Start with the official combination of Bluebook + Khan Academy. College Board says Bluebook provides full-length adaptive digital practice tests, and after you finish one, your results can generate targeted practice.
Khan Academy's Official SAT Prep is free, has thousands of questions and lessons, and its study plan is personalized around the skills you need to improve.
For a paid adaptive app, Magoosh is worth considering; its current SAT offering includes practice tests, video lessons, study schedules and data-driven score prediction.
One important distinction: “adaptive learning” (the app changes what you study based on your weaknesses) isn't necessarily the same as an “adaptive test” (the test changes question difficulty based on your answers). Bluebook does the latter because it uses the same multistage adaptive model as the digital SAT.
If you tell me your target score, current score, budget, and test date, I can compare the best 3–5 adaptive SAT apps specifically for you.
Since the SAT transitioned to a fully digital and multi-stage adaptive format (where your performance on the first module of a section dictates the difficulty of the second module), several prep platforms and apps have incorporated adaptive algorithms or customized learning paths to mirror this structure.
Options offering adaptive learning or targeted skill-gap adjusting for the Digital SAT include:
