Students may choose a full 12-week curriculum or shorter, more intensive courses. Site licensing is available for schools. The free services also include the SAT Question of the Day, the Word of the Day, answers to selected questions from previous exams, and a free diagnostic mini-test. New sites offer free practice for those who just need a little practice. It offers free online weekly academic games in which students sharpen their test-taking skills by competing in groups or individually for prizes such as electronics and apparel.
Teachers can register their classes and track their students' progress through each quiz.
There's a vocabulary builder, a short sample of verbal and quantitative tests, and a variety of tutorials with sample practice questions. An SAT chat area is under construction. In addition to these formal sites, you'll find sites created by generous teachers who post and share their own practice tools for vocabulary and math.

She pointed to the College Board's own free online resources, publications, and affordable CD-ROM software.
