Some of the best SAT prep is free and official, so look there before you pay for SAT prep courses. College Board’s Bluebook app has full-length adaptive practice tests that give you a score, and Khan Academy has free SAT courses. Schoolhouse.world runs free online tutoring groups. Paid options add video lessons, extra questions and study plans. In our list they start at $99 for a month of practice questions, and live classes cost $895 or more. We checked prices and what’s free in October 2026.
College Board’s own testing app, the same one you use on test day. Practice tests are timed and adaptive like the real SAT. When you finish, My Practice shows your score, every question and the explanations. You need a College Board account, but you don’t need to be registered for a test.

Build your own practice sets from official SAT and PSAT questions. Filter by section, domain, skill and difficulty. After a Bluebook practice test, My Practice can also pick questions aimed at your weak spots.

Small groups of about 5 to 10 students meet online twice a week for four weeks, using official College Board material. Tutors are high school students and recent graduates who scored in the top 5% on the section they teach and passed a certification. You can join for Math, Reading and Writing, or both.

Pick a Reading and Writing or a Math question each day. It keeps Words in Context or algebra fresh between practice tests, but it won’t give you a score.

Printable full-length tests. They aren’t adaptive and are longer than the real test, so College Board recommends them only for students approved to test on paper. Handy for extra questions, but take your full practice tests in Bluebook.

College Board’s printed guide with official practice tests you can mark up by hand. The adaptive tests in Bluebook are free and closer to what you’ll see on test day, so treat the book as an extra.

Not to get started. The free official tools cover the whole test. Bluebook has full practice tests, the Student Question Bank lets you drill one skill at a time, and Khan Academy’s Digital SAT courses have videos, articles and worked examples.
What paid SAT prep courses mostly add is structure, a teacher you can ask, or more practice questions. Those questions are written by the company, not College Board, so check that a course is built for the digital SAT before you pay.
