Note that tests 1, 2, 3, and 7 have test material on reverse side of the answer keys. You should still tear out these keys. If any of these tests are used for proctored practice tests, replacement copies of the torn-out pages will be handed out during the test. The tests used for Term Test 2 (S05R10A and S09F01A) are not included in The Official SAT Study Guide. They are taken from the College Board s website and will be given to you separately before the tests. As an alternative, you could also use an unused 25-minute section in the book. Tests used in full: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7. Unused tests: tests 1, 9, and 10 Partially used tests: test 5 sections 2 and 7; test 8 sections 5 and 7 were used. Other sections remain available. If necessary, feel free to use material from these tests or the Appendices in the Book of Knowledge for additional homework or in-class drills. Math and Reading in-class tests are split between A/B in order to keep students from sharing answers. A-List Services LLC 1
