    How to Use This Book This book is designed to allow for highly targeted preparation for the SAT. Based on your previous SAT scores or the SAT Diagnostic Test in this book, review the strategies and content knowledge that are most relevant to your needs. There are hundreds of drills that range in difficulty from easy to challenging so that you can achieve the very best results for your personal situation. Diagnostic Test First, take the Diagnostic Test to gain an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. It is a complete test with answer explanations and a question- type analysis guide so you know what types of concepts need the most attention. Review and Practice The Reading, Writing and Language, and Math sections each have: m Proven test-taking strategies that allow you to customize your approach m Extensive review of key concepts, particularly grammar and math knowledge m Practice questions fully aligned with SAT content m Advanced practice drills for ambitious students Practice Tests The final section of the book offers the opportunity to take four full-length

    practice tests that include all question types found on the actual SAT for the Reading, Writing and Language, and Math (calculator and non-calculator) sections. Comprehensive answer explanations are provided for all questions. Online Practice In addition to the Diagnostic Test and four practice tests within this book, there are also three full-length online practice exams. You may take these exams in practice (untimed) mode or in timed mode. All questions include answer explanations. For Students Every strategy and explanation is based on what I have found works best for students on the actual SAT. No matter your personal goals and background knowledge, you will find practice drills and test-taking strategies that are geared toward your situation. Look at the SAT as an opportunity to showcase all of your knowledge and skills for colleges. Best of luck, Brian W. Stewart For Teachers While many students will like working through this book independently, others will maximize their learning when they have a great teacher or tutor as their guide. Help your students work smarter instead of simply harder by utilizing the concept reviews and drills most appropriate for your students’ needs. Also, you can coach your students on which test-taking strategies will be the best fit based on their past performance. I am hopeful that the skills students develop from using this book will help them not just with the SAT, but also with their academic coursework and future careers. If you have any suggestions for future editions, please reach out via the publisher. Sincerely,

    Welcome to the SAT The New Digital SAT In January 2022, the College Board announced that in the spring of 2024, students in the United States are scheduled to switch from a paper SAT to a digital SAT. Students taking the SAT internationally are scheduled to shift to the digital format in the spring of 2023. The fundamental math, reading, and grammar skills and knowledge necessary for success will remain the same, and the test will still be scored out of 1600 points. The most important anticipated changes are that the SAT will take about 2 hours to complete instead of 3, the test sections will be “adaptive” (changing in difficulty based on your performance), and the entire test will be given on a computer. Check out the latest information on the digital exam by accessing Barron’s Online Learning Hub via the link provided in the card at the front of the book. The Learning Hub includes online practice materials, and you can find more information on the digital SAT in the Library section. Frequently Asked Questions What is the SAT? The SAT is a standardized test designed to assess your readiness for college- level work. Approximately 2,200,000 students take the exam each year, and most U.S. colleges and universities accept it for admissions consideration. Many schools also use the SAT to determine eligibility for scholarships. The SAT is one of many factors that colleges use to grant admission, along with evaluations of high school coursework, application essays, extracurricular involvement, and more.

    What is the format of the SAT? The SAT takes approximately three hours to complete, and is broken down as follows: SAT Format 1. Reading 65 52 minutes questions 10-minute break 2. Writing and 35 44 Language minutes questions 3. Math No 25 20 Calculator minutes questions 4. Math with 55 38 Calculator minutes questions How is the SAT scored? m The SAT score is broken up into two halves: 1. Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, made of the Reading and Writing and Language sections, is scored between 200-800 points. 2. Math, made of the Math No Calculator and Math with Calculator sections, is scored between 200-800 points. m The total SAT score is therefore between 400-1600 points, with a 1600 being a perfect score, and a 1000 being approximately an average score. m There is no penalty for guessing, so be sure to answer every question.

    https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/registerl The SAT is typically offered seven times throughout the year in the following months: March, May, June, August, October, November, and December. Check on the above website link for the most updated information on test dates. Some schools may also offer an in-school test date; check with your guidance counselor for more details. What is a good SAT score? There is not a “passing” score on the SAT—a good score for you depends on your specific goals for college admissions. Take a look at this free College Board website for detailed information on typical scores for admitted students at schools throughout the United States: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org Does the SAT potentially offer accommodations? For students whose test-taking is impacted by a documented disability, such as ADHD, dyslexia, or visual or motor impairments, the SAT may offer accommodations. The most typical accommodation is extended time, although some students may receive more specific accommodations, like the services of a reader or extended breaks. If you have an IEP or 504 plan with your school, talk to your guidance counselor or school administrator about applying for accommodations on the SAT. Having an IEP or a 504 plan will not necessarily lead to having accommodations on the SAT, but it usually helps. Allow plenty of time to apply for accommodations—at least seven weeks. Go to this website for the latest details on requesting SAT accommodations: https://accommodations.collegeboard.org Does the SAT offer accommodations for English language learners? Students who are actively enrolled in an English as a Second Language program at their school may be able to take the SAT with 50% extra time, translated test directions, and the use of a bilingual dictionary. This service is currently available on school-day SATs, but not on the national test dates on weekends. Go to this website for further information about SAT supports for
