Prepare for the SATs or ACTs with Preparation Courses

GET PREPARED TO TAKE YOUR SATS AND IMPROVE YOUR SAT SCORES

Taking SAT Prep CourseThe SAT test is required for admissions to undergraduate programs of most US universities. Most colleges emphasize the importance of high SAT scores. In fact, it has been shown that students with higher GPAs often lose in the admissions game to students with lower GPAs but higher SAT or ACT scores.

I have gathered a list of SAT Preparation Courses that are available nationwide or online.

    These are very good tools that all high school kids should use to get into colleges. I personally recommend the Princeton Review ACT book.

    Has anyone tried http://www.skoogo.com ?

    Many students do not study for the SATs and you can tell by their test scores. Those that do studied for the SATs tend to score 100-500 points higher than those that do not study for it. My son took the SAT I twice and while he only scored 1400 on the first, he manage to score 1700 the second time by spending an extra 10 hours or so studying for it.

    Great resources and I’m sure it is very useful for those that are planning to study for these tests.

    I am a senior who just graduated high school and found that the SATs are very difficult to get a super high score on. I have used the Princeton Review, it is a very good tool because it gives you many test practices that you can do. To study for the SAT it isn’t like studying for a regular test in math where you just try to remember a few formulas and hopefully derive them correctly on the test. The SAT is based on many different things. For example in math it deals with algebra to trigonometry, therefore you need to make sure your old factoring skills are as fresh as your trig functions. The SATs also test your skills in English also. From writing, grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. To master the SAT you not only need to have a lot of knowledge in math and English, timing is also very important. As you probably already know the SATs are a time based test. They give you from 15-25 minutes on each section ( I can’t remember exactly, but the essay time is a little longer than the rest.) I noticed that even though I know what to do on the problem it just takes longer to do than other. The key thing you have to remember is that the easy problems are worth just as much as the hard ones. My advice to dominate the SATs is to do all the easy ones first then go back to other ones where you can do but just take a bit more time, freshen up on your math skills like factoring and the pascal triangle, and use all your time wisely if you have some spare time go back to make sure your mark the correct bubble or did the problem correct. Good luck on the SAT
