Hi Jadaya,
I personally used Khan Academy and really saw an increase in my score for my math section. The way they show you your progress in math is good for you to visualize what topics in math you're already strong in and what topics you still need work on. For math, there are also a lot of questions for you to practice those skills. Khan Academy is not really strong in the grammar section, in my opinion, but you could use it for the reading section to practice with reading and annotating passages. I never used KA for the reading section though. They also have free practice tests for you to get a sense of what taking the entire test would be like, so maybe schedule your time so that you are practicing questions and then taking a practice test every once in a while to monitor your progress. While I think Khan Academy is the best free resource, you could also buy test prep books that might be able to give you more practice, like The Princeton Review or Kaplan, but also keep in mind that it's mainly for practice and they won't imitate the difficulty level as well as Khan Academy does (Khan Academy was created in partnership with Collegeboard). Good luck studying!
