Shopping List: SAT Prep

Let's be honest with each other. It's hard to do well on a test like the SAT without a lot of preparation. That usually means hours of practice tests, studying vocabulary, doing math drills, and writing practice essays.

Most of the resources on our site are free, but some, like the ones below, are affordably priced resources to help your student do his or her best. While it is not necessary to purchase test-prep materials, for a test like the SAT, I would strongly recommend buying one of the below books. (Fortunately, some of them can be found at your local library for free!)

College Board Official SAT Practice materials, including an online course, the Official SAT Study Guide, the Official SAT Study Guide with a DVD, and an Official Study Guide for all SAT Subject Tests: http://sat.collegeboard.org/sat-store

Applerouth SAT and ACT Prep materials: https://www.applerouth.com/materials/

Princeton Review Books: http://www.randomhouse.com/princetonreview/college/sat/

Princeton Review Online Class: http://www.princetonreview.com/college/online-sat-test-prep.aspx

SAT Prep Black Book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BS1FT9M/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00BS1FT9M&linkCode=as2&tag=satprepblackbookcom-20

I personally used both the Applerouth and College Board Official books to raise my score 90 points.

However, if you can't afford SAT prep books or classes, it's understandable. A lot of free resources are available online to students for absolutely no cost. Search our blog under the SAT tag and keep coming back to check out the new resources we'll be adding from time to time.
