There is no shortage of SAT blogs flooding the internet with test prep advice. Do a quick search and you’ll find hundreds of teachers, tutors, parents, former students, awesome admissions officers, and other experts shouting their tips and tricks. I’ve scoured the internet to bring you 10 pre-approved SAT blogs that offer solid testing tools and advice.
The criteria I used was not exhaustive, but they were very important. Every blog must have a single author, focus on SAT more than other subjects, update regularly, and pass the ‘cool’ test. The cool test just means that I like these people & plan to make them my friend! I have the pleasure of knowing several of these folks personally — through the internet or in person — and I can vouch for most of them. If you are starting your SAT prep now, bookmark each of these SAT blogs now.
But don’t forget, I also write a pretty amazing SAT blog. So… don’t stray for too long. 
Amazing SAT Blogs
1- PWN the SAT
Mike pwned the SAT with a 2400 score, and now he’s dedicated to helping you do the same. He tutors New York’s best and brightest, but he also doles out wisdom for free to the internet masses (i.e. you). He offers sample questions, shares his personal techniques, and outlines study guides for each subject. He literally wrote the book on pwning the math section, so be sure to check out his guide if that’s your weak spot.
Mom knows best at this part resource center, part study guide, part personal odyssey blog. Debbie decided to tackle the SAT alongside her teenage son. After taking the test seven times in one year, she morphed into an SAT guru to whom students and parents now flock. Her blog will tell you what works and what wastes your time when it comes to test prep. The site is continuously updated with highlights, tips, resources, and books to keep you busy.
3 – Testing is Easy
Testing is easy? Before you say, “Yeah right,” and skip ahead, this guy gives three reasons he can be a trusted source on testing: He’s a linguist, he fences, and he has ten years of test prep experience. Still scratching your head? Linguists are good at analyzing questions and finding rules and patterns; fencers are great strategists who learn to think like their opponents; and ten years of test prep is a long time to accumulate feedback and fine-tune methods. Read his site to understand how tests are designed, and learn unique test-taking tactics.
Erica Meltzer is the de facto SAT grammar guru online. Her book, The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar, is one of the best SAT books online. She has one of the most comprehensive reading guides online & is constantly updating her website with strategies, tactics, lessons, drills, and incite. This is the number 1 resource I refer all of my private SAT students to whenever we struggle with SAT writing.
Laura Wilson is a veteran teacher and self-styled SAT/ACT “coach.” Her method eschews ineffective cramming for daily, targeted prep work and consistent practice. You can pay for a personal coach and instant online feedback, or you can follow the blog for reading strategies, answers to students’ commonly asked questions, advice on college applications, and more.
6 – SAT Dude
Dr. John Siegelman has a test prep expert. Even though he has run Scorebusters for over 20 years, he still finds time to blog on SATDude. His advice helps thousands of parents & students navigate the SAT throughout the world. His incites and the people who guest post for him are absolute experts in test prep & admissions consulting.
7 – Bell Curves
This blog keeps you ahead of the curve with comprehensive college admissions advice, word challenges to boost vocab, SAT essay tips, first-hand testing experiences, and resources hand-picked by experts. Their focus is on “knowledge, recognition, and execution” rather than guessing strategies, so they won’t offer any shortcuts. They will, however, offer a solid game-plan for SAT success. Check out “You Be the (Essay) Judge” for a lesson using one student’s actual SAT essay.
Stacy explains the SAT strategies and test in a very easy way. Her honesty, transparency, and skill is evident in everything she writes. She is also a private SAT tutor, She has figured out how to help students earn great grades in only ~7 hours of study time. That’s amazing. One of my favorite posts is her infographic on the SAT writing breakdown.
Claire and co. have pretty much written the best vocabulary primer available. She fundamentally understands the vocabulary acquisition process and explains it through stories, adventures, and history. Reading her blog is like a masterclass in vocab. She even does SAT vocabulary research so I don’t have to. How cool is that? If you are trying to increase your vocabulary, Direct Hits must be part of your process.
10 – The College Solution
Lynn O’Shaughnessy is a “college expert”: she speaks about, writes about, and works for colleges. Her blog is about helping students of all score and income levels make their way into a good college. There is an entire section dedicated to the SAT/ACT with free study resources, guidance for below-average test-takers (no one’s perfect!), and reviews of other test prep programs, saving you lots of grief and money on your testing journey.
*Bonus* Me!
I had to make myself a bonus! I love writing about the SAT, about uni admissions, about non-native English speaking, and about academic hacks. I hope you do too.
