There is no answer for this question. It depends on you, your self-discipline to evaluate your weakness and planning to overcome, as well as your persistence to stay with a plan. Having taught ACT/SAT test prep, I can offer the following advice
a) take a couple of practice exams, score them, and compile your weaknesses. Then form a plan on those weaknesses. The plan should have a schedule and milestones attached.
b) The SAT test prep books at bookstores are good, IF YOU stay with the plan to utilize them. Again, focus on your weaknesses.
c) The SAT vocab list is well know, make flashcards, use them
d) Work on the essay, get others to score/comment on it. We often here at Jiskha score practice exams for students.
e) You are allowed to take the SAT more than once, do not avoid that option
f) If you have a reading comprehension issue, you may benefit from a private tutor in reading...how to highlight, underline, find key words, phrases. Those are essential skills that can be taught.
g) Stay with your study plan, and revising it based on your progress.
h) on the "professional" courses: if you doubt your ability to make a plan and execute if for self study, they are helpful to a degree, but I do not usually recommend them, nor other crutches for lack of self-evaluation and motivation. But for some folks,they are beneficial: Know and be honest in our self evaluation.
Study to make thyself approved is a good Bible verse to remember.
