SAT & PSAT Study Materials Online and Free

Students can get free study plans on their phones and on the web by linking their college board account with SAT Practice from KHAN Academy. Last year sophomores and juniors took the PSAT 10 and PSAT/NMSQT respectively. They should have access to do this and create study plans. Studying for the SAT or PSAT for just 10 minutes a day can provide significant opportunities to improve scores.
