Best practice questions are the official ones, which you can find in the official SAT study guide: https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2020/dp/1457312190

After that, you got khan academy questions. After that, you got test prep company questions (Barron’s, Kaplan, etc)

The "Blue Book" is here. You can't legally download it. Most of the content consists of the current set of official practice tests; you can find those here.

Sure! I used Khan Academy, Erica Meltzer's Critical Reader guide to the SAT reading, College Panda's writing and Math books, as well as a little bit of UWorld (if you are not in a position to buy or can't afford UWorld, then try crackSAT, they have good examples of SAT reading passages but you lose some features like highlighting)

I always struggled in reading and Erica Meltzer's guide did help me understand the reading section of the SAT a lot better. It's about 300 pages long, but it's filled with great examples and teaches you about the thought process of breaking down the questions.

For College Panda, I was always strong in Math so it did not help me too much, but it was definitely good for practicing and refreshing my memory on problems. The writing book was also good, but I had already been familiar with grammar as well. However, just like the math, it serves as a good refresher and can teach you the topics well.

Khan Academy is my favorite resource because they have so many practice problems especially for math and give great explanations. For writing they have excellent problems that teach you the grammar rules. The only downside is that once you get to level 4 for the reading and writing passages, you may find yourself running out of passages as they are all the same. That's when someone eventually moves onto crackSAT or UWorld.

UWorld is another great resource; however, it is $49 so I understand if some may not prefer to buy it. But if you can then here's how it was for me. I used it a lot for reading and writing, and it was also super great because it gave me more passages to practice on. I did find their reading passages to sometimes be a little bit harder than khan academy's, but they were still great for preparing me for the SAT. The writing passages were also great and I used them for practice as well. I didn't use it for Math because I felt that Khan Academy was good enough, and I hadn't needed to improve much on it because I knew all the topics covered and the only mistakes I was making were not reading the question or messing up the math, which didn't happen often.

I used crackSAT once, but that was it. I have seen a mixed review of it from some people. It is a rather ugly interface, but if you can ignore that and learn from it then it's a great resource to use as well.

for my superscore I ended up getting a 710 on R&W and a 790 on Math, and I was able to practice using the SAT practice tests on Khan Academy. I recommend buying the book filled with the tests because it's even more like the real test, where you learn to fill in bubbles and underline text instead of using it on a computer. You can get it here relatively cheap, it's filled with i think 8 practice tests so spread them out evenly if you have enough time to. And start from practice test 10 and go down from there because Practice tests 10 through 5 were officially administered tests that the College Board gave so they will give you the most accurate results. Other than that though, that's all I can provide you with and all I used.

Tip: When you are studying don't just skip past questions you get wrong. Go over the explanations and understood where your approach was wrong and how you can do it correctly next time. I recommend taking a picture or writing the question down and practicing it every day until you no longer get it wrong.

I know this was rather long, but this is what I used and how i was able to improve my score! I hope you can use this to the best of your ability and good luck!

Hope the wait wasn't too long! Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Step 1: Take a Practice Test. If you want it completely free then Khan Academy. The real test is on paper though, so if you want that then you can either print it for free from the College Board Website, or you can buy an Official Book of Practice Tests. Just make sure that all practice tests you use are from the College Board/Khan Academy

Step 2: Go through the test you took and study each problem. Especially focus on the ones you got wrong. Figure out how to do the problems you don't yet understand.

Step 3: Your choice - either repeat steps 1 and 2 with new practice tests - or - buy a reputable practice book or two, the College Panda Math Book, the Meltzer Reading Book are just some of your options, read through this sub and you'll find some other good recommendations - or - focus on Khan Academy Practice or UWorld SAT prep - or do a combination of any/all of the above

On this book you mean? : https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2020/dp/1457312190

I did the worst on test 5 (1460), but it was also the first practice test I took. I did the best on test 10 (1560) which I took right after (I think I got lucky).

The best way is to buy the official practice test book from the college board on amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2020/dp/1457312190

use collegeboard's official tests. you can find them online on khan academy, or their website for pdfs you can print, or purchase one of these books for already printed tests if its cheaper to buy a book of it than print it all.

if you can, doing it on paper would be most accurate. that being said, there's no issue with taking it online if you can't do it on paper.

I've done 2500+ questions on Khan Academy (almost at milestone 10 & 250k energy points), and I'm starting to see repeat questions more frequently, but as for most, I have never seen.

In addition, almost all the practice problems I've done have been in math. In reading & writing, I've yet to see a repeat question or passage.

I can give you an exact number of hours, but it will definitely be a while. In addition, they offer 8 full practice tests. Combine those with the ones in the phat SAT book: https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2020/dp/1457312190

and it's going to be quite hard to exhaust all the material.

Khan Academy is a great resource for practice problems: https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/practice/math.
- Thousands of SAT questions for all sections.
- Partnership with College Board, so their problems are actually like what you'll see on test day.
- Timed-mini sections (10 questions) with similar time ratios to actual tests.
- Personalized study content based on your College Board examination history and past mistakes (on KA).
The official SAT Practice Book is great: https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2020/dp/1457312190. It contains 8 practice tests. I've done 5 so far, and I plan to do all of them. Practice tests are the best way to improve your score.
Ask a question here on reddit, or other places if you aren't sure why you got something wrong. (College Board answer explanations suck and use circular logic)

He's my tip, I'm a teacher but due to weird state requirements, I had to retake the SAT (after 30 years) when I went into teaching 2 years ago (it was removed as a requirement 3 months later).

Get this Official SAT book https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2020/dp/1457312190/ and download the app and take one of the sample tests (I think there are 8) and you can immediately grade it by taking a photo of it with the app.

But first, here's my suggestion:

Figure out a way to mark a problem as easy/hard/took too long.
Take it and time yourself for each section (and mark each problem).
BUT when you run out of time on a section, mark what you've done so far and KEEP answering questions until completely done with that section.
Then score it with the app.
Now you can see where you are time and knowledge-wise.

I did keep a timer going so I could go faster/slower (at halfway through the time, if I was or wasn't halfway done, I could speed up or slow down).

Now if you:

scored great and beat the time, you know where you stand.
scored low and beat the time, you know you need a little or a LOT of practice
scored great and did not beat the time, you know you need practice answering faster.
scored poor and took too long, then you need lots of studying and lots of practice.

You can also factor in the 'easy/hard/took too long' notes you made to see how they correlate with what's right and wrong, to figure out specific subjects you need help with.

The book will help you figure out how to do incorrect problems.

Khan Academy will connect to the SAT site and quiz you on what you got wrong (which is great). They also have some practice tests on-line, but I don't know if they will let you continue to answer after the test is over and I consider it very IMPORTANT to know what you would score with extra time, it lets you know if you even know the answers.

I had a friend who could do all the math, but she took WAY too long do the problems, so she wasn't scoring high on the practices so she thought she didn't know it (when it was really a speed issue [and knowing it better for speed]).

Answering some questions can come down to some elimination. If you have a problem like 1,07*9* times 91*7* (a little above 1,000 and a little below 1,000) and none of the answers are close to a million (1,000 x 1,000), you could have estimated that or if only one of the answers ends in a 3 (9*7=6*3*) then you can do some educated guessing.

You can download a sample SAT test PDF here but I can't promise that the app will grade it as it's a couple year old link.

Get the official Collegeboard SAT study guide with 8 practice tests and online tests. The practice tests are very helpful and the more you practice the more you do better. If your parents can cough up a fair amount of cash for SAT test prep classes with a tutor, I would recommend it. The prices vary but the average amount will be several hundred.
