<p>Basically
are essay prompts made by prep companies (kaplan, mcgrawhill, etc) similar to those you might encounter on SAT?</p>
<p>My sense is that they are sometimes quite different. The good news is that College Board publishes the prompts. The prompts from the most recent test are on: [SAT</a> - Essay Prompts](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat-reasoning/prep/essay-prompts]SAT”>SAT Practice and Preparation – SAT Suite | College Board)</p>
<p>You can find prompts from older SAT tests on: [Online</a> resources for your exams: SAT, ACT, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, MCAT and other College entrance exams.](<a href=“http://examdude.com/]Online”>http://examdude.com/) You can practice for months with prompts from previously administered tests.</p>
