<p>I know that this sounds VERY silly, but I’m actually serious: is the real SAT printed on like regular printer paper that you might find at staples, or that cheap paper found in the Blue Book. </p>
<p>Any help greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Hhahahahah great question!</p>
<p>The books themselves are printed on newspaper-like material. The answer books however, are just nice-ish copy paper. You shouldn’t have to worry about tearing through the answer book by accident :)</p>
<p>I’m asking because on the critical reading section in particular, reading the material on regular printer paper is easier on the eyes and for the math section, it is easier to write down stuff on high quality paper. </p>
<p>The college board blue book and kind of crappy and when I mark parts of the passage, it is hard to discern what is what.</p>
<p>Let’s see:</p>
<p>All CB answer sheets are printed on good-quality copy paper.
AP Exam MC/FR booklets are printed on good-quality copy paper.
SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Test questions are printed on the cheap, Blue Book paper.</p>
<p>^Probably because the SAT and SAT II are both longer tests than APs. If you’ve seen the SAT II booklets they hand out, they’re massive. And more people probably take the SAT alone than an AP.</p>
<p>The answer sheets are printed on nice white thick paper. The question books, however, are apparently printed on toiled paper.</p>
