free sat practice

This might be our most epic link post ever. Here are 20+ SAT practice tests…for FREE. Yes, you read that correctly, for free. We’ve raided our personal archive (that we’ve been keeping for years), searched online extensively, and scoured test prep makers websites to bring one source of free SAT practice tests to you. Bookmark this page!

Before you check out all of the tests, here are a few things you need to know:

1. These tests are for the version of the SAT after January 2016.

The SAT changed in January 2016, so we have updated this list of tests. Lots are from the best College Board tests released. Others are from solid test prep providers.

2. These tests are full length and include 4 sections.

The official SAT has 4 sections: reading, writing, math (calculator), math (no calculator). If you find tests online without these sections, they aren’t the best free SAT practice resources.

3. There are paper and computer based practice tests in this mix.

Computer tests are good for analysis of your answers, test taking strategies, and timing. However, the real SAT is PAPER. You’ve got to work some paper exams. You can use the paper exams in 2 ways. The first way to be used early in your practice is to put the PDF on your computer or tablet and work the problems on a sheet of paper (this way saves paper). At some point later in your studying, you should print one or two tests and work the problems directly on the test. This is how it will be on test day and you have to get used to it.

4. Learn the right way to use practice tests.

  • Time yourself
  • Do them in 1 sitting (not over several days)
  • Answer all the questions
  • Rework any incorrect answers completely

CrackSAT.net Free SAT Practice Tests

We stumbled on this insanely shady but possibly awesome SAT test repository. It features scanned copies of the College Board Official Guide tests (8 in all), College Board online SAT course tests, and previous actual administered SATs. While the College Board OG stuff is legit, we don’t know about the rest.

The files will come up in your Google Drive so we recommend using them this way rather than downloading them to your computer (they may have viruses). If you choose to use tests from the section that says Real SAT Tests Pdf Download (we have no idea how they would have gotten these), use the exams starting from March 2005. The other tests before this date are based on the old, old SAT and are not the right format.

If you use this site, you will have access to another 49 tests! There are likely to be a lot of bad scans and test question repeats in the bunch, so the questions are worth looking through but not necessarily doing as a major part of your studying.
