Google Calendar

If you have a Google Calendar account, you might find this useful: a calendar listing all the registration and testing dates for the SAT and the ACT.

To add this calendar to your own, click the link above and accept the prompt when you are logged into the Google Calendar site. Then you can click on individual events and copy them to your own calendar; this way, you can edit the events and send yourself reminders as needed.

Flashcard Exchange

May 1, 2006

Flashcard Exchange is an online flashcard repository where you can browse others' study cards or make some of your own. There are hundreds of card sets that are tagged with SAT; however, be aware that many of these were started and then abandoned, so many sets are limited to words that start with A.

We have found a few good SAT sets that we have listed on the "Winrow" Favorites page. The "Winrow" User page has vocabulary lists from Mrs. Winrow's 10 H and 11 AP English classes, as well as an SAT word list card set that is continually growing.

We recommend using the Study feature and then returning to the main card page, where you can select the View Card List option. Here, you can copy selected words to the Clipboard for further targeted study.

You can study and create flashcards online for free, but if you would like to print cards, you will have to pay a $19.95 membership fee.
