Digital SAT Student FAQ: Practice
FAQ
How can I practice for the digital SAT?
Students taking the digital SAT Suite tests will have access to a wide range of free, high-quality test preparation resources:
Sample Test Questions (With Answer Explanations): These questions illustrate the range of skills and knowledge on the digital SAT Suite tests as well as the response formats used (multiple-choice and, for select Math questions, student-produced response).
Full-length Adaptive Digital SAT Practice Test Form: Students can take full-length digital practice tests directly in the digital testing application, allowing them to get the full digital SAT Suite experience while familiarizing themselves with test content. Practice tests for the PSAT-related assessments will also be available starting in 2023. Full-length linear paper and pencil practice test forms are also available as downloadable PDFs. These forms are recommended for students who require paper-based accommodations on test day.
Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy®: Students can log on to Khan Academy to prepare with digital SAT test questions and receive feedback, including answer explanations. In addition to providing test preparation activities, Khan Academy offers students a range of high-quality skill and knowledge building activities, including numerous videos and articles that target specific areas where students might need additional support.
Test Implementation and Classroom Practice Guides: These educator resources detail the design of the digital SAT Suite, offer guidance to educators looking to incorporate test preparation for the suite as part of their classroom duties, and provide information about evidence-based instructional best practices supporting college and career readiness for all students.
SAT Suite Question Bank (SSQB): This tool allows teachers to search for and download sets of practice SAT Suite questions targeted to their lesson plans. Teachers can apply multiple filters to the question bank to find the kind of questions they want. The SSQB will be updated with digital SAT Suite content starting in early 2023.
Do I need a College Board account to practice?
You'll need to sign in to access the full-length adaptive digital practice tests. You can access other practice resources without an account including full-length linear practice tests and downloadable PDF versions of the adaptive practice tests.
If you're logged into Bluebook™ with a College Board account, you can access the test preview—a short set of questions that give you a feel for testing with Bluebook—or a full-length SAT practice test. After you take a full-length practice test, your scores will be available on My SAT.
If you're logged in to Bluebook with a user ID and registration number, you can access the test preview, but not full-length practice tests.
What's included in the new digital SAT practice course on Khan Academy?
A new, free, interactive course will be available on Khan Academy® to help students focus on the exact skills they need to succeed on the test. Students can sharpen their skills with our library of thousands of practice questions, videos, lessons, and hints.
The course allows students to prepare for every section of the digital SAT with guidance from Khan Academy's team of math, reading, and writing experts. As students work through the material, they’ll learn test-taking tips and strategies while leveling up their mastery, reviewing hints and explanations, reading articles, and watching videos created by Khan Academy's test prep experts.
Where can I find tailored practice preparation for the digital SAT?
When students take the full-length digital practice tests in Bluebook™, not only will they get the full adaptive digital testing experience, but they'll also receive their scores alongside tailored information about the questions they got right and wrong, and explanations about the right answers. They will also get linked to additional instructional materials, resources, and lessons on Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy®.
