The worst part of the SAT is how crazy expensive SAT tutors and classes are.  This test could affect the rest of your life, but unless you spend three 0's, it's very hard to prepare.  

The best free tool I've found online is a site called ShowMeSAT. Tutors on the site give step-by-step explanations for all SAT practice problems in the major SAT prep books.  So not only do you get the right answer, you learn how they got the right answer.

Check it out: http://www.showmeapp.com/sat/

Let me know if you like the site or have any other suggestions.

Here is another online site that I put together. There are currently video explanations to 27 Official Practice Tests from the test writers, this is a total of 1600 math problems, an amount more than sufficient for even the most die hard of SAT preparers.

Has the blue book helped any of you?

[Mirokaz]

I've found there is no replacement for the Blue Book. It's the only resource that has questions written by the same people who write the actual test.

SAT Habit is an another free resource.

thanks for the link.  I did not like the blue book and bought it for the reason everyone thinks they should: "they make the test, so their study guide must be the best.".  The practice tests are obviouslygood to use but did not have adequate explanations of solutions like other books have.  I ended up using online resources like www.khanacademy.org, www.purplemath.com, etc.  I also bought a smaller book from here called "Secrets to Conquering the SAT" and was very happy with it.  I didn't use it, but have heard good things about PWN the SAT also as it specializes in improving math.  Overall, it seems like the big books are less and less useful b/c the competition is getting harder and harder and generalized preparation isn't sufficient.  I guess it is to say they are helpful to a point, but the days of studying for the SAT and the score you get just 'is what it is" are long gone.  Students are willing to do whatever it takes to increase their score even a few points, and the old style of study guides doesn't deliver for that.
