Online SAT prep courses - what's best?

Hi there! I'm starting to prepare for the SAT and I'm wondering about the best online prep courses available. Could you please share your recommendations or experiences with different SAT prep courses?

Hi! There are quite a few online SAT prep courses out there, and it's essential to find one that matches your learning style and budget. Here are three popular options to consider:

1. Khan Academy: Khan Academy has partnered with the College Board to provide free, high-quality SAT prep resources. The platform provides personalized practice, thousands of practice questions, video lessons, and full-length practice tests. A great option for those on a tight budget, but it can be less interactive than other courses.

2. Magoosh: Magoosh is an affordable, self-paced online SAT prep course which features engaging video lessons, quizzes, and practice exams. Magoosh offers a guarantee of a 100-point improvement in your SAT score and has a variety of pricing options, including a monthly subscription.

3. CollegeVine: While not a prep course, CollegeVine's blog contains a range of posts offering guidance on how to boost your performance on the SAT, which are all available for free. You can find one such post here: https://blog.collegevine.com/10-tips-to-improve-your-sat-score

When evaluating the best SAT prep course for you, think about factors such as cost, interactivity, and the availability of diagnostic tools to help you target your weak areas. Regardless of which one(s) you choose, stay consistent with your SAT practice, and don't forget to take advantage of other resources, like the College Board's full-length practice tests, to track your progress.

Good luck!
