- Take challenging courses in high school and work hard. Day-to-day classroom work and homework develops the knowledge and skills students need to succeed on the SAT.
- Go to Official SAT Practice at Khan Academy for free, personalized practice by the people who create the SAT. We recommend students practice at least 6-8 hours on Khan Academy to prepare, though many students practice more.
- Take the PSAT/NMSQT, the PSAT 10, and the PSAT 8/9 (if your child's school administers these tests). These tests help students get ready for the SAT.
