A great tutor can help with this, or you can use the innumerable videos that can be found on YouTube.
Tests can be taken section by section, but if you want to practice the test as a whole, here is how you can proctor them for yourself at home:

Accountability:
If you are studying on your own, it can be very beneficial to have a system of accountability in place. Students should get together with a group of friends, or join an online community where they can check in weekly, stay on track to reach their goals, and get encouragement from peers.
One great way to do that is:
Sign up for our 2023 Reading Challenge. You'll get get monthly encouragement, book recs, and great resources for the Verbal and English Language sections of the SAT and ACT. When you complete the challenge, we will also send you a certificate of completion.
