Okay, so I'm studying for the SAT and I'm looking for realistic SAT questions to practice with (since I can't take the actual test yet). Can anyone recommend a source with example questions? Preferably something that's proven helpful to you. Any help is appreciated, seriously.
Absolutely! Practicing with realistic SAT questions is a key part of a strong study plan. The College Board, which designs the SAT, provides a number of free practice tests. Since they're developed by the creators of the SAT, they're as close to the real thing as you can get. The questions mirror what you'll encounter on test day, and you'll also get to familiarize yourself with the test format and timing.
Another excellent resource is Khan Academy. They have partnered with the College Board to provide personalized SAT practice, and they also have eight full-length practice tests available for free.
Lastly, don't discount the opportunity to practice with the digital SAT preview on the Bluebook™ app. It will help you get accustomed to the digital format of the test (implemented in Spring 2024), and how to work effectively within the digital interface.
Remember to focus not only on completing practice questions, but also reviewing questions you’ve gotten wrong to understand your mistakes. This approach will help you to continually target and improve your weaknesses. Best of luck with your studying!
