Personalised SAT study plan generator

Free TutorAura tool · no sign-up · Updated 25 October 2026

Enter your current Reading and Writing and Math scores (from a practice test or a previous SAT), your target total, the weeks until your test and the hours you can study each week. The generator builds a week-by-week plan: a diagnostic first, focused skill-building on your weaker section, timed practice and full-length tests at the right intervals, and a light final week.

Focus first on

Reading and Writing

Your lower section usually has the quickest gains.

Week 1 Diagnose
- Take a full-length timed practice test (or use your latest score report).
- Sort every mistake by skill and cause: didn't know it, careless slip, or ran out of time.
- Start with the quickest wins in Reading and Writing: grammar rules and linear equations are often the fastest gains.
Week 2 Build skills
- Learn and practise one or two weak skills in Reading and Writing each session, with instant feedback.
- Short mixed quizzes on earlier skills to keep them fresh.
- Log every mistake with the rule to use next time.
Week 3 Build skills
- Full-length timed practice test this week; review it fully.
- Learn and practise one or two weak skills in Reading and Writing each session, with instant feedback.
- Short mixed quizzes on earlier skills to keep them fresh.
- Log every mistake with the rule to use next time.
Week 4 Build skills
- Learn and practise one or two weak skills in Reading and Writing each session, with instant feedback.
- Short mixed quizzes on earlier skills to keep them fresh.
- Log every mistake with the rule to use next time.
Week 5 Build skills
- Full-length timed practice test this week; review it fully.
- Learn and practise one or two weak skills in Reading and Writing each session, with instant feedback.
- Short mixed quizzes on earlier skills to keep them fresh.
- Log every mistake with the rule to use next time.
Week 6 Build skills
- Learn and practise one or two weak skills in Reading and Writing each session, with instant feedback.
- Short mixed quizzes on earlier skills to keep them fresh.
- Log every mistake with the rule to use next time.
Week 7 Timed practice
- Timed mixed modules: 32 minutes for Reading and Writing, 35 for Math.
- Keep working on your weakest Reading and Writing skills from the mistakes log.
- Redo questions you missed one and two weeks ago.
Week 8 Timed practice
- Full-length timed practice test this week; review it fully.
- Timed mixed modules: 32 minutes for Reading and Writing, 35 for Math.
- Keep working on your weakest Reading and Writing skills from the mistakes log.
- Redo questions you missed one and two weeks ago.
Week 9 Final full test
- One last full-length timed test under real conditions.
- Review it the same day; redo every missed question two days later.
- No new topics now: sharpen what you know.
Week 10 Test week
- Light review only: your mistakes log and formulas.
- Check your admission ticket and that Bluebook is installed and up to date.
- Sleep well the two nights before the test.

About 6 hours a week: split it into short sessions on most days rather than one long one.
You're aiming to gain about 170 points. Focus your time where you lose the most points, not where you're already strong.

How the plan is built

Week 1: diagnose. A full-length timed test (or your latest score report) and a sorted list of mistakes.
Skill-building weeks: one or two weak skills at a time, with instant feedback and a mistakes log.
Timed practice: later weeks shift to timed modules (32 minutes for Reading and Writing, 35 for Math).
Full-length tests: spaced through the plan to measure progress, not taken every week.
Final week: light review, logistics and sleep.

The section with the lower score gets more focus, because it usually offers the quickest gains.

Take our free full-length Digital SAT practice test: it's timed and adaptive like the real test and shows the skills that cost you points. Or use the College Board's free Bluebook practice tests for an official-style score.

Making the plan work

Short regular sessions beat occasional long ones, and testing yourself beats rereading (Dunlosky et al., 2013). Keep a mistakes log and redo missed questions a week later. For more detail, see our SAT study plan guide and how to improve your SAT score.

What a good study session looks like

Warm up (5 minutes): redo two or three questions from your mistakes log.
Learn (15 minutes): one skill, such as comma rules or linear equations, from a short explanation or worked example.
Practise (20 minutes): questions on that skill, checking each answer straight away.
Log (5 minutes): write the rule behind each mistake.

On full-test weeks, replace a session with a timed test and spend the next session reviewing it.

If you have less than a month

Prioritise what moves the score fastest: grammar and punctuation rules, linear equations, pacing (no blank answers, since there's no penalty for guessing), and using Desmos for systems and quadratics. Take one full-length timed test early and one about a week before the test. See how to study for the SAT in a month.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get my current section scores?

From a full-length practice test, such as our free adaptive test or the College Board's Bluebook tests, or from a previous PSAT or SAT score report.

How long should I study for the SAT?

Many students prepare for 2 to 3 months before a first attempt, with a few hours a week. The generator works for 1 to 26 weeks.

How many points can I improve?

It depends on your starting point, time and how targeted your practice is. The plan focuses your time where you lose the most points.

Is the plan the same for everyone?

No. It changes with your section scores, target, weeks and hours available.
