<p>I am a rising sophomore. Is this school year a good year to start attending SAT prep courses? Or do most people start going to prep classes next year? I intend to take my SAT’s in the spring of my junior year.</p>
<p>When did you take them? </p>
<p>Don’t take them. Self studying is more efficient unless u have a tutor.</p>
<p>Either get a tutor (expensive and for rich people or asians who have asian parents who are obsessed with a 2400/2400 on the SAT) or spend money on some books.</p>
<p>Math: Chung’s sat math
CR: Vocab - Direct Hits Volume 1 and 2 , Passage Questions - ? (i’m trying to find a good book atm)
Writing - Erica Meltzer’s Ultimate Guide to SAT. This is the golden book for the MC questions. I went from a 490 to a 750-790 in just 10 days. 7 of which were productive. </p>
<p>And get the official guide aka the Blue Book and get the official online course (from amazon where it is cheap).</p>
<p>Seriously, don’t get classes. Big waste of money and that money is better spent on a tutor. Classes teach from the book anyways and if its a Princeton Review class, well, PR books =/= The official Blue book.</p>
