Hey everyone, what are some of the best online resources you've used for SAT prep? I'd really appreciate advice on coursework, quizzes, practice tests, etc. that have personally worked for you.
One resource that many students find very useful is Khan Academy. They have partnered directly with College Board (the organization that creates and administers the SAT) to provide free SAT prep material. There, you'll find a series of individualized practice exercises, instructional videos, full-length practice tests, and even articles on SAT strategies.
Another notable platform is College Board's own website where they have several full-length practice tests available for free. These are actual SAT exams from prior years, which makes them a valuable resource for real practice. The website also provides answer explanations.
The Princeton Review and Kaplan also provide online courses for a fee that includes lessons, practice questions, strategies, and often, a number of practice tests. Additionally, these programs sometimes include access to tutors or live online instruction. Keep in mind that the strategies provided by these programs often align best with their own practice exams and may not directly align with certain tricky questions you may encounter on the real SAT.
Remember that the most effective preparation method will depend on your personal learning style, strengths, and weaknesses. You should first take a diagnostic practice test to evaluate your starting point before using these resources. That will help you focus your studying on the specific areas in which you need to improve. Good luck!
