How many practice tests should I take?

This plan fits a full Bluebook practice test every third week and one in the second-to-last week, each followed by a review of every miss.

College Board's framework puts about 35% of Math questions in Algebra, 35% in Advanced Math, 15% in Problem-Solving and Data Analysis and 15% in Geometry and Trigonometry.

How we work this out

What it does

Enter your current and target section scores, test date and weekly hours: get a week-by-week plan by content domain.

The digital SAT's two sections and eight content domains, planned from your start date to your test date.

Method

  1. Your gap in each section is target minus current score, never below zero.
  2. Your weekly hours become one-hour sessions. Section time follows the gaps, with at least a fifth of it on each section so neither goes cold.
  3. Within a section, sessions go to each content domain in proportion to College Board's published share of questions (for Math: Algebra about 35%, Advanced Math about 35%, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis about 15%, Geometry and Trigonometry about 15%). Each week names one official skill per domain, in turn.
  4. With four or more hours a week, a full Bluebook practice test (three slots) and a review session come every third week and in the second-to-last week. The last week is light. These choices are ours.
