You’ll want to think about taking the SAT in the spring of your Junior year or fall of your Senior year. (Many students take it both times, and then choose the best scores to send to their prospective colleges and universities.) The SAT covers your knowledge of reading, writing and math — and how well you are able to apply what you know. It can be a good tool to help you focus your choices on those colleges where you will be most successful in reaching your personal goals.
The above linked site has so much more to it than just the place to register for the College Board exams. There are practice tests, individualized study plans, help interrupting the scores and how to choose which scores to send… it’s a treasure-trove of information!
The SAT is Teaming Up with Khan Academy
The College Board is joining forces with Khan Academy to provide free SAT practice programs and resources to all students. Khan Academy and the College Board will work together continuously to ensure that practice materials are of the highest quality and focus on the work that matters most. And they will train tutors, counselors, mentors, and others to help students take full advantage of all resources.
These dynamic, interactive study tools launch in early June 2015; they can be utilized for PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 practice because of the exams’ tight alignment with the SAT. Learn more about our partnership with Khan Academy on its website.
It’s true that when you visit the College Board website, you’ll see a practice Question Of The Day, practice sessions, and even a practice exam. But there are other fun and valuable sites to that help prepare you for the SATs, as well.
