Taking the SAT Practice Tests
To take most advantage of a practice test, mimic the real test environment as much as possible.
- Think of a practice test as a real SAT test.
- Create a makeshift setup, such as a quiet corner in the house or at a library.
- Follow the same pre-test routine as on the day of the actual test.
- Wake up at the same time.
- Start the practice test at the same time as the real test and take the same breaks.
Repeating this for several practice tests may help you develop a rhythm for taking the SAT test and build confidence.
Digital SAT vs. Pencil-and-Paper SAT Timeline
The paper and pencil SAT is adminsitered on paper and answered on the same paper using a pencil.
The digital SAT is adminstered on a laptop or a tablet using a custom-built digital testing application, known as Bluebook.
The SAT is administered digitally to all students taking the SAT at international test centers since March 2023 and nationally (USA) since spring 2024.
The College Board website link to the information on Digital SAT is https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat. Select the submenu of interest.
Digital SAT Practice Tests
Digital adaptive practice tests in Bluebook app:
Initially, the College Board released six practice tests, numbered 1 through 6. In February 2025, the College Board removed practice tests 1 through 3 and added practice tests 7 through 10; however, the numbering of the practice tests remained unchanged. Hence, currently, seven full-length digital adaptive practice tests numbered 4 through 10 are available on Bluebook. These tests mimic the actual digital adaptive test interface, format, and scoring system. They are a valuable resource to familiarize students with the digital platform interface and the adaptive nature of the test. Students can download Bluebook and sign-in using the College Board account to access these practice tests.
Pdfs of digital nonadaptive practice tests:
At the same time as the adaptive tests, the College Board also released nonadaptive (linear) tests as pdfs. Though they are not adaptive and not taken digitally, they provide students with an additional resource for the digital test format and type of questions.
Practice tests 4 through 10 are available at the College Board website, however, practice tests 1 through 3 have been removed.
pdfs of all the 10 practice tests along with the answer solutions are available below.
Overlap:
Keep in mind that some questions on both the linear and adaptive practice tests overlap. To avoid skewing your score on the adaptive practice tests, take the linear practice tests only after you have completed the adaptive practice tests.
