The Best Math Tests
MajorTests SAT Prep: No registration, 249
Critical Reading, 132 Writing, 240 Math. This easy-to-use site has a
plethora of online tests that are divided by category. Quizzes are
automatically graded, and you can view detailed explanations for
problems you missed. Even more incredible are the segmented lists of
1400+ vocabulary words that can be viewed online or in PDF. I cannot
find anything wrong with this superb resource for short SAT
quizzes.
4Tests Practice SAT Exam: No registration, 67
math questions and 50 critical reading questions. Tests are easy to
take, and the answers with explanations can be reviewed either after
completing a question or finishing the whole test. The site is heavily
ad-supported, and there are many pop-up ads that may prove quite
distracting. Exams may be saved or continued with the creation of an
account. This is a decent site for math and critical reading practice
since it's so easy to use and there's a good amount of questions, but
make sure you have a pop-up blocker or a lot of patience.
OnlineMathLearning Free SAT Practice
Test: Active e-mail required for 16 Math questions, no
registration for other 10 Math questions. Submit your e-mail for a
practice test of 16 math questions. They mail you a small PDF file with
the questions and a few ads. If you confirm your email, the site will
send you a solutions guide. I received mine 2 or 3 days after I got the
test. The 10 Geometry questions have solutions, but it's barely worth
your time. The one thing this site does have is a bunch of past SAT
Essay prompts at the bottom of the page here.
Even though it's called OnlineMathLearning, its math is not too
impressive. I would stick to the essays.
Number2
Free Online Test Prep: Short registration, 40 Critical Reading,
20 Writing, 80 Math. These questions are given individually without a
timer. If you answer a question incorrectly, the site gives you a hint
and sends you back for another guess. This can be slightly frustrating
at times, particularly on a math grid-in where you can get stuck on a
question for a long time if you can't figure it out. Once you answer it
correctly, the site gives you an explanation. A decently-sized guide
accompanies each section. While this site truly intends well, the
inability to skip or get around any difficult grid-in problems limits
Number2's usefulness for those not strong in math.
Barron's Practice Test Demo: Requires
registration, 10 Math, 5 Critical Reading, 5 Writing. The questions are
good, the website is easy to use, and the test has an optional timer.
Explanations are included, but with only 20 free questions, there's not
too much substance here.
Algebra SAT Preparation: No registration, 16
Critical Reading and 50 Math. The only really interesting part about
this resource is that it has all of the words linked to Webster's Online
Dictionary. This is rather useful on the Critical Reading when you do
not know what a word means. However, it's simply annoying on the math
section where vocabulary is not an issue. There are no explanations for
the answers, which limits the usefulness of this website.
College PowerPrep Registration Form: Even though
no account is required, this website is difficult to use and is very
outdated. It offers its free practice test via a free program download
that you must install. It only takes a few moments to download,but it
only contains 4 sections- 2 math, and 2 english. It is based off old
exams, which means its english sections contain analogies and critical
reading. Analogies are no longer on the SAT, so their utility is limited
in vocabulary-building. The math sections are decent, with 46 total
problems. The program offers no answers or explanations, and it instead
displays broad topics of recommended improvement. Even with its included
timer, this download is too clunky and old to be too
effective.
SATExamPrep Free SAT Test Prep Study:
Registration necessary, 48 Critical Reading, 5 Writing, 55 Math.
Registering for this site was pretty difficult- to register, you must
click "Get Started" under the writing section, not the math. The website
is dysfunctional, and displays annoying question marks instead of
characters like parenthesis or apostrophes. Any quiz you take will not
be graded, and you will never know how many you answered correctly.
Needless to say, there's no explanations for questions you miss. This
may be decent resource in the future when the owner decides to maintain
it, but as for now, stay away.
