To a certain extent I agree that the prep courses are a waste. But in other ways I think they are worthwhile because through their practice exams they track your improvement and also learning. My brother now teaches an SAT prep course and he said that they are worthwhile because they give you the latest tricks in test prep that are crucial in your ability to score high. Self studying is good, but I just feel that without professional help from people who know the test inside and out this ability is limited. My parents also do not want what happened to me in high school to repeat itself so they want me to take a course either way. Which brings me to the question on when I would take? and to follow the Sn2ed schedule its a minimum 3 months so how would I factor these things in while making a tentative schedule as well as doing more ECs to enhance the application.
