Fab. But does it actually help students with techniques of test or only a set curriculum?

PSAT max is 760.

My DD16 used Khan Academy first (with her mistakes from the PSAT downloaded), then studied with the Princeton Review book to learn about the traps they set and how to avoid them. Also make sure for math, they can use the Desmos calculator quickly. For English, make sure they review all the grammar in the book. My DD improved her PSAT score of 1270 (610 verbal/660 math) to an SAT score of 1430 (730 verbal/710 math) doing only the above over the course of a few weekends.

My DC scored 580 in PSAT English. He wants to know where he can practice English SAT, even paid websites are okay if they are really good. Thank you in advance.
