And it's available 24 hours a day on the Web. Don't wait—register now, and start preparing for the SAT today! To participate in the program stop by Room 217 at 2:30 on Wednesdays to learn how to register and use The Official SAT Online Course. (Also, to learn how to make the best use of your PSAT/NMSQT results, bring along a copy of your score report.)
Available 24/7
The Official SAT Online Course is designed to help you prepare for the SAT. To get the most out of this program, we suggest that you follow the Course Guide, which represents the recommended order of steps you should follow to prepare for the SAT. It is organized around interactive lessons and is available 24 hours a day from any computer with Internet access.
Focus Your Practice
Identify your strengths and weaknesses by taking an official full-length Pretest and then go through the lessons covering the topics in which you require improvement. Take the quiz that appears at the end of each lesson to see if your understanding of the topics has improved. The Study Calendar allows you to manage your personal study plan as you prepare for the SAT. You can use this feature to specify target dates, and goals for those dates.
Lessons and Quizzes
18 interactive lessons will help you prepare for the critical reading, writing, and math sections of the SAT and the PSAT/NMSQT. Read through the lessons and take the practice quiz at the end of each one.
Official Practice Tests
You can take a total of 7 practice tests. You should take each official practice test under the same conditions that you will encounter when taking the SAT for real. This includes taking the test as a paper and pencil test, timing yourself, and using a calculator. When you are finished with the official practice test, transfer your answers online to receive a score and detailed score reports.
