Hi,
If you could state the purpose of taking these tests, it would be easy to guide you because SAT, TOEFL and IELTS are international standardised tests mainly use for the admissions abroad. Whereas, MAT is a national management entrance exam. For the preparation of SAT exam, visit khanacademy.org and the official site for registration is collegeboard.org.
For TOEFL and IELTS, just search on Amazon or Google and you will get e-books to download. I would suggest, you should take a mock test, first and then see which one is easier for you.
All the best.
