How effective do you think the Collegeboard Official SAT Online Course is?
I am a junior in high school taking the SAT this march and I have been trying to study by myself to save money. On recent practice tests, I have gotten scores like 1850/1860 and my goal for my first attempt at the SAT is above a 1950 [getting above a 1950 means my parents will let me go on vacation with my friend's family this summer!]. I just enrolled in this online course a couple days ago and I have three weeks to improve my grade. My breakdown was as follows: Critical Reading- Writing- 650 and Math-650. I feel like i should be able to get at least around a 750 in math because I’m in Calculus, so maybe i was just having a bad day. Do you think the Collegeboard Online SAT course will help me or should i do something else? Also, what other ways are good to study at this point? Please take some time to answer. Thank you!

Collegeboard’s very mission statement is to inconvenience you in any way possible. Thus, I’d take anything they declare to be "official" or "certified" with a grain of salt.
At the end of the day, it can only be viewed as a super-big corporation that wants your money.
Most think that the course is excellent./
