As a high school junior, preparing for the SAT is an important step in the college admissions process. SAT scores range up to 1600, and most competitive universities prefer a score above 1400. As much as it seems impossible to boost your SAT score by a few hundreds, there’s a direct guide that you can follow until the tests are launched in mid March.

Khan academy provides a favorable studying guide, including both English and Math courses that are partnered with College Boards, the creators of the digital SAT. Khan Academy grants you questions directly from the test itself, and ranges up to many units for free. You could also check out the program School House, run by Khan Academy, which is a free tutoring service by high school students and professors on any subject you want to target. 

“I use an online program called Acely,” Ava Tucker, a Junior, stated. “You answer a few questions everyday. It’s easy and quick.” Acely is a program where you are able to practice with 1000 of real test questions. It has a feature where AI can also assist you on how to learn and answer questions correctly. They have a feature where you can control the questions’ difficulty and are accompanied by a resource library. “There is an online Youtube source I use, which is a 90 day SAT prep series by a 1590 scorer.” Maria Paloka, a Junior as well, remarked. The Youtube channel she is referring to is by user Hayden Rhodea SAT on Youtube, He has listed over 90 videos, each range for an hour or longer, explaining techniques, tips, and an overall daily practice. 

There are many other sources that can be used to prepare for the SATS, alongside with College Panda and a few textbook guides, such as ones by Erica Meltszer that you are able to purchase online, which is the most recommended if you prefer a physical copy.

Proof shows that with enough time and stellar patience, hard work will pay off!
