1600.io takes a different approach from the big course companies: instead of writing its own practice questions, it explains official SAT questions. The Premium Membership includes 6,000 explanatory videos covering more than 40 digital and pre-digital SATs, interactive Desmos solutions for digital SAT math, the SAT Math Orange Book with over 1,200 problems, and a Mastering Desmos course for the on-screen graphing calculator. Plans cost $6.99 per week, $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year, and all can be canceled from the account page. The site says its prep is 100% AI-free. There is no adaptive plan, no parent reports and no points guarantee, and the content leans toward math. For a student already taking Bluebook tests who wants to understand every missed math question, it is the cheapest paid add-on here.
