The Best Full SAT Tests -
Continued
Princeton Review Free SAT Practice
Test: Registration necessary, 1 full SAT practice test. The test
is not too hard to find, although the website is slightly difficult to
navigate. The test is titled "New SAT Online Diagnostic," and do not
take the "Obsolete Test" since they are identical. The test is simple to
take, and you have the option of whether or not to use the timer. The
test can be paused at any time. The site grades the test and gives
analysis on specific subjects and topics. The only major downside is the
lack of sample essays. Questions can be reviewed by going to a section
and clicking on the question. For answer explanations, click the
question-mark icon to the right. Princeton Review has a great practice
test, but you have to pay for anything more.
Kaplan Free Online SAT Practice
Test: Pretty long registration, full SAT test. The test is a PDF
download, 54 pages and 1.6MB. You will have to decide whether to print
the document or view the test on the computer and write down answers by
hand. The questions look and feel like Collegeboard, so it's good
practice. Once done, you can enter your scores online to grade the test
ONLY if your account has been activated more than 24 - 48 hours. If not,
you can download the answers which will take much more time to grade.
Along with the answers come explanations, which are very detailed.
Unique to Kaplan is an "essay grader" that asks you several questions
about your essay and gives you an approximate score. I would not trust
it too much, but I filled it out honestly and it predicted the same
score I got on the real SAT, so it's not too bad. This is a great
resource, especially if you register 2 days before you take the test,
but the 2 day wait for online scoring and analysis is a serious
drawback.
Peterson's Free Practice Test for the
SAT: Registration required, 1 full SAT. This SAT is entirely
online, and it includes a timer and pause features. The test takes under
a minute to load, and has a simple interface. Since it displays
questions individually, each question takes a second or two to display,
which can be annoying when fighting the clock. After finishing the
sections, the test is automatically graded, and you can go back and
review the explanations for the questions you missed, again one at a
time. You can view two sample essays and assign yourself a score.
Peterson's free SAT is a good resource if you do not mind clicking
through the test question by question.
SparkNotes: Mini SAT: Test Center: Short
registration required. 1 mini-SAT and 1 full SAT. The mini-test is 30
questions,the full SAT includes an essay, and both are very easy to use.
It is all online, and it incorporates a timer. Both can be paused at any
time. Questions can be marked for review later or tagged if your answer
is a guess. At the end, you can review wrong answers and read their
explanations. The full SAT includes an in-depth analysis, which gives
statistics on the test, like areas needing review or percentage of
guesses that were correct. Your first full SAT should be free, but some
links to it make you pay for it. You can use it free, just try a
few times. Finally, SparkNotes offers a free online book here,
and you do not have to register to read it. The tests are really
incredible, but the website can be a little difficult to navigate
without paying.
eNotes Free SAT Practice Test: Registration
required, full SAT test. Registering this test is a little strange and
takes a minute or two, but is fairly easy. The test opens in a new
window and is timed. The test, however, has a few bugs. The same test is
online in a Google Books excerpt here,
so if there are any problems, double-check the book. Or just use the
Google Books version. Still, most of the eNotes test is error-free, and
eNotes may resolve these issues. The test can be paused at any time, and
there are very brief explanations for wrong answers. So, if you can
stand the occasional error, eNotes has a good test.
Wikipedia
Test: No registration, 1 full SAT test. This test doesn't
quite match Wikipedia's high standards. It is fairly hard to read
and lacks any sort of answer key. It's fair practice, but don't
expect to learn much from it.
