Hi, I can only provide my opinion, without knowing more about you.

If the question is can Kaplan help to improve your SAT score the answer is yes it can.

That's going to be true for just about any reputable SAT Test Prep Program. You do understand that there's also no guarantee that it will increase by X points. So there's no telling whether you'll improve by 10 points or 200.

So before you decide to plunk down $1000 you need to ask your self some questions:

1. Is this the best use of your money & your time?
2. What alternative Test prep options are there
3. Can you comfortably make the required time committment
4. What are your and your parents expectations
5. How much pressure do you feel you're under
6. Can you self study
7. Are you disciplined
8. Are you determined to do what it takes to improve your score

I certainly don't mean to be preachy, I just want you to have a clear picture of what you want and then help provide you with the best fit for you to reach your goals.

I've been an SAT & College Admissions Coach and have helped numerous high school students find the best solution for their particular situation. Many of them like you are not pleased with their SAT score and want to improve it, many are desperate to do so.

The good news is you can and it's not as hard as you or your parents probably think it is.

If you'd like please send me an email and I'll be glad to answer your questions and provide you with some guidance.

There's no catch, it's free.

Good luck!
