SAT & ACT STUDY RESOURCES Pro Tip: Wondering how to decide which study program is right for your student? Most resources suggest the key to SAT/ACT Prep is regular, consistent practice for approx. 12-weeks prior to the testing date using Official Practice Tests to test and retest what is understood and what needs further practice. Students need to feel comfortable with the test, understand the timing, question styles and know time efficient ways to get to solutions. The question you need to ask is: Is your student a good fit for a self-paced program or do they need the consistent structure that a class provides. Once you answer that question you can then find a program to meet their needs. Kahn Academy is the official partner with College Board (the SAT) and offers a free, self-paced study program with videos, example problems, tips and hints. All online. All free. Other frequently mentioned study options. These include programs that are self-paced, online classes with live instruction, 1:1 tutors and in person courses. All the options listed below charge a fee.
There are a host of SAT and ACT "big books" available and it is recommended that students pick one up (used is fine). These are a few you might consider (copies are also in the College Counseling Center).
DETERMINE IF THE SCHOOLS YOU ARE APPLYING TO ALLOW FOR SELF-REPORTING OF SAT & ACT TEST SCORES Learn about Self-Reporting Test Scores (self submit vs pay to submit) Pro Tip: Among the many expenses that add up in the college admission process are application fees, test registration fees, and official score report fees. Many students are eligible to have these fees waived, but other students who don’t qualify for waivers may still find the costs to be a burden. A typical scenario might involve a student taking both the SAT and ACT once or twice, applying to 8–10 colleges, and spending a few hundred dollars simply to have official score reports sent to each college.
