College Board and Khan Academy

SAT/PSAT partners with Khan Academy to provide support to students based on their scores and progress.  Khan Academy will retire the old SAT Practice Experience, and students will now be able to utilize Khan Academy’s Official Digital SAT Prep courses, developed in partnership with College Board. 

The two Official Digital SAT Prep courses (Math and Reading and Writing) will provide students the opportunity to do the following: 

• Read articles, watch videos, and work on thousands of practice exercises for every skill evaluated in the tests.
• Take quizzes, unit tests, and course challenges to track and prove your mastery level in all skills.
• Track both time spent on SAT prep and mastery data for all of the different skills in each Digital SAT course
