How practice works here

  1. Practice one area at a time. Pick an area of a test, like Advanced Math on the SAT. You see the steps after each question, so you learn as you go.
  2. Then try a timed mixed set. Questions from every area, at the real section's pace. Take the full length or a shorter set. The timer hides with one tap.
  3. Answer the way the test asks. Four choices on all three tests today, plus typed answers on the SAT. On the CLT, every problem is meant to be done by hand. The older paper SAT and legacy ACT have their own sets, with their own timing and rules.
  4. Read your results. Right and wrong by area, your time on each question, the steps for every miss, and the Math Ladder topics to work on, which you can add to your reviews.

The problems come from Math Ladder's own generators, so every set is new. A set shows which topics to work on. It doesn't predict a score, and nothing here does.

Have the tests changed, and did they get easier?

Two of the three changed in the last few years. Each is shorter now, with more time for each question. Whether that makes them easier is argued: the makers say scores are comparable, and some critics disagree. Each page shows the evidence, who says what, and lets you practice both versions.

Reading, writing and grammar

What the reading, writing and English sections ask, on each test and each version, with links to the test makers' own free practice. Plus grammar and punctuation practice in each test's style: the part of those sections that follows clear rules.

Reading, writing and grammar

For vocabulary, the Vocabulary Ladder teaches 1,000 words that strong readers meet in good prose and in test passages, each with a picture and a memory hook, plus the Greek and Latin roots behind them, with flashcards, quizzes and printable word cards.
