses are intended to teach those with low motivation or no discipline to study by themselves.</p>
