And in general, SAT prep courses give you higher scores towards the end of the course and lower scores at the beginning, to show improvement. They give a really hard first exams, but then give you there easy ones so that you feel that you get better.



Definitely true! But in my prep class last year, they kinda screwed up. The second to the last test was easy and people did well on it(I got 2030), but the last one was the hardest ever(I got 1600, a 400 point drop). My teacher was like “on crap, this should have been the first test!” It turned out that the test itself wasn’t hard. It’s just that the prep company use the wrong answer key for some tests just to show that you suck at the beginning. After arguing with the teacher, I got more than 400 points back…
Prep companies are evil :(
