However, making time to practice is one of the best ways to prepare for test day and beyond.  \nBoost your score and skills.  \nPracticing for the SAT will help you identify the areas where you need the most support so you can sharpen your focus while studying. Plus, since the content on the test is tied to what you’re learning in school, practicing will set you up for success in your classes too.  \nTaking official practice tests is linked to stronger performance on the SAT. In fact, our research shows students who complete at least 1 full-length official practice test tend to score about 25 points higher, on average, than students who don’t take a practice test. Taking 2 or 3 practice tests is associated with average scores that are 45 or 61 points higher, respectively!  \nGet comfortable with Bluebook.  \nDownloading Bluebook™ ahead of test day and taking a practice test will help you become familiar with the app’s helpful features, the timing of the test, and the order of the sections. The app includes tools that let you hide incorrect answer choices, highlight information, flag questions to review later, and more. Familiarizing yourself with those tools before you test means you’ll be able to use them right away on test day.  \nIt’s also helpful to take a practice test in Bluebook before test day to prepare for the adaptive testing format and familiarize yourself with the number and types of questions. Both sections of the SAT (Reading and Writing, Math) have 2 modules. Depending on how you answer the questions in the first module, you’ll be routed to a second module, which has a different mix of difficulty levels. The mix of questions in the second module is either at a higher difficulty level or a lower difficulty level than in the first module. Taking an adaptive practice test in Bluebooklets you experience the transition between modules so you know what to expect on test day. Research supports the idea that being familiar with the test format helps students feel more prepared. When we learn, our brains remember information about the place we’re in. You may not be able to take the SAT from the comfort of your favorite study space, but if you’ve already taken a practice test in Bluebook, we hope you’ll feel right at home.  \nIt’s free!  \nStudying for the SAT doesn’t have to break the bank.
