santa-clara-act-tutor-copyWe often look at our phones as a distraction, but they don’t always have to be. They can also be a useful study tool. The biggest advantage to using apps to supplement your test prep is that you almost always have your phone with you. If you are waiting for a few minutes here or there, skip social media and use a study app instead. Here are three apps that can help you make the most of your study time

Ready4 SAT

Ready4 SAT is a free app that offers realistic sample SAT questions in covering all of the subject areas. The app offers helpful explanations and tracks your progress in the different subject areas. This app offers you the flexibility to focus on the areas where you need the most improvement.

College Board Daily Practice App

The Daily Practice App comes directly from the makers of the SAT for free. This means the questions will be almost exactly like what you will experience on the test. The app also offers helpful explanations of the answers so that you can learn from your mistakes. The app provides one new question everyday so that you can set the simple goal of completing one practice question a day. You can also answer archived questions when you want to spend a little more time with the app.  

SAT UP

SAT UP goes beyond offering sample questions and includes vocabulary games and other study tools to help you improve your skills. It also includes sample questions and allows you to track your progress. This app allows a little more personalization than other apps available. SAT Up can be downloaded for free, but offers in-app purchases if you want to use more tools.

Apps as Supplemental Tools

As you discover the best apps to study with, keep in mind that apps should supplement study and overtake it. Apps can offer helpful tools, but most do not offer helpful test taking strategies. They can also not replace taking full timed practice tests. Be sure to include time in your schedule to study for the SAT in more substantial ways than just using apps.
