| Abstract | To document the extent of special preparation for taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), two surveys were conducted. The first survey covered a stratified random sample of 1986-87 SAT examinees (1,364 high school seniors and 911 high school juniors), while the second survey covered a stratified random sample of 508 secondary schools whose students take the SAT. The surveys were designed to: (1) determine the availability and incidence of use of a variety of programs and resources designed for student preparation; (2) describe some of the salient features of these resources; (3) estimate the amount of time and money that students spend on these resources; and (4) obtain examinees' reactions regarding the effectiveness of these resources. Results indicate that: (1) nearly half of all secondary schools offer special programs to prepare students for the SAT; (2) test familiarization materials provided by the College Board are the most widely used resources; (3) test preparation software, special programs given either at school or outside school, books of practice tests, or private tutoring are used much less frequently; (4) about 11% of the students indicated that they had attended preparation or coaching sessions outside school at an average cost of $150 per student; and (5) the median time spent on all preparation activities by all students was 10 hours. Fifteen data tables are provided. The SAT Test Preparation Survey (for students), 22 books on preparing for the SAT, 32 SAT preparation software packages, and the SAT Test Preparation Questionnaire (for school personnel) are appended.
