I’m a sophomore and I want to start studying for the SATs. What courses and books are the best and will assist me in getting a 2100+?
Hi! So, the first question to think about here is, are you an independent learner or someone who’s going to need 1 on 1 help & motivation. I invested in a lot of prep books (I will list them all below for you), however it’s not necessary. It just depends if you’re willing to spend the money on them and make a commitment to work in all of them. Different websites offer online courses, and then of course if you google tutoring places near where you live you could attend in person. I made out fine with self-studying, however I am going to take a small weekend prep class to try to get a 2400. Best of luck!
