I myself did not take any SAT prep courses, so I can't disagree. My point was that some small tricks do exist, and most test takers are not aware of them. Knowing those tricks will give you a slight advantage.
For me, those prep courses would likely be a poor value. However, I likely am not in the demographic who would benefit most from them. There are plenty of people out there who haven't learned how to learn from a book, and so having someone teach them will result in better scores. I would have thought such people will likely struggle in college, yet my grad school had quite a few of them. I guess they found a way to compensate.
The trick I mentioned was not in the official SAT book.
