What is the best SAT prep center?

Which center to take my SAT in?

• Alright, as I am registering for the June SAT, I have a choice of many different schools/centers to take it in. However, I have narrowed it down to two schools which are closest to me (both are same distance from my house). School #1 is a very ghetto school with very bad kids in it, and in a bad neighborhood. BUT it is on a saturday morning, and I figure not many of the bad kids will be taking the SAT anyway. I took it here last October and I did ok. School #2 is a not so ghetto school, but not so smart either. It is an average kind of a school but alot of my friends go there (the group of my friends who I usually feel I have to act tough around, and who I usually hang out in the bowling alley and park at night with and stuff). Since I only took one SAT before, in october, and it was in the ghetto school, I have no way of knowing if it will be different here. Then I realize, the test is an individual process. Which place do you think I should take my SAT?

• Answer:

  Campus matters more than students who attend school during school day. I like taking the SAT at the ritzier private schools, because they have AC/heating, comfortable chairs, carpeted floors, proctors that kind of know what they're doing, and cleaner bathrooms. The best public school in the area (it is a magnet elitist school) has a terrible campus. They had a kid faint halfway through the SAT because it was a burning hot day, the proctor shut out all the windows, and the room turned into a tropical greenhouse. Many of the chairs are broken, the desks are from the 60s, and there's no AC. So go to the one with a nicer campus.
