When a custom SAT practice test fills the gap

Many students start with Khan Academy SAT practice tests, which are free and built around the official exam. Once those are done, the next step is often a set of questions that targets the exact chapter or skill still giving you trouble.

Use official full-length practice tests to build timing stamina.
Build a custom set for the topics your score report marks as weak.
Read every explanation, including the ones for questions you got right.
Retake missed questions after a day or two rather than right away.

Example SAT math and grammar practice questions

If 3x + 7 = 22, what is the value of x?x = 5. Subtracting 7 from both sides gives 3x = 15, and dividing by 3 gives x = 5.

Neither the students nor the teacher ___ ready for the test. Which verb fits?is. With neither/nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, which here is the singular teacher.

In context, 'candid' most nearly means which of the following? (The speaker gave a candid assessment of the plan.)Frank or open. A candid assessment is an honest one, so frank is the closest match.

What is the slope of the line 4x - 2y = 8?2. Solving for y gives y = 2x - 4, and the coefficient of x is the slope.

A right triangle has legs of length 6 and 8. What is the length of the hypotenuse?10. By the Pythagorean theorem, 6 squared plus 8 squared is 100, and the square root of 100 is 10.

Questions from your materials

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of worked problems, and get questions drawn from what you actually study.

An explanation for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the correct choice works instead of just showing a score.

Review that comes back

Plus adds spaced repetition for the cards you study, so weak spots return on a schedule before you forget them.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page from your prep book or class handout.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions for the topics your score report flags.

Take the test and review

Answer in the browser, then read the explanation for every miss before you move on.

Custom questions work best when the source material matches your weak spots. Upload the unit you struggled with, your teacher's slides, or a photo of problems you got wrong, then answer in the browser. The explanations matter more than the raw score, because they show the reasoning behind each answer.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser. Exporting to PDF or DOCX is a paid feature, available on Plus.

Frequently asked questions

How many SAT practice tests should I take before test day?

There is no fixed number that suits everyone. Many students take full-length tests under timed conditions and spend about as long reviewing each one as they spent taking it.

How should I review a wrong answer on an SAT practice question?

Name the skill it tested, such as linear equations or subject-verb agreement, then work several similar questions. Writing down why you chose the wrong answer often reveals a repeating pattern.

Can I export my custom SAT questions?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Does DeckOwl include official SAT questions?

No. DeckOwl writes questions from the material you upload, so they come from your own notes, PDFs or slides.
