How to Create Your Perfect SAT Study Plan (Even If You’re Starting Late) Part 2

Step 3: Use the Right Resources

You don’t need expensive courses to crush the SAT—just the right tools.

🔗 Top Free Tools:

• Khan Academy: Official SAT practice with personalized feedback

• Bluebook App: Take full-length digital SATs

• Anki or Quizlet: Use flashcards for vocab and formulas

• Reddit (r/SAT): Real student experiences, tips, and test-day stories

Step 4: Balance School, Life, and SAT Prep

If you’re in school or juggling other responsibilities, here’s how to keep it manageable:

• Use weekends for longer sessions (1–2 hours)

• Use weekdays for short, focused practice (30–45 mins)

• Break study into chunks: e.g., 20 mins of reading practice + 10 vocab cards

• Track your progress weekly—and adjust if needed

Tip: Use a planner or digital calendar to block out your SAT time like an appointment.
