This site says it is put together by a team of educators. It offers free practice tests (called "self-improvement modules) in a number of English- and math-related categories for a wide variety of tests (SAT, GRE, GED, GMAT, LSAT, etc.). However, the modules and related "self-improvement links" seem nearly identical despite the test type chosen. Additionally, the assessment you receive after taking the test consists only of feedback on the number of errors made with no additional explanation. Still, this site could be a helpful starting point, particularly for those who haven't been in school for a while.
