If you want to raise your SAT score while sticking to a budget, you can find the best free SAT prep resources below.

The College Board is a nonprofit organization that administers the SAT. The group provides official need-to-know information, including registration deadlines and a checklist of items you should bring with you the day of the exam.

You can find several resources on the College Board's website to help you prepare for the exam. The group publishes free sample questions and free SAT practice tests so you can simulate the real deal. Practice tests come with detailed answer keys, which give you insight into how the SAT is scored.

You can also join an SAT study group and follow the College Board's sample 16-week study plan.

Khan Academy provides several free online resources for students in many courses and subjects. The College Board also partners with the organization to offer free SAT practice tests, personalized to every student. Students can work through eight exams on Khan's website, receiving immediate feedback on their progress.

You might know The Princeton Review as the organization that publishes test prep books, but this company also publishes several free SAT resources on its website. You can take a free SAT practice test online and receive comprehensive feedback. You can also participate in free online courses.

If you can't find the time to take the full practice test, you can still practice your skills with Kaplan's question of the day and its 12-question, 20-minute exam "workout."

If you're looking for an SAT study guide, PrepScholar publishes a comprehensive online program. The guide starts with the basics, answering questions like "What is the SAT?" and "What are the four sections of the exam?"

After covering the foundational components, the study guide explores each SAT section in depth and breaks down the score range and SAT percentiles. If you don't know where to begin with your studying, PrepScholar offers templates on how to create a study plan for yourself.

You can also get down to the nitty-gritty by studying common SAT vocabulary words, math formulas, and basic grammar rules.
