I'm helping out a friend promote this new prep school in Manhattan. They are offering free Trials for those interested in the School and if you like the class and decide to take it for 3 months, you will receive free Ipod Touch or Dr. Dre Beats after you pay for the class. The one time free trial is ABSOLUTELY FREE, but everything after that is up to you to decide if you want to take the class or not. So claim your new experience. Maybe It'd get you prep for that 2000 on the SAT or even scholarships.

I take an SAT session every Saturday and because of the strong-arm approach of my tutors there, I've come to think that basically reviewing packets, worskheets, and so forth of questions on reading comprehension or mathematics is perhaps the best way to prepare for the SAT.

While many will complain about the short-sightedness of this approach (perhaps), I do recommend reviewing over key mathematical concepts, reading novels (Victorian, Romantic, and so forth), newspapers, scientific journals, and so forth, as well as making vocabulary sheets or notes on homeworks instead of, say, classes in such topics.

I view this as the more practical way and would suggest that you'd check if the prep school offers this type of course. However, whether or not you succeed is dependent on who you are and how you approach learning. I just prefer having them drilled into me, even though it doesn't account for the four hours that I miss every/most of the Saturdays of this year...

My tutor just taught me some test-taking skills and I managed to do pretty well on the SATs. There's no need to drill so much. Heck, I even asked my tutor about what kind of topics are appropriate for the essay, and he said that you could write about literally anything. You could even make up stories and the SAT scorers wouldn't know... It's really that open-ended.

But... whatever floats your boat I guess. I hate drills.

I went to one this Summer, and i found the math to be harder to grasp then the English. What about you guys?
