I offer a free digital SAT mock test for the Reading and Writing section. I also publish a free mock SAT Reading and Writing question every morning. You can find both at the below link:

The College Board is releasing four more Bluebook tests any day now. They plan to retire current Tests 1, 2, and 3 and retain Tests 4, 5, and 6, so students will have seven official practice tests with which to prepare. These tests can be taken from pdfs or Bluebook. Students can start with pdfs, but, in my experience, they should switch to Bluebook well before their tests to fully use its features and tools. (The Desmos calculator for math is especially helpful.) Yes, you can download the pdfs for current Tests 1, 2, and 3 to have practice material for first tries and more total material to work with.

Just google "SAT Practice Test 1-Digital," etc.

I find the verbal study materials on Khan Academy to be very weak. I'm a linguist and use understandable linguistics to help students nail the verbal modules, which are straightforward. If you decide to engage a coach, I'd recommend looking for something like this.

Any changes to Question Bank?

There is not.


Yeah, unfortunately even Kahn Academy has started routing students to College Board’s Bluebook app for full-length practice tests. But you can still do lots of free prep with KA.


What an idiot. It is not Kahn Academy. It is KHAN Academy. Dude who started this is named SALMAN KHAN, he is a Bangladeshi-Indian American immigrant. He is not a White Christian or Jewish man. He is a desi muslim man.




Thank you. My maiden name is Khan and the number of times I had to deal with my name being misspelled growing up was ridiculous. Especially since I never have actually met someone with the Kahn spelling. While Khan is a very common spelling.

I think I read somewhere that College Board is "Retiring" some of the sample tests - not sure if they already did.

I would recommend downloading those if you can.

When my kid went through this last year, we only had access to the 6 bluebook practice tests. We rationed them and made sure they took all 6 prior to the actual test.

^I think it's mere College Board incompetence. College Board is not ETS and the relationship between these two entities is not the same as it was back in olden times. College Board took a good deal of writing in-house.

The digital test seems a bit inconsistent when it comes to scoring. The standardization process may leave something to be desired here in the early times of the digital version.

All that said, our independent tutor only uses official College Board material, that is, only Bluebook tests.

There's definitely a void of material and it has to be intentional.

When the GMAT went digital only in the late 1990s, you had to purchase software equivalent to today's free Bluebook app. But there was more ETS official material to study.

I can't decide why it's this way - fraud prevention, shortage of validated test questions, and jankiness of the module that shifts students into the higher scoring questions all seem possible.

Some recommend this site. I haven't had my kid start prepping yet so I can't review it.

SAT questions are written in a very specific way that is intended to be tricky so I sense it can be hard for outside companies to mirror that. If they do invest in developing equivalent questions those may not be offered for free. The book my kid used to study said it may harm study SAT studying by using non-CB test questions for practice since a big part of what the student need is to figure out how the CB writes questions.

I have no idea if this is true, but my DD did not look at any practice questions that weren’t offered by the CB and it seemed to work for her.

It seems KA is more focused on the technical content which is their sweet spot, so their test prep question sets will be more focused on that rather than trying to imitate that SAT.

Most of the local public libraries provide access to Brainfuse HelpNow with a library card. They have full length online practice tests, but I don’t know if they have updated to reflect the new SAT.

Princeton Review offers them as part of their prep classes, but you should also get an access code if you buy one of their prep books.
