Question

Which online SAT course is better? collegeboard or princeton review? and why?

Answer 1

non of the above because i have not tried any before

Answer 2

OF those two choices, The Princeton Review is FAR, FAR, FAR better.  The only thing that College Board is good at is practice tests (which are quite good b/c they are the administrators of the SAT) while The Princeton Review offers strategies and tips to take the SAT.  College Board offers a dry run through real test questions and while TPR does a good job of simulating those questions, they are still not written by the actual test writers.  I have found that the "general" advice that the College Board gives is not real strategy and is akin to your math or english teacher talking to you.  Whereas the The Princeton Review is written more with a tilt towards taking the test and in an interesting manner.

Another option (that's free) is Peterson's.  They have a website called MyStudentEdge.com which has test preparation courses (as well as practice tests) in it.  If you're looking online, I think they have the best one going as the course actually molds itself to the individual.  All other test prep classes treat everyone as a middle of the road, average student, while Peterson's makes the student take diagnostic test and builds the course around them.  It's free so it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Good luck with whatever road you take!
