The Method
Learn the trap. Beat the test.
Most SAT prep teaches content. Project 1600 teaches the test's design. The wrong answers are engineered to feel right, and once you can name the pattern, the question gets much easier to control.
The three-color read
Yellow, the claim
What the problem actually establishes. This is the evidence you are allowed to use.
Red, the trap
The tempting wrong answer, usually built from a predictable misread or shortcut.
Green, the lesson
The right answer and the reusable rule that helps you on future questions.
How to use the bank
- Pick one lane. Choose Reading and Writing or Math, then narrow by topic and difficulty. Start where your points are leaking.
- Answer before you read. The explanation works best after you commit. The trap only teaches you something if you can see why it tempted you.
- Study the wrong answer. Do not stop at why the correct answer is correct. Learn why the trap was believable.
- Keep the lesson. Each question ends with one green lesson. That is the pattern you want to recognize next time.
Why this works
The SAT is not infinite. Its traps repeat: answers that go one step too far, choices that reverse a relationship, math results that stop before the final ask, and reading answers that sound smart but outrun the text. Project 1600 makes those moves visible.
The bank is free, has no account wall, and is built by two high-scoring students to make serious SAT practice available to anyone willing to study the patterns.
