You can buy (bookstore or online) or borrow (from a library, I suppose) any SAT practice exam book - e.g., Barron’s SAT, tons of books by Kaplan, Princeton Review, or Gruber. You can also just Google “free SAT practice exam” to find other test prep or tutoring companies’ sample tests or problems.
No. The SAT I is an exam for all college-bound students (yes, some colleges don’t require it, but most do). That’s for anyone who intends to major in anything.
But I think you are thinking of different SAT tests. There are “SAT IIs,” which are specialized tests in various subjects (math, physics, chemistry, many non-English languages, US history, etc.), which you should take if you intend to apply to the more competitive or “elite” US universities (think Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and others). You should check with the schools to which you intend to apply to see if you need to take the SAT IIs. If you do, it is a good idea to take the SAT II in the subject in which you intend to major (e.g., if you intend to major in chemistry, take the chemistry SAT II). Good luck! Some colleges give interviews only to let you find out information by asking questions of an alumnus - often called an “informational” interview. I’ve gone to them as a college applicant, and I’ve given one to an applicant. Others may count the interview as part of your application.
It would be a good idea to look at the websites and admissions materials for the colleges to which you are applying and find out what weight, if any, they give the interviews. You could also just call the admissions office at each college and ask. No one is going to hold it against you that you called to ask how the admissions process works; if you don’t believe me, just call after blocking Caller ID, and give them a fake name. ;-) But seriously, researching the college admissions process (as well as the faculty, the courses, etc.) at each college you’d want to attend will pay off handsomely. From Quora: My Answer to "What do you need to know to take the SAT test (math and English topics)?"8/15/2020 For math, you need to understand basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, graph and chart reading, and extremely basic statistics, complex numbers, and right triangle trigonometry. Basically, it’s what any American high school student should know by the end of the first month of 11th grade (junior year in high school).
For the reading portion, you should be able to determine the meaning of words from their context, basic ideas about how points are made in written English (i.e., how arguments are structured and stories are told), the main idea of a written passage, how two different authors might approach the same topic, and the ideas they’d have about that topic. You should also be able to skim the passage to find answers to questions, and how to avoid “distractor” wrong answers to those questions. You should know that the word you don’t know is probably the wrong answer to the question. Basically, if you’ve made it to 11th grade, you should understand the reading. For the writing (non-essay) section, know the rules of punctuation, subject, verb, and tense agreement, how sentences are structured, and a few grammatical rules such as when to use “who” or “whom,” and when “he,” “she,” and “they” are to be used. For the essay, you should learn what the terms “ethos,” “pathos,” and “logos” mean, the names of basic rhetorical arguments (or at least how to describe them if you can’t remember the names), and how to identify them for the essay. As I stated for the reading section, you should know how a written argument is structured (the prompt will always be a piece of persuasive writing, such as a newspaper editorial). This is because you will be asked to describe how the author makes his or her point in the prompt, not whether you agree or disagree with the point the author makes. If you have time, you can point out flaws in the author’s argument, but only after you’ve discussed all the ways the author makes his or her point. If you actually have time, you can note “The author’s argument could have been strengthened by including [something left out] and addressing [the obvious counterargument the author seems to have dismissed or completely ignored].” You most likely won’t have that much time, so concentrate on describing what the author does right. You can learn more by going to my website - Tutoring by John Linneball or to my YouTube channel : John Linneball Tutoring Literally any scientific calculator would work for the SAT. You could even do the SAT with a simple calculator (like one you might take grocery shopping), or with none at all, but it’s not recommended.
All you need is a calculator that works, and that does trigonometric functions. A graphing calculator, such as a TI-83 or TI-84, would also work, and would be helpful for graphing questions, and you can pre-load some formulas into those calculators, but you don’t really needthem. As an SAT tutor, I’ve been doing SAT math problems for years, and practically never use my TI-83, but a scientific calculator has come in handy (e.g., there’s no way to do inverse trig functions without a scientific calculator). You can get a scientific calculator for not very much money - you can try any department store, office supply store, electronics store, eBay, or local site such as Craigslist, Nextdoor, FreeCycle, etc. Here’s a link to the SAT’s official calculator policy, including a list of acceptable calculators (which includes “all scientific calculators”). SAT Calculator Policy Learn Greek and Latin word roots, prefixes and suffixes. Googling “word roots, suffixes, and prefixes” will yield several useful websites that will let you “decode” words with Latin or Greek roots (i.e., most of the hard words on the GRE). You can also buy or borrow a copy of the Barron’s Essential Words for the GRE, which lists many words and has useful exercises to help you remember words. Good luck!
