Each of the following resources contains more official, quality SAT practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/ins><\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n On top of full-length practice tests, the College Board website offers a decent number of sample SAT questions for the Reading, Writing, Math, and Essay sections.<\/strong> While some of these questions appear on official practice tests, not all do. Thus, I highly recommend using this resource for extra SAT practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In total, you’ll get the following number of questions for each section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The College Board has partnered with Khan Academy to offer free and official online SAT prep to test takers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the website doesn’t offer a comprehensive prep program<\/a> or any new practice tests (all of the tests here are those on the College Board website), it does<\/em> offer a lot of extra, high-quality SAT practice questions not available elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Khan Academy’s best feature is its tutorial videos, which teach you step by step how to solve and approach specific SAT question types, from Math questions dealing with linear functions to Writing questions focused on parallel structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This official SAT prep book contains 10 old-format SAT practice tests<\/strong> not available online, and is helpful if you’re looking for a massive source of practice material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That being said, remember that the format used here differs considerably from the current version of the SAT. Therefore, I recommend using these practice questions in isolation<\/strong> instead of taking the tests in full. As you go through the book, pinpoint the questions most like those on the current SAT, and then drill them for extra practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sadly, there aren\u2019t a ton of official SAT practice tests available, so if you\u2019re planning 40+ hours of studying, you\u2019ll probably need some supplementary materials. <\/strong>Note that practice materialsnot<\/em> sanctioned by the College Board can vary wildly in quality: some are very similar to the actual SAT, whereas others don\u2019t even share the same basic structure as the test!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve collected the most helpful resources and provided some suggestions on how to get the most out of them in your SAT prep. This list is extensive but not exhaustive<\/strong>\u2014there are a lot of SAT books and tests out there. Be aware, however, that many of them aren\u2019t very high quality, so use your judgment when deciding whether to incorporate something you find into your prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SAT prep books are a good alternative for extra content review and practice. <\/strong>Their questions aren\u2019t always quite right\u2014for example, they might cover material you don\u2019t really need to know or are easier or harder than those on the real SAT\u2014but prep books can be a great resource for both reviewing concepts and trying out different strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve provided some suggestions for general SAT prep books below. These each cost between $10 and $20,<\/strong> but you might be able to find them for free at your local or school library. Just make sure that they aren’t written in before you check them out. Also, note that many of the best SAT books<\/a>cover only one subject, so buying books can get expensive quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barron\u2019s SAT, 29th Edition<\/em> has a lot of in-depth study material that’s particularly helpful for high scorers<\/strong> looking to fine-tune their test-taking strategies and ensure that they know every concept that might appear on the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, the questions (especially those for Reading) tend to be much more difficult than those on the actual SAT,<\/strong> so this prep book isn’t a good choice for students who get easily frustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll get a total of five full-length practice tests<\/strong> (including one diagnostic test) with this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kaplan’s SAT Prep Plus 2020<\/em>, as well as its other SAT prep books, are better for students who need a basic foundation on what to expect on the test and how to approach it. <\/strong>The questions skew easier, so it doesn’t provide great preparation for the more challenging aspects of the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This book is a good place to start if you have a low baseline score and want to increase it by a lot,<\/strong> since it will let you save official tests and more challenging practice for later in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This book offers five full-length SAT practice tests <\/strong>(two in the book and three online).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since these tests are free, they\u2019re often (though not always) of a lower quality than the tests in books.<\/strong> If you really need more free practice materials, stick to using these for untimed content review and don\u2019t worry if something seems weird or unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a high SAT scorer, trying to figure out how the test is different from an official SAT can be a good exercise and will help you understand exactly<\/em> what makes the real thing tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ivy Global offers two free SAT practice tests, which are pretty decent in terms of quality. As you can see in the example below, both tests mimic the style of the official test very closely.<\/strong> Given the scarcity of materials for the current version of the SAT, these practice test PDFs could be a helpful addition to your prep\u2014as long as you keep in mind that neither are official resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This website has a large selection of SAT practice questions divided by type. They’re in the same basic styles as old SAT questions,<\/strong> though the online format is less streamlined than that of the College Board or Khan Academy websites. You can see an example below<\/p>\n\n\n\n These SAT questions are best used sparingly<\/strong>\u2014to test knowledge of math and grammar content and to practice general strategies (such as plugging in answers<\/a> or numbers<\/a>). Keep in mind that they might contain some errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The format on these SAT practice questions isn\u2019t especially accurate,<\/strong> and they sometimes ask about concepts that aren\u2019t tested on the SAT. I generally wouldn\u2019t recommend using them, but you can if you really want more questions to help test your general SAT knowledge. Here’s an example of a question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big test-prep companies, such as The Princeton Review and Kaplan, often offer a free practice test if you register for an account on their website.<\/strong> Sometimes you can even sign up to take the practice SAT at one of their test centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As always, keep in mind that the quality of the practice SAT will vary wildly, and the company might aggressively pitch you their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know where to start compiling the materials you’ll need to prepare for the SAT, let’s discuss how best to use these resources in a study plan<\/strong>.
