From 520 to 700

I was highly satisfied with my Princeton Review experience. I am horrible at self-guided studying, so I decided to take the online class. I lucked out on the first day when no one but the instructor, the facilitator, and me showed up for the class. Essentially for about $1600 I ended up getting ten weeks of pricate tutoring. The guys were great teachers who knew what they were doing, but on top of that, they had really great (although sometimes dorky) personalities. I truly enjoyed my experience in the class and was extremely happy to go from scoring 520 on my first to practice tests, to 700 my first time taking the real thing.

I highly reccomend taking advantage of this great class. Do as many problems as possible and ask your instructors tons of questions. I would advise against convincing yourself to take a large chunk of time to study between the conclusion of the class and the actual test. You will not study as much as you'd like to think, and you will end up forgetting some of the neat tricks you learned.
