[nabs-l] Studying for the SAT

[Cricket Bidleman]

Hi Jameyanne,

Thanks so much. I'll look into the practice tests. The problem with
the bookshare option (and I have looked at that) is that the math
portion is inaccessible. How would I get practice tests from ETS? And
would they come with the answers?

Best,
Cricket Bidleman
