Anyone can improve their score. I used to teach this and improved my class an average of 200+ pts per person. Try the Princeton review or just pick up the booklet and commit yourself to doing the work in it. Asking Korean school to improve your English is pretty idiotic.Any school, work, or tutor will improve your score by virtue of simple practice. Get a book called WordSmart and the Idiot's Guide to Grammar if you want to work from home. Princeton Review is the best for SAT 1 prep.

Yeah i did no longer take an ACT prep classification yet I controlled to get a solid score. even nonetheless I studied my butt off with the aid of myself with a impressive style of ACT prep books and prepare tests. So in case you study properly with the aid of your self and could make your individual schedules and save to them, you would be superb with out one. yet once you're a slacker and you're slightly scatterbrained, and you want the inducement/stress from friends and a instructor take an ACT prep classification. however the score nevertheless reflects on how lots you your self positioned into examining for the ACT. you should nevertheless take one yet you should slack off you understand, or replica solutions from the returned of the e book and stuff. An ACT prep classification is punctiliously well worth it in case you're prepared to artwork perplexing and do what the instructor says.

the classes are not worth it and they are too expensive. the College Board are thieves.
