SAT

Grid-in questions are problems with no answer choices. You have to solve the problem then enter the answer in a grid. Each test has ten questions and should take 12 minutes. In our tests we allow you to enter up to four digits. You can use any digit from 0 to 9 and you can use a decimal point or a slash (/).

Includes information on essay formats, two sample essays, and practice essay topics.

There are 49 grammar questions on the new SAT writing section. Grammar accounts for over two thirds of the marks on this section. Questions are of 3 types: Identification of sentence errors, Sentence correction (improving sentences), and Editing in context (improving paragraphs).

Reading Comprehension (also known as Critical Reading) questions test your ability to understand a passage and answer question on the basis of what is stated and implied in the passage. You need to read the passage first so that you can identify the main idea of the passage and appreciate features such as the author's tone and attitude as well as the organization of the passage. Scroll back to the relevant point in the text as you do each question. Passages on the New SAT vary in length from short paragraphs that take 3 minutes to read and answer two questions, to ones that take 15 minutes to read and answer 13 questions. One section will contain two related long passages. Mini tests 11 - 14 contain one paragraph reading comprehensions. Be sure to read the directions and the time allowed at the beginning of each of our mini tests. There is no shortcut to improving your critical reading ability. Practice does help - but if you are making too many errors on our mini tests, consult your teacher or just choose some good books and get down to some serious reading.

The SAT exam was updated in March of 2005. The new test is a measure of the critical thinking skills you'll need for academic success in college. The SAT assesses how well you analyze and solve problems—skills you learned in school that you'll need in college. The SAT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors.
