I have heard from a few people that there are certain types of questions on the SAT, not stating math, reading, and writing, but specifically certain TYPES of questions.

As in, in a math question, they are trying to sway you to one or another answer, testing your ability to differentiate between answers. Is it true that there are around 5 different types of questions – if yes, can you lead me to a link where I can study these types to ace the exam?

Also, what other ways would you recommend preparing for the SAT besides "The Official SAT Preparation Guide?"

do you think it’s possible to go from a 1400 to a 1650? my class guarantees 300 points. but is that just a scam to lead you into taking the class. the class was 800 dollars…..

Hello-
I took an online SAT test practice.
Here are my scores:
Writing: 43, or 948
Reading: 32, or 910
Math: 12, 820.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I thought it only went to 2400 or something?
PLEASE hlep me understand this!!
Thank you!

i have lots of SAT tests, but i need more ACT to practice.

i really only need the Reading section, but an entire test would be fine.

i downloaded one off of actstudent.org. i bought 2 books and finished most of them but i still have 2 Reading sections that i could do. and i have 2 ACT Assessment booklets.

is there any way i can print out or download any practice tests off of the internet for free?

thanks.

She thinks she can do better (particularly in the math portion) because she didn’t do any preparation. This was her first time taking the test and she got a 33 composite. She got a 35 in English, 27 in math, 33 in reading, and 36 in science. She is a junior in high school. She wants to study for a couple months and then re-take. Good idea or not?
