Full-length practice tests
Adaptive like the real SAT: Module 1, then an easier or a harder Module 2 depending on how Module 1 went, each with its own clock. You get your results by module and by topic and an explanation for every question, then the other Module 2 as bonus practice. They're part of the full course.
Timed and adaptive: Module 1 (22 questions, 35 minutes), then a harder or easier Module 2 (22 questions, 35 minutes) depending on Module 1. Calculator allowed.

Full-length practice tests
Take a practice test in one sitting with real timing, then redo every question you missed. Rest the day before the SAT.
Each unit: its lessons, then its practice sets and the timed test. Time per unit follows how much of the SAT math section it's worth. Take a practice test along the way to see where you stand. Ahead of schedule? Great: start the next unit.
