Slowly But Surely, Filling Up the Site with SAT Tips and Resources

Someone might as well benefit from all those SATs I took last year.

Resource and Tips pages will continue to be filled up over the next few days (weeks.....months)....Check out the links on the righthand navigation bar for updates.

And the Books page (my personal passion), well, stay tuned.  If I learned nothing else last year, I have a visceral understanding now that everything takes more time than I think it will.

 

  1. Score Decline: College Board Report on SAT Score Decline, 1977. Think: Mad Men meets the SAT. Fun to read...nostalgia.
  2. Fair Test Rules: The SAT Standard Testing Room Manual published by ETS. READ PAGES 1-11 before taking the SAT (CAPs and BOLD on purpose, for emphasis). Know your rights as a test taker. You deserve a fair test experience. Not knowing your rights could be reflected in your score (said from firsthand experience). Read this post for more details.
  3. Looking for your old SAT Scores?  Click on this College Board link and follow the directions.
  4. 3 FREE Official College Board SATs: January 2006 SAT, October 2005 SAT, and March 2005 SAT.
  5. Best SAT Sites: Credible information without having to wade through the College Board's site (overwhelming) or College Confidential (the wild west): Erik the Red, PWNtheSAT, Ultimate SAT Verbal.

 

More more more tk soon.....

    Thanks, THE Debbie! The College Board recently took down that link for the October 2005 test. But they left the following link to the same test up: https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.com/SR/digital_assets/assessment/pdf/0833A611-0A43-10C2-0148-CC8C0087FB06-F.pdf

      And now I realize that the original link is back up. Well, this is a backup link then :)

        Scratch that. I am a dummy. Debbie, your Oct 2005 and Jan 2006 links point to the same test, which is the Jan 2006 one.

          I appear to be having technical difficulties.  Is it right now? (It's hard because the test date on the download doesn't match the ACTUAL test date that I'm listing).  Does that make sense?

        Thanks Erik!  Always good to have a backup.  Many thanks for your great resources...and for synthesizing the College Board site.  I'm STILL overwhelmed by that site (after at least a few hundred visits).
