Hey folks, I'm starting to prep for the SAT pretty soon and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for online resources? I'm more of a self-studier so any sort of websites, apps, or online tools that have worked for you would be solid. Thanks guys!
Definitely, there are numerous resources online that can assist you in SAT prep.
1. Khan Academy: This is essentially the baseline for SAT online preparation, and it's entirely free! They have partnered with the College Board (the organization that administers the SAT) to provide tailored practice based on your performance on past SATs or PSATs. They also offer full practice tests and problem-specific video tutorials to help with concepts you may be struggling with.
2. College Board: Speaking of the College Board, they themselves offer a great array of resources. Full-length official practice tests are available on their website, which can give you an accurate idea of what to expect on test day. They also have question of the day features which can be a fun way to consistently engage with SAT content.
3. CollegeVine: The question breakdowns for SAT available on CollegeVine's website are very helpful. They analyze each question from College Board's practice tests and give step-by-step solutions.
4. UWorld: While not free, many find value in it. UWorld has a question bank with explanations that can be useful in understanding why certain answers are wrong and right. This resource is particularly useful for math prep.
5. The Bluebook™ app: Now that the SAT is fully digital, this app is an absolute must-have. It allows you to practice the digital SAT format, which can help increase your comfort level when taking the digital test.
Remember, the key is to find a study method that works for you and stick to it. Regular practice, review, and tracking your progress over time will be the most beneficial. Run through practice questions, revise the sections where you're not scoring as high, and take timed practice tests to get a feel of the exam environment. Best of luck in your preparation!
