While there is a huge availability of SAT prep resources online, and offline as well it is up to the applicants to choose which one suits them the best.

A perfect SAT score is 1600 on the Digital SAT and not 2400. The SAT score of 2400 was used for the older version of SAT exam. There are two sections on the latest SAT exam version and both of them are scored in the following manner:SAT Reading + Writing (RW) Section: Scored between 200 - 800SAT Math Section: Scored between 200 - 800So the minimum possible score on SAT can be 400, and the highest or perfect SAT score is 1600. This is how the scores are also calculated.

No, SAT exams are proctored at designated test centres by College Board. Even after SAT has gone Digital, the applicants still have to appear for the exam at a test centre only and do not have the option of taking it from home at present. Thus, those planning to take SAT exam upon registration will have to choose a nearby SAT exam centre in order to appear for the exam.
