I teach SAT prep classes. They work, and if you're just mindlessly doing SAT problems, you're instructor is a dipshit. You've got to learn how they make the test, then you can understand how to identify wrong answers.

wanna come be my teacher?

for english, the teacher gives us handouts that are scans out of the book we paid $20 for, and he makes us do them, then tells us the answer

for math, he has us do the questions in the book, and then goes over how to do it. then he tells us what ranking the question is (easy, medium, hard), and says we should skip it if its hard.

All my ap and sat study books say to skip the hard ones you don't know and come back to them if you have time. You shouldn't spend 10 minutes on a hard question and then not even get a chance to look at the easy ones that might be last.
I'm taking the sat in like a month but I don't ever feel like using my study guide for it though. I would rather look through my chem study guide even though I'm not taking chem right now just because I think its fun.

Unless you're getting 90% of those "easy" or "medium" questions right, dont even do the last third of the math sections (the hard problems). The test is more about accuracy (since wrong answers can KILL your score) than attempts. Also, unless you're scoring at least a 700, you should be leaving problems blank. Its weird, and hard, but doing that forces you to go back and retry the problems that you can get with a little more time rather than getting stumped or tricked on truly nasty problems. I really wish I could help you guys more, but yeah, you'd need to be in my class.

SAT classes suck nuts. maybe itd be better in Rowens class, but my class is really boring. I already took them, but my parents want me to improve my score even though my sats are good enough for most of the colleges im looking at. I only really need help on the writing section cause thats my worst.
