SAT Practice Test with Answer Key with Complete Solutions. The practice tests included with this workbook have been designed to give you the real “game day”-type practice you need to succeed on the SAT. When you take the practice tests, you should try to replicate the conditions of an actual SAT testing situation. Key points to consider are: • Make sure you have a long block of time where you can concentrate on the test without interruption. • Use the answer sheets provided in the back of this workbook to get used to filling in your answers. Either tear them out or copy them so you won’t need to flip back and forth. • Have at least two sharp #2 pencils-get used to using them to see how many you need to bring on test day. • Use the same calculator you plan to use on test day. Don’t forget to use it. It will save you time. • Have some scratch paper handy. • Use an accurate timer and strictly follow the allotted time for each section. Don’t get in the habit of giving yourself any more time than is allotted. • Try to complete the whole test before checking your answers on any section. • Don’t flip back to the workbook for help. Struggle through and then go back and review the sections of the workbook and DVDs as needed. Once you have completed a practice test, turn to the answer section and check your answers. Once you’ve checked your answers, go back to the test questions and try to understand what you did wrong on the ones you missed. This type of review will help you understand and correct any trouble areas you have. NOTE: The practice tests included in this workbook do not contain an experimental section.
