This SAT study plan maker builds a week-by-week maths plan to your test day. Pick your SAT date, enter your first practice maths score, your target and your hours a week. The plan puts College Board’s free Bluebook practice tests and Student Question Bank into set weeks, and you can print it.
Week 1 of every plan: find your real level.

How the SAT study plan maker builds your plan
It counts the weeks from your start date to your SAT date, then gives each week one job. Week 1 is always the same: find your real level with the Free BMI Maths Test. The last week is always a light final week. The weeks in between depend on your dates and on the gap between your score and your target.
Practice tests go in first. College Board recommends a practice test at least two weeks before test day, and practice tests at least two weeks apart. So the plan counts back from your SAT date: 2 weeks before, 4 weeks before, and so on. It uses up to 6 full-length tests.
The last two weeks are for timed work. Weeks that start less than 2 weeks before test day get timed modules of 22 questions in 35 minutes, the same as one SAT maths module.
Your gap sets the skill weeks. A rise of 150 points or more gives about 60% of the free weeks to building skills, area by area. A rise of 80 to 140 gives about 40%, and a smaller rise about 25%. The rest are mixed practice. These shares are our planning rule, not College Board figures.
Your score sets the question level. Below 500: easy and medium questions. 500 to 640: medium and hard. 650 or more: hard questions.
The skill weeks start with Algebra and Advanced Math. College Board says each SAT has 13 to 15 questions from each of these areas, more than the other two areas (5 to 7 each).
What the tool cannot do
It does not know your weak topics, and it cannot promise a score. It also cannot see how many practice tests you have already used. College Board’s practice pages do not say how many full-length tests Bluebook holds. A College Board research report from May 2025 listed SAT Practice Tests 1 to 6, and said more practice was added later. So the plan never asks for more than 6.
What your plan means
Take the default example: a practice score of 600, a target of 700 and 5 hours a week. If your SAT is 3 or 4 weeks away, the plan has room for one full-length test, then timed work. With 4 months, you get skill weeks first, from Algebra on, then a test every 2 weeks.
Short plan (under 4 weeks)
Little time for new skills. Fix the mistakes you already make, practise timing, and learn the Bluebook tools.
Long plan (12 weeks or more)
Time to rebuild weak areas before the tests start. Keep the hours steady: the same time each week works better than a rush at the end.
After each practice test
Look at your maths score and the questions you missed in My Practice. If one area is weak, move a mixed week to that area.

Free BMI Maths Test
Your plan starts with your real level.
A practice score tells you how many questions you missed. The Free BMI Maths Test finds your real maths level and the reason for each mistake, so your skill weeks go to the right topics.
Questions people ask about an SAT study plan
How many weeks do I need for SAT maths?
It depends on the gap between your score and your target, and on your hours. College Board gives no fixed number of weeks. A plan with room for at least 2 practice tests, 2 weeks apart, needs about 5 weeks or more.
How many practice tests should I take?
College Board gives no fixed number. It recommends spacing practice tests at least two weeks apart, and taking one at least two weeks before test day. This plan uses up to 6.
Can I raise my maths score in 4 weeks?
Some students do, but nobody can promise it. In 4 weeks, the plan has room for one full-length test and timed modules. Fix the mistake types you make most often first.
What should I do in the last week?
No new topics. Redo the questions in your mistake log, do one timed module early in the week, and rest before test day. College Board says you must complete the setup steps in Bluebook before test day, or you may be turned away.
