<p>I took the SAT in June and got a dissapointing 1860. I’m aiming for at least a 2100. I pretty much self-prepped for that which I think explains my score. I just dont think im motivated enough to self study. I’m taking them again in October.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken Princeton Review and/or Testtaker’s classes? </p>
<p>I plan to do one of these in conjunction with Gruber’s, the Blue Book, and perhaps number2.com or collegeboard’s online service. </p>
<p>Given that I dont have much time before I send in college apps, do you think it would make sense to start studying for the ACT?</p>
<p>Well, I joined Kapplan’s, and I found it wasn’t really helpful if you’re aiming for anything over 2000.</p>
<p>They TEACH the content, and make you practise. That can only take you so far. You have to be self-motivated, and make an effort for a really high score. It takes real dedication to improve your skill after a certain level.</p>
<p>I would recommend improving your vocabulary and math speed. I’d also recommend doing ALL the Barron’s and Blue Book tests.</p>
<p>A good vocabulary pretty much guarantees a high score in Reading and Writing, and if you ask me, all the Math sections can actually be completed a few minutes before time.</p>
