<p>There is is a lot of good advice on these forums – including the SAT/ACT prep parts of this CC website. Check out this first: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/68210-xiggi-s-sat-prep-advice-47.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/68210-xiggi-s-sat-prep-advice-47.html</a></p>
<p>This talks about how to get your scores up by focusing on practice – BUT, it tells you how to do that. The “Xiggi” method you’ll see from the link above, has 47 pages of posts, and lots of people who swear that it works. It has helped my son, but the key is practice, practice, PRACTICE! As the Xiggi method says, there are 8 practice tests in the “Big Blue Book” (the Official College Board study guide) and if you take all of them you’ll improve your score.</p>
<p>Oh, and the “Kaplan,” “Barron’s,” “Sylvan” courses? That long thread discusses all that too. You can learn a lot just by reading from page 1 to the end.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
