Helping Students Prepare
Information and resources from the SAT test maker
Preparing for the SAT is an important step on your students' path toward higher education. To help you prepare your students for the test, the College Board provides the SAT Readiness Program™—an integrated system of free and low-cost print materials, online services, and teacher workshops.
Developed to meet the diverse needs of students, educators, and schools, the SAT Readiness Program enables schools to:
- Create a low-cost program to help broaden student access to SAT preparation and higher education
- Provide students with the only SAT practice tests created by the test maker
Our SAT preparation resources are both individually useful and designed to work together. You can select resources to:
- Highlight the concepts and skills assessed on the SAT
- Provide students with resources for independent study
- Customize an SAT preparation course for your school
The PSAT/NMSQT
The PSAT/NMSQT provides an excellent introduction to the SAT. The test allows students to gain experience with a test and test-taking conditions similar to the SAT. Students who have taken the PSAT/NMSQT have access to My College QuickStart™, an online college planning tool that includes a customized SAT Study Plan.
The value of a rigorous curriculum
While these resources can provide valuable insight and experience with the SAT, there is no substitute for a rigorous curriculum and test-taking experience that includes English, mathematics, science, history, and other academic subjects. Students should also be encouraged to read extensively and develop good writing skills.
