Khan Academy's Official Digital SAT Prep is the first thing most students should open, and it leads this list because it pairs official alignment with a price of zero. Khan Academy says it partnered directly with College Board, the organization that writes the SAT, to focus practice on the skills the test measures. The program has thousands of practice questions, videos, lessons and hints across Math and Reading and Writing, plus tips on pacing and strategy. Khan Academy sends students to College Board's Bluebook app for full-length practice tests, so the two tools work as one free system. What you do not get is a person: there is no live class, no tutor and no score guarantee, so a student who needs deadlines or accountability may stall. For a motivated student, or as a base layer under a paid course, it is hard to beat.
Who it is for
every student, and families who want to start without spending money
Price
