New Practice Tests in Bluebook

And presumably better ones

Since the introduction of the digital SAT, the Bluebook app has been the sole source of official digital adaptive practice tests. I consider these exams the finest practice tests available because the questions come directly from the source (not to say that excellent third-party tests don’t exist).

College Board has shown an admirable commitment to providing tests that reflect the most current content distributions and score scales, even though the first three released tests lacked accuracy. No wonder they just retired those tests and replaced them with four new ones!

The current state of practice digital SATs in Bluebook is as follows:

• SAT 1-3: GONE

• SAT 4-6: Still intact and unchanged

• SAT 7-10: NEW, though each includes a handful of items from SAT 1-3

Until research proves otherwise, let’s assume that the new tests are most closely aligned with the current version of the SAT. This means that test takers should work with these tests in order, saving what are assumed to be the most predictive exams for the end of prep.

Most importantly, make every one of these exams count by following our instructions on how to take a great practice SAT.
