PRACTICE SECTIONS BREAKDOWN
QUESTION LEVELS
Foundations = Easy
Medium = Medium
Advanced = Hard
For each Question Type (see all 17 below) you’ll get:
An introduction to the question type,
A few practice questions,
A video or two: These are actually pretty good, and will provide a decent substitute for in-class instruction.)
Four practice questions reflecting whatever level you’re on: easy, medium, hard.
NOTE:
The introduction pages and videos ARE THE SAME for each level so you can skip them once you’ve viewed/looked over them once.
Also, the questions will change so you can review each level (easy, medium, hard) several times before any questions might repeat.
THIS IS A GREAT SAT PRACTICE TOOL !
